We’re heading down to Texas for Christmas early this year because my oldest son, Robert, is flying to Texas from Seattle for the week before Christmas. (His wife is working and caring for their kitties. Robert’s in school for a career change and has time off.) So the wagon train (Matilda RV) pulled out of…
Mon October 21, 2019 We’re on the way to Hot Springs, AR for the Viva!-Trend RV Rally. I made these pins to surprise the rally-goers. We’re taking 2-lane backroads and I love, love, love it when there’s no one in front or behind us! The wind was *horrible* today! We took turns fighting the 35-40mph…
My birthday was October 9th, and this year I decided I wanted to see the Heart: Alive Tour concert in Milwaukee on Saturday, Oct 12th. We decided to take Matilda and spend the night at the Wisconsin State Fair Park RV Park. We took an Uber to eat at Carson’s Prime Steaks & Famous Barbecue…
September 22 Sunday We left Seattle Sunday morning after having breakfast with Robert and Stephanie. We headed to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to Boondock at the home of the Coles, members of Boondocker Welcome. We got there after dark because we took route 26 through the desert and stopped for lunch in Matilda. It was rainy…
Wednesday, Sep 11th, I drove Rachel & Robert to Snoqualmie Pass where they started their Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) hike, then drove to Icicle River RV Park, in Leavenworth, WA, to settle in. The next day, however, I got a call from Robert —Rachel’s knee was swollen & she was in intense pain. I returned…
Leaving Salt Lake City, we drove north to Nemah, Idaho for dinner & boondocking at Cracker Barrel. The next day we picked up 34yr old Kris who needed a ride to Eugene, Oregon. We treated him to Dairy Queen for supper & dropped him off at a hotel in Bend on our way to LaPine…
After leaving Cheyenne, we headed southwest towards Chambers Lake Campground in the Roosevelt National Forest in Colorado, our next destination for two (2) nights. We opted for the backroads, and were greeted with spectacular scenery, but also a washboard road at one point. We stopped at the Laramie River to watch a trout fisherman for…
On Aug 29th we headed out from IL to look at a house in Pleasant Hill, IA. We’re looking for a home with a fenced yard and covered garage for the RV, but this one needed too much work to fit our Trend. Onward that night to boondock at good ol’ WalMart in Fort Dodge,…
At the end of August, we drove to Seattle for my son’s wedding on September 1. After that we headed down through Washington, Oregon, California, then across Nevada, Arizona, and into Texas for my 40th high school reunion first weekend in October. Looking back at the photos, the trip seems a blur in some ways….
