While camped near Seattle, Washington, we visited Mt. Rainier National Park for a day hike. Mt. Rainier towers over the landscape. We could see it from our campsite, though we were something like eighty miles away. When we arrived at the visitor center at the base of the mountain, we spent some time watching numerous […]
Digging for Sea Creatures at Low Tide in Birch Bay State Park, Washington
After we bolted out of fear from our campsite in the Northern Cascades, we made dozens of calls to find a campground with availability on short notice. We found one, but we had to drive a couple hours farther than anticipated to Ferndale, Washington. Ferndale is in the northwest corner of Washington state, about twenty […]
Scared in an RV Park
I mentioned last week that I’m in charge of booking our campsites. I also mentioned early on our trip that I feel pretty safe in the parks we visit and the RV . I even detailed earlier this week how I go about searching for a campsite. However, last week was different, we were literally […]
Tour Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota
Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota has about 150 miles of cave passageways. We visited the park one morning to explore about two miles of the 150 on a guided ranger tour. Wind Cave is different than the other caves we’ve visited. Unlike most other caves, like those at Lewis & Clark State Park […]
Mealtime Madness
I have a fear. Ok, I have several fears. But this one rears its ugly head almost 3 times a day. I feel like my kids have forgotten their manners. Ever since Jane was born Mark and I would take her out to eat with us almost once a week. This allowed me a break […]
How Do We Find Our Campsites?
We’ve had a couple of RV’ers ask how we determine where we stay. So feel free to skip this post if you aren’t a camper. I usually check 4 different places to find a campsite. That is when we’re not staying in a National or State park. Those I book through the state’s website or […]
Exploring Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota
After several days in Badlands National Park in South Dakota, we weren’t real keen on visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, which had its share of badlands, grasslands, and seemed not at all unique. However, as often happens, we were surprised by what we found. Not only did we find an adorable little […]
Search for Fossils in Badlands National Park, South Dakota
In between our reservations at Yellowstone and Glacier National Park, we made a three-week loop through the Dakotas. Our first stop was Wall, SD outside Badlands National Park. We’d already spent a couple months hiking and exploring deserts through the southwestern states, and our kids seemed a little weary of hot sandy trails and blazing […]
Swing Your Campsite Round and Round
I’m in charge of planning and booking where we stay. I made most of our National Park reservations in January and early February so as we’ve been traveling we’ve had milestone destinations to reach. However, the time between parks I usually wait and book anywhere from a week out to a couple of days before […]
