After our wonderful time in the Columbia Gorge and our Labor Day “Harvest Host Hop,” we landed on the Oregon Coast. This was a treat and we now understand why people go there year after year. Our next stop was for an Escapees Oregon Coast Hangout in Garibaldi which is just north of Tillamook. This […]

Mobile Internet: “How do you do it?”
The question of how to get reliable, mobile internet is a frequent topic among RVers and is widely written about (see Mobile Internet Resource Center). I’m writing this because I’ve been asked 2 or 3 times in the last couple of week, “How do you do it?” In fact, I probably get that question at […]

Way back in the B.C. era (that’s ‘Before Corona’), there were actually a few newsworthy items in our life, but we were so busy that we hadn’t taken the time […]

Things have been pretty quiet in our RV life over the last few months, but there is plenty of activity elsewhere in our lives. We did go to NomadFest in October and had a great time, however, our oldest child got married the next weekend which meant we were distracted and never really processed it […]
