The wildflowers are blooming and I really recommend going there for a hike before the snakes come out!
One of my favorite drives in Washington is through Yakima Canyon. We went for camping, but ended up doing something completely different.
It’s our first time to Camano Island, a campground near us, to work out the right mix of supplies in the Westy.
Our first Westy adventure since California and with the new engine takes us to Dungeness Spit.
Dropping Vic off in LA, I have a week to head back up to Seattle. Time for the ultimate Westy trip: Ventura, Big Sur, Redwoods!
Three days of camping, but the centerpiece was the hike to Easy Pass.
The rainy and windy weekend was a perfect test environment for having a camper van for a year-round camping season.
Summer in the Northwest can be woefully short. With the work, out-of-town trips, and cool weather, this year’s felt shorter than ever. Labor Day came and went and we hadn’t even spent one night this year in our tent! How did that happen?
Sleeping in cabins fifty feet of the ground is one of my favorite ways to camp. Though it was a longer drive than we expected, the Bald Mountain Fire Lookout is large, comfortable and a great place to play cards.
Quartz Mountain Fire Lookout is one of the most unique rentals in the Washington State Park System.
Middle Fork is close to Seattle and easy to get to with a car full of children.
Our annual trip to Grayland was filthy with rain, but plentiful with oysters.
