At around 2am, we woke up to the sound of wolves howling in the distance! Michael excited woke Lisette up before 6am, as the fog was lifting at Elk Ranch flats, to see the beautiful sunrise. While there weren't any wildlife here (yet), it's a very popular spot to see bison, elk, pronghorn, and other […]
The best time to see animals at Yellowstone National Park is early in the morning, so we were on the road by 6.45am, ready for another exciting day. We'd heard some of the best places to see animals like bison, elk and antelope was Lamar Valley, so we headed there as the fog was still […]
Lisette awoke not to the pleasant sound of the stream alongside where the RV was parked, but by Michael shaking her awake so we could move from our parking spot. Someone had shown up by 6am to go for a jog, and there'd undoubtedly be more people arriving in the lot. Lisette is definitely the […]
We woke up to sound of cows, still making hilarious high pitched or drawn-out mooing sounds from across the water, as if the cows were actually being impersonated by a person. Fortunately it had been a quiet night with hardly any traffic. We ventured to the RV park that we weren't able to book the […]
After 2 nights of wet wipe showers, we hoped to change our fortunes today, with Michael heading to the RV shop that we parked alongside overnight. The RV shop had not one, or two, but THREE water pump replacement options--success! Michael was able to install it in record time where we had parked, and it […]
When we woke up, Michael commented that the trees smelled kind of weird, as he exited the RV to give Sheila her breakfast. Lisette sniffed the air, and it didn't smell nice. It later dawned on us that there was a rug that had been disposed of in the trees in front of us, and […]
There were no signs of the deer we saw last night, but the big truck that also stayed overnight was still in his spot. We had a decent drive of about an hour or so to Spokane, the most populous city in eastern Washington with about 230,000 people. Spokane (pronounced Spo-KAN), is named after the […]
In the morning, we found that a car had parked directly facing us, making it more challenging (but not impossible) to exit, but we'd have to back out and drive around them. We never found out who the driver was, but it was weird as there were literally more than a dozen other spots this […]
We were lucky to have found an incredible spot by the water with no signs that said we couldn't stay there overnight! In the morning, it was cooler and foggier, which meant that there were no signs of Mount Rainier in the distance anymore, as it was enshrouded in cloud. But we were able to […]
The headline may seem confusing: Bremerton is west of Washington state, and San Francisco is two states down, in Northern California. But that's indeed what happened the next 3 days: after Michael made an appointment with our dermatologist back in San Francisco and flew down, while Lisette and Sheila hung out with Meri, Sophie and […]
