Waking up at Meri's place means that there is no RV blinds to lift next to the bed, for Lisette to take a photo of what's outside the window first thing in the morning. It does mean, however, that Lisette will have photos of the far wall of Meri's guest bedroom, because that's what she […]
Our Internet and cell service had been spotty overnight, and we realized it was because we'd parked the RV underneath a big tree! While yesterday had been sunny and hot, today the weather had taken a much colder turn, with cooler temperatures and grey, rain-filled clouds threatening us from above. Michael hadn't explored Poulsbo yet, […]
After seeing bear prints on the ground near where we slept, we woke up peacefully, with no bears or other big creatures in sight! After dusting ourselves off and having breakfast, we continued to explore the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula. And it is stunning, with the snow-capped mountains reflecting along the crystal clear water […]
Happy 100 days on the road to us! And how did we celebrate? By having an argument, over something really dumb that exploded because we were both feeling testy. We don't tend to fight much, but after being together every. single. day. it's something unsurprising that could happen?! A friend asked us recently if we […]
We woke up as the traffic started to pick up again, with more cars and trucks zooming past to get to the Oregon Coast. We soon joined them, going to Tillamook Creamery, the famous cheese factory we'd last been to about a decade ago. Michael is a huge fan of Tillamook ice cream (as we […]
Sheila's first walk of the day was through the suburban road in Milwaukie. It was a quiet street, but an eventful walk, as many homes had dogs who were awake and probably having their first barks of the day as we walked past! And of course there were several squirrels that got Sheila excited! We […]
We're fast approaching 100 days on the road, and so far, sleeping near railway tracks has been the most disruptive to getting a good nights' rest. Is there a reason why trains need to blast their whistle so loudly and frequently all through the night? Someone please explain (yawns and reaches for more caffeine). Beacon […]
It had rained overnight, so the ground outside was squishy and a bit muddy in places. Michael had to turn the RV around 180 degrees and a little closer to the road, because the Internet connection was spotty for Lisette's call. Fortunately, the call progressed without a hitch, but it did mean that without a […]
After a peaceful nights' sleep with no light pollution to bother us, Lisette went to take her daily "what's outside her bedroom window" photo first thing in the morning, only to lift the blinds and be greeted by a tree! We couldn't help laughing at the unexpected sight. It turns out we'd sidled up next […]
We had slept in pitch black, being surrounded by towering forests and hearing nothing but the sounds of a stream when we woke up in the morning. It's kind of eerie in a way to be in such darkness, where we couldn't even see our hand in front of our face going to bed! This […]
