During our last visit to this area, we wanted to visit Victoria and Vancouver Island, British Columbia but COVID put a stop to that. So during this visit we decided to try again.

After 4 weeks exploring the Oregon coast it was time to say “til next time” to Oregon and drive north into Washington. We had not explored much of the far western Washington coast, so we decided to check out some new areas. There are two choices we found on the west side, a southern peninsula,

Our turn east was for a stop at one of the preeminent mountain ranges in the United States. The Cascade mountains are sometimes called the American Alps and after our visit there we understand why.

Chasing 70s 2020 Part 7: Fidalgo Island, WA

We truly enjoyed the last two weeks on the Olympic Peninsula and the exploring the Olympic mountain range. Knowing we have more mountains in our travel plans down the road, we made one last stop to visit the sea. Our original plans were to stay on Whidbey Island and the Navy Base there. We have

Chasing 70s 2020 Part 5: Olympic National Park-South

Olympic National Park has been on our bucket list for some time. It is a big area consuming most all of the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State and is known for its rain forests, mountains and glaciers. It also has some wonderful coastline and beaches. We decided to split it up into two distinct areas.

The northern Oregon coast was the last section of coastline we had to visit to make it a full coastline tour. We chose to base out of the Astoria area. The Oregon National Guard has a small training post just south of Astoria with a wonderful little RV park. We decided to stay there as
