Perfect in every way
Ever have one of those days when everything seems to work out right? Looking forward to our first day in Olympic National Park (#29, for those counting), we were up early and on the road by 7:30 a.m. Our first destination, thanks to the suggestion from Ron and Patty, was Hurricane Ridge. The weather when… Read more

Joy and exuberance
We’re safely at our next campground, in the lovely Sequim (pronounced skwim), WA. We are now just a short drive away from another highly anticipated National Park location – Olympic! As we planned this leg of the trip, the big decision was boat ride or no boat ride. We opted against a ferry ride, especially… Read more

Rest stop
Today was a restful, relaxing day. We had no driving to do, nowhere we needed to go, and nothing we needed to do. A day to sit back and enjoy our surroundings. When we stared these RV travels we rarely had “rest” days planned. Looking back, I was still planning these trips like planning a… Read more

Clarity
Well, today was my kind of day to recover from yesterday’s big hike. The park was just stunning, with much more crisp, bright views as compared to yesterday. And I’m grateful that we got that big hike in yesterday, since today the park was definitely more crowded. Having seen all of the major parts of… Read more

Forty four point four
Last night was the first time in almost two weeks that we weren’t camped by train tracks or a major road. Damn was it quiet! The noise doesn’t keep us awake, but waking up in the middle of the night sure sounded different. Because it didn’t sound like anything. It’s the little things. Today was… Read more

So much more to see
We are home, as in back in the United States. As lovely as it was to be in Canada, there is something about being back here that is special after 11 days away. Plus, no more funny money, kilometers and litres. I did love the French Canadian accent, though. Ooh la la. While we were… Read more

Fun in the sun
So…. the question is, did he catch any fish?!? After a couple of hours, we all needed a little break from the sun. So back to Livvy to cool off and have lunch, but then decided to find a shady spot so that Rick could also just enjoy the view and his book. It was… Read more

Revelstoked
Today was our first full day in Revelstoke and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As Karen mentioned yesterday, I purchased a fishing license so we put it to good use this morning by heading to the banks of the Columbia River at 7:30 a.m. It was just a short walk from our campsite to the river… Read more

Oh, Canada
You were waiting for a post with this title. It’s a gimme. But it is so appropriate. This has been an amazing leg of our journey, so different that visiting US National Parks. Don’t get me wrong, there are things that still make the US home (and it is tough to get Canadian citizenship right… Read more
