Aberdeen Trip
So with a day to kill we took the hour drive to Aberdeen, WA. The birthplace of one Kurt Cobain. We took a look at the memorial which was underneath a bridge that looks to be where the neighborhood kids met up to get high. I talked with a kayaker who went to the same…

Mount Rainier
As much as I wanted to get an early start to the day, the campsite we are at is under a pretty heavy canopy and it takes a while for the sun to find us. Long story short we got a late start to the day but we headed out to Mount Rainier. It’s a…

Downtown Seattle
We went to downtown Seattle today. Even though it was a Saturday, traffic was stunningly bad both coming and going on I5 to the point where I had trouble contemplating what rush hour must be like. Sandy was kind enough to pull up grunge related sites but when it came down to it a lot…

Mattress Follies V2
Well it’s done, we got a mattress at the place Sandy’s friend suggested and it was $300 cheaper than the one we had to cancel BUT, it’s a 14 inch mattress, even I needed to get a step stool so I could get into bed properly. But it is comfortable and that I think is…

Mattress Follies V1
So the bed we’ve got in the RV is horrible, a combination of two mattress toppers that just aren’t cutting it. So when we were camped at Doug’s in WY, I ordered a sleep number bed to be delivered to Zakery’s place last Friday (Oct 20th). They called me when they were there and I…

Travel Day – Change of Venue
Made it to Seattle today, actually I think it’s more of Tacoma than Seattle. We had been scheduled in at Kitsap state park but we decided to check and change to a military base. So we are currently camped at Join Base Lewis McChord in the RV park they have outside the adventure center. It…

Off Day
Today was the perfect down day, we went to the grocery store where I packed in the fuel to the tune of 69.241 gallons or $329.52 worth of diesel and shopped for food. Went for a hike on the coal trail then came back and did laundry. Made pizza subs but they burnt in the…

Cle Elum, WA – Whispering Pines
As we make our approach to Seattle, we cut the drive from Idaho in half by stopping for a few nights in Whispering Pines RV park. It was found on a Google search and was rated 4.2 which was higher than the others. The trip in was probably the windiest I’ve pulled the RV through…

Idaho – Farragut SP
Farragut state park is a 4000 acre park in northern Idaho at the southern tip of Lake Pend Oreille in the Coeur d’Alene Mountains. It was used in WW2 as a training campus for the navy due to the size and depth of the lake. 300k sailors trained there over the course of it’s 30…

Livingston, MT Visit
We find ourselves docked at a KOA about 12 miles south of Livingston Montana. I’m not the biggest fan of KOA’s but they have full hookups and WiFi which after boon docking for 5 days is a treat. Offline posts will need to be published but it’s next to impossible while I’m still on the…
