We were looking for someplace to escape the heat this week and decided on a trip to Mt. Rainier National Park. There’s always something new to discover at the Park and this week it was Silver Falls. On our way to the Falls, we… Continue Reading “Silver Falls at Mt Rainier”
One of the nice things about shopping for a camper is that it takes you to places you might not otherwise go. Take yesterday for instance. We’d found a trailer for sale in Seabeck and wanted to take a look. Located on Hood Canal,… Continue Reading “A Camper, Submarines, and Poulsbo”
It’s camping season and sorry to say we are fresh out of campers. We sold our last one a year ago thinking we were done with hauling our sleeping quarters into the woods of the Pacific Northwest, and all over the country for that… Continue Reading “Kanaskat-Palmer and the Green River”
I’ve already posted about our trip to Long Beach on the southern coast of Washington. But I would be remiss if I left out our visit to Cape Disappointment on the southern tip of the Peninsula for it was here that the great explorers… Continue Reading “Cape Disappointment”

For this week’s photo challenge, I couldn’t help but think of some of the wonderful rivers in Washington: Snoqualmie, Skykomish, Skagit, Snohomish. Beautiful rivers with equally beautiful native names. But I finally settled on the Sol Duc which means ‘sparkling waters’ in Quillayute. … Continue Reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Sol Duc”
My ‘place in the world’ undoubtedly starts with Seattle where I was born and raised when it was just a sleepy Boeing town. Now exploding with technology and traffic, it’s increasingly crowded and expensive to live in. No matter. What I like the most… Continue Reading “Washington My Home”
