Wow, it’s been awhile! I kind of slacked off with updating all our goings on this winter. I’ll try to trickle in the updates over the next week. As usual, we moseyed down south for the winter and are in Tucson visiting family. It’s nice because there is space in the yard for our trailer …
Wow, these year end review posts are always so fun. We went a lot of places this past year and saw a lot of new things. It’s a big wide world out there and as we go into year 7 fulltime RV travelling, lets look back at some of the magic of 2024. We visited …
On our drive to St. George where we are camping for two weeks, we passed Snow Canyon State Park and made a note to get out there to check it out. There are a multitude of paved bike paths all over the area and we made good use of them. Snow Canyon State Park is …
Previously we visited Port Townsend and Fort Worden and the other day we went to Fort Flagler. Fort Flager is on Marrowstone Island and we drove there to start our ride. Marrowstone Island’s name comes from Marrowstone Point, bestowed upon the northernmost tip of the island by British explorer George Vancouver in 1792. Vancouver apparently …
The Sequim Lavender Festival is coming up so we got a head start and did a road ride around that area before it got too busy. The lavender is in season and blooming like crazy EVERYWHERE! This ride started from Robin Hill Farm County Park which is right on the Olympic Discovery Trail. We rode …

I know, I know, you’ve read posts about us riding the ODT before. But we’re breaking it into sections and this is a different one. This time we started at Lake Crescent and headed west on the paved path. The beauty is you can pick your distance…just turn around and head back. Our ride started …
Port Angeles, Washington is on the Strait of Juan de Fuca with Ediz Hook visible across a short span of water. We rode from East Port Angeles out along the hook and back. This ride was along the Discovery Trail and mostly separated from cars on a paved path. The section along the Hook is …
Sequim, Washington lies within the rain shadow of the mighty Olympic Mountains and on average, receives less than 16 inches of rain a year. It’s nickname is sunny Sequim and it is the lavender capital of North America. It’s a bit early still for lavender, but when it is in bloom we will definitely visit. …
