Out of LA



























Friday we went back up to Houghton and did a quick shop.  We may have also had another tostada…  We felt bad for the people next to us.  Their server was new or gave zero s#!ts about being a server.  We had our food before they got their beers and we sat down after them.  

We spent the weekend hanging out around camp.  We did some paddling in the kayaks and I swam a few times.  My family came out to visit, we cooked dinner a few times and had some nice sunsets.  I’m going to miss campfires on the hill.  On a side note, I procured a semi truck rim and made a new fire pit out of it.  It’s impressive how tough that steel is.  I killed a 1/2 drill bit by putting 16 holes in the rim for airflow.  I did a two hour burn in it to clean it up and it looks like it’ll work well.  

Yesterday we left at about 10:15, thanks Tim and Wendy for the hospitality.  We pulled in at my moms and we did two loads of laundry as well as washing the truck and camper.  I even did the roof.  It was in need of a scrub.  The roof had never been done and the truck/camper haven’t been done since Pigeon Forge.  I’m excited that rain isn’t in the forecast for a while.  

We made our way to Marquette and got into our park after 4pm which is late for us.  We received our directions and found someone in our spot.  This would be no big deal if we weren’t going to be here for two weeks.  We talked to the people who assured us they were in their correct spot.  Turns out they were in our spot and had to move.  I think they’re getting comped a night for having to move.  This was a first for 9 months on the road.  

Katy’s parents came down for dinner and we had a nice visit. After they headed for home we walked the kids and caught up on our Sunday shows that we missed.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Image
Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
