We drive to Canada frequently so we like to switch things up a bit and take different routes and stay at different campgrounds along the way. Driving over the Rockies at the southern most point in Canada, via Crowsnest Pass, is the easiest with respect to both traffic and with

Life On The Alberta Prairies – Central Alberta
Here we are hanging in central Alberta and mooching off relatives and friends. Isn’t life wonderful? We visited a few farms and ate and drank until we couldn’t move anymore. Our hiking has vanished as we soak in the atmosphere and good times. Oh well…we are having a terrific

We’re headed north to British Columbia and Alberta in Canada for a few weeks visiting friends and family. We have been having lovely weather so it was a terrific drive north. We like to take our time and get stopped by early afternoon. We headed up through Idaho via part

We love riding the 72-mile bike trail called the “Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes”. It starts in Plummer, Idaho and winds its way along the southern edge of Lake Coeur d’Alene, on up the east side of the lake to Harrison, and then follows the Coeur d’Alene River on

The final countdown! We have stayed here before and find it to be a great go-to campground when other campgrounds in the area are either full or closed for the season. Many parks in the area don’t open until Mid March or End of March but Maryhill is open year

South Beach State Park is located right in the heart of Newport, Oregon right along the coast. The campground has almost 300 sites for both RVs and tenters. This equates to 9 loops, A-I. We were there just before peak season started and loops E-I were closed but we still

We drove from Brookings to Cape Blanco and stopped a number of times at the Samuel H. Boardman State Park and the Pistol River State Park. There are nice pull outs along the way to stop and soak in the vistas. We eventually made our way to Cape Blanco, the

We made it to Oregon! After a lovely drive on Hwy 101 from Paso Robles, California to the Oregon border (over a period of time) we decided to stop in Brookings for awhile. Brookings is the southern most town on the Oregon coast and known for growing nearly 90% of
