Newport’s Historic Bayfront

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

We decided to extend our stay here for a few more days, but that meant we had to move to a different spot as our current one has been reserved by someone else. So we found a vacant spot across … Continue reading →

Posted on October 15, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

It rained steady all night, then more this morning. I heard slight thunder in the distance, but no big storm. The rain stopped just before noon so off we go. A rainbow greeted us as we crossed the Yaquina Bay … Continue reading →

South Beach State Park, OR

Posted on October 14, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

It rained all night. Not hard, just a long steady light rain. The air remained damp the rest of the day as it has been the last couple of weeks. It makes everything look foggy all the time. Continuing south … Continue reading →

More Exploring

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

The Chinook Winds Casino here has a very nice seafood restaurant with a great ocean-side view. We resisted eating out yesterday but this morning the breakfast menu was calling us. I had the Dungeness Crab Benedict with Salmon Hash. It … Continue reading →

Pacific Coast Drive

As usual, another foggy morning. But it lightened up a bit and we went for a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway 101. One of our first stops was to visit Munson Creek Falls. At only 318 feet, this is … Continue reading →

Pacific Ocean

Posted on October 11, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

Yup, foggy morning again. But it was pretty, so worthy of a picture. It turned out to be a damp day, a little rain off and on with bits of sunshine in between. We stayed put until after lunch and … Continue reading →

A Weigh We Go

Posted on October 10, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

When we changed our state of domicile from Minnesota to South Dakota a few months back we had to change our vehicle registration to South Dakota. We received our new title for the Jeep, but never did get the new … Continue reading →

Fishy Day

Posted on October 9, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

Columbia River Gorge

Posted on October 8, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

There are benefits to touring in the “off” season. We were able to secure seats on the “Landmarks of the Gorge” cruise on the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler this morning. Normally reservations are needed well in advance, but this time of … Continue reading →

Ape Cave and Two Forests

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

While it was the north side of Mount St Helens that blew out in the 1980 eruption and that’s where several viewpoints and visitor centers are, the south side has some things going on too. Ape Cave is the third … Continue reading →

South to Woodland WA

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

Today’s daily post is brief. But that happens sometimes. Seaquest State Park, where we were the last two days, was a fine park, but seriously lacking in internet, cell phone strength and TV signal, which is hard for me to … Continue reading →

Longview WA

Posted on October 4, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

This is Bigfoot (or Sasquatch) territory. I think the whole state of Washington, or maybe the Pacific Northwest, has had more Bigfoot sightings than all the other states. Statues and signs can be found in many places throughout the state. … Continue reading →

Mount Rainier

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

We’ve been having a little problem with our fresh water pump lately, it has been spitting air with the water when we use the sink. We found a certified Winnebago repair shop near us and they squeezed us in. The … Continue reading →

Moving On

Posted on October 1, 2014 by Marsha Brecht

Not every day is an adventure. Yesterday we just relaxed, walked around Poulsbo, did some shopping, and took the day off. We did go to say goodbye to Bernie’s cousin as we plan to move to a different area today. … Continue reading →

Washington DC

Posted on October 31, 2013 by Marsha Brecht

It rained again this morning and then remained overcast and light fog for most of the day. We learned the first time we were here that driving ourselves to the capitol is a really bad idea.  Taking the train in … Continue reading →

Greenbelt Park, MD

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Marsha Brecht

It rained over night and for a while this morning.  Once it stopped we hit the road, moving further south, to Greenbelt Park in Maryland.  I’ll never get used to these metro multi-lane highways.  Give me the rural four-lane interstates! … Continue reading →

Elkton, MD

Posted on October 29, 2013 by Marsha Brecht

Driving the rest of the way around New York City and then down the New Jersey Turnpike and across the Delaware Memorial Bridge, a total of about only 150 miles, seemed like a lot longer drive than it really was. … Continue reading →

Go South Now!

Posted on October 28, 2013 by Marsha Brecht

Yes, we are hardy Minnesotans but the main reason we purchased the RV and became full-time RVers was so we could escape the winters. While the days are nice the nights are getting cold and we’re getting anxious to go … Continue reading →
