Growing up in Oregon, the coast was a favorite destination for our families. And now that we full-time in our RV, we have made it a point to get back there in the summer and early fall when the weather can be ideal. The Oregon Coast is 363 miles long and all of its beautiful […]
Thousand Trails
Highway 395 North
After leaving Baja, we spent a few days at the Pio Pico and Wilderness Lakes Thousand Trails campgrounds in Southern California. Wilderness Lakes was anything but wilderness as it turned out to be surrounded by the ever-growing suburbs of LA. We did enjoy some wine tasting in nearby Temecula and Jaime cranked through some laundry. […]
Happy Holidays 2017
I’ve been a complete blog slacker so here’s one post for 11/17/17 – 12/28/17. We went back to the Thousand Trails in Palm Springs and met up Denny and Veronica for Thanksgiving. I cooked a 14-pound turkey breast in our convection oven which turned out pretty good after a minor fire and ditched effort to […]
Sedona/Cottonwood
From Goosenecks we headed Southwest to Cottonwood outside of Sedona. We had stayed last Spring at the Verde Valley Thousand Trails and it was one of our favorites but a little hard to get into because many people feel the same way. Jaime managed to get us a two week reservation which went by pretty quickly. […]
La Conner
La Conner was one of our favorite Thousand Trails from last year. We had decided to head south to Moab but made a little detour to get up here to soak in a little early fall sun. The first few days did not disappoint. We hiked the rocky beaches, paddled our boards, and enjoyed the […]
Back to Pac City
The heat wave and smoke continued into September so we decided to make a break for the coast. We first booked Thousand Trails South Jetty but decided to go back to Pacific City after Kirk and Anya told us about some recent thefts at South Jetty. The beach here is a Crosby favorite and just […]
The Eclipse
Besides a trip up to Olympic National Park, this summer has been about hanging out with family in Oregon and the main event – the full eclipse on August 21. We stayed twice at the Bend-Sunriver Thousand Trails and got to meet up with RV friends who were also in Oregon for the eclipse. […]
Olympic National Park
From Pacific City, we headed up the coast to Ocean Shores, Washington. We passed through some epic scenery but didn’t stop as Google told us we had at least a five hour drive. The Washington portion of Highway 101 was especially curvy and bouncy. We have learned to be wary of opening cabinets after a […]
Pacific City Thousand Trails
Pacific City Thousand Trails is one of our favorite campgrounds on the Oregon Coast. We met up with Kirk and Anya and spent a nice four days (7/10/-7/14/17). Last year the weather during our stay was in the 80’s but this year was cooler but still sunny which is great for the Oregon Coast. I […]
Sonoma and Russian River
We finally left Oregon with our hopes of a pleasant Fall dashed by record rain. It had been a great summer but it was time to move South. We drove through the redwoods stopping at the Avenue of the Giants. We decided to break up our drive and stay overnight at the Bear River Casino south […]
