Neah Bay / Cape Flattery

Just..another..step...back..

From our summer spot outside of Port Angeles Washington we’re about an hour and a half drive from the northwesternmost point of the contiguous USA - Cape Flattery.  Since this is the first time we’ve been that close to one of the extreme corners of the country it was on our short list to visit during our stay here. We made that drive today.  And - it is a drive. …   Read More >>

Three Days Off

We'd never really heard of transient moorage

This week we worked Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Three days on. Wednesday morning we woke up, knowing that we now have three days off. Woot!

After stops at the RV parts store—we needed a new trailer bumper…   Read More >>

But, when we got there, we both felt compelled to…   Read More >>

Kalaloch with Friends

Pickup football on the beach

After flying through Oregon, we headed to the Pacific coastline of Washington. The camphosting family that we met back in Arizona, the “Q” family, is camphosting at the Olympic National Park’s Kalaloch campground for the summer. We’ve kept in contact since meeting them in April—especially the kids. Before accepting our camphosting position in Port Angeles, I wasn’t sure if we’d want to head so far north into Washington to visit…   Read More >>
