Cape Cod









We drove over to the Cape yesterday.  We left the campground at exactly 11 after flushing the tanks.  It was a little over two hours and was pretty uneventful.  The road conditions near Providence RI were horrible, I’m surprised we didn’t break a trailer axle.  Getting out to the Cape was pretty easy, the canal bridge wasn’t busy.  

Getting off the Cape was a different story.  I’d say the traffic was backed up and crawling to the bridge for 5 miles, maybe more.  I hope it’s not that bad leaving on Tuesday.  We found our spot near Brewster and got set up.  We took the kids for a quick lap and then put them in the trailer.  

We drove up towards Provincetown and made a few stops on the way.  We had some great fish at Moby Dicks, stopped to see a light house, which was under reconstruction.  The mosquitoes at the lighthouse/golf course were straight out of a horror movie.  There was no stopping to enjoy the sights.  

We continued north up the Cape and found another beach.  We didn’t stop at the Visitor Center and just headed for the water.  It was a beautiful afternoon and the beach wasn’t very busy.  No one was out in the water very far.  I put my feet in and it was pretty chilly.  I turned around and a lady was wearing a Sisters Oregon T shirt.  I told her we used to live in Sisters and she said she had just visited.  She is originally from Philly, but went out there to visit a friend.  She said she likes it out there and they had done a few hikes, even with the smoke.  

After the beach we drove through Provincetown and headed back to the rig.  We fed the kids and then watched all of our Sunday YouTube shows.

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?

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...
