DAYS 29-31: VERNAL, UTAH
Hello all! I took a break from blogging after my father and then mother passed away. It kind of knocked the wind out of my sails for blogging. But I’m back to finish out this trip diary. Let’s say the remaining posts about this trip are not very recent. If you’re still up to read,…
DAYS 28-29: Tahoe Area to Wendover, NV
Leaving Nevada City, we headed towards Route 80 and the Tahoe area. The uphill grade of the highway in the Tahoe region led to more than a little nail-biting, as we were towing a substantial-sized trailer. Ultimately, we made it through fine. I suspect we pissed off a fair few drivers along this part of…
Days 26-28: Nevada City / Yuba River CA
Prior to mapping out our trip, we had hopes of visiting San Francisco and Yosemite, but – holy long distances Batman – both of those were much farther from our first California campsite than you’d think. Timewise, if we wanted to get home by the end of six weeks, we needed to head east by…
Days 24-26: Redwoods and Pacific Coast CA
The road to our forest campsite took us through acres and acres of old-growth redwoods, which – if you haven’t been up close – are heart-stoppingly impressive. I decided to spring for the deluxe patio at Redwood Meadows because this was the point in our trip where we turned back inland and I wanted to…
Days 21-24: Coastal Oregon
The morning we left for the Oregon coast, Chris had some meetings scheduled mid-morning. So, about an hour from Port Angeles, we found a parking lot with five bars of cell service for him and did some shopping and ate lunch. Matthew had wanted some baskets to store things in his bunk and we found…
Days 19-21: Olympic National Forest WA
While leaving my Aunt and Uncle’s house, my cousin’s husband noticed a drip under the truck. Since I had already intended to get an oil change, I decided to get the truck looked at as soon as I could. I had already struck out at Walmart for a quick oil change the day before. Since…
Days 17-19: Seattle WA
To visit family, we stayed west of Seattle at Kitsap Memorial State Park. It was a waterfront park with a beach and views of the Olympics. It was also close enough to our prior campsite that we had plenty of time to visit nearby family. That was one of the things I was most looking…
Days 16-17: Kanaskat-Palmer State Park WA
Finding a camping site for the Fourth of July was extremely difficult. I was thrilled that one opened at a park that was en route to our next campsite in Kitsap. This one was located at a beautiful park along the Green River called Kanaskat-Palmer State Park. It was even better because it was close…
Days 14-16: Hells Canyon ID
We already thought from the – you know – name of the place, that it might be hot near Hells Canyon. And it was. The high on the only full day we were there was 105. However, we were told that in the days up until we arrived, the temperatures hit 120. We were lucky.…
Days 12-14: Coeur d’Alene ID
The last night in Glacier, Chris got a bit of a sneezy head cold, so we all scheduled Covid tests in Couer d’Alene to be on the safe side. It didn’t present like Covid, and we were vaccinated, wore masks everywhere and washed our hands, so it would have been a long shot that was…
