Those Young Guys – Finding Our Way
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

It’s that time of year when many RVers are working away busily preparing (if not already on their way) for their long awaited trip to Alaska, the wild frontier! When talking to other RVers, the subject of “Driving to Alaska” comes up now and again as we sit around the

Pinnacles National Park is one of the newest national parks in the US as of 2013. Previously it was a national monument since 1908. The park sits along the San Andreas Fault south of the San Francisco Bay Area and has a Mediterranean climate and can be quite comfortable during

We’re back. Seems like we were just here. Almost 3 months ago we stopped by this beautiful State Park for our first time and fell in love with it. So as we were coming back somewhat near this area we could not resist the chance to spend a few days

Heading North out of Phoenix up to Cottonwood provided us some terrific views as we drove into the Verde Valley. Phoenix was fogged in but soon the fog burned off and even the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff were visible and covered with snow. This lovely state park
