9/20 - 9/23 Washington

On our route back to the US, Alex was waiting to join us at our next destination.  John and I hadn't had any problem finding camp sites all the way to the west coast, but that was all changed.  Frustration and disappointment was about to kick all of our asses.  There was too much confusion and I finally got frustrated with finding nothing (and of course, still feeling uncomfortable wanting to park our RV in Seattle), so I booked a site 1 hour north of Seattle at Angel of the Winds RV Resort  The place was super nice with some cool amenities.  But it was such a short stay so much of it was missed by us.  Alex actually met us up there.  We hung out, tried to figure out our next destination and went for a soak in the hot tub.  And then her and Kurt went back to their place for the night.  Kurt was able to grab a few things he forgot, sleep in a comfy bed with his gal and then be ready to meet us at our next stop.  

We all agreed to head to Ocean City State Park  Washington.  It was a beautiful stop.  Kurt & Alex had stayed there before and liked it.  They were right.  It was great.  Right on the ocean.  A short walk to enjoy the sunset on our first night.   The next day John actually used his metal detector for some extra fun.  He actually found an "old" earring.  Old as in rusted, but it was still a find.   :-)




























vehicles can drive on the beach and this was one of them

We stayed there 2 nights, but we had to move sites.  Kurt and Alex stayed in their tent, so when we moved Kurt took the tent via his one wheel over to the other site. 

Alex had her car so we were able to get around to see things a little differently than if we just had the e-bikes.  She drove us to another section of the beach and we did some sight seeing.  And saw some incredible sea life.  We have all never seen so many starfish.

lots of jellyfish around




We played Monopoly the card game and Minou was hanging with Kurt. 


Next up we head to Astoria, Oregon.  I needed to see The Goonies house.

 I am about 15 days behind on what we have been doing.  I have a lot of drafts on deck, but haven't always had the bandwidth to add the pictures (mostly I mean wifi/cell bandwidth, but sometimes it was my own that was lacking). Sooooo much to share, but instead of trying to rush through everything we have experienced I will share what we did today then retrace my steps from Old Faithful (which is one of the drafts) to yesterday.  Today we are in Twin Falls, Idaho!  We are staying at the  Oregon Trails Campground .  It was a pretty decent place.  It might not seem like a place you'd stop, but it was a comfortable drive from the eastern side of Oregon heading southeast and we needed a couple of days to re-establish our plan going forward - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! So we spent a good amount of time chilling and mapping and around 3p we headed out to on our bikes.  We headed to Snake Canyon, which was about 5 miles away.  There was a great paved wal...

9/11 - 9/13

 On 9/11 we arrived at Custer State Park First up is DONKEYS!!! Next we have herds of BISON!! We arrived at our home for 2 nights,  Custer Crazy Horse Campground .  It wasn't bad.  Actually had some pretty good spots for tents near huge boulders and they even had some cabins (actually a lot of the campgrounds around here have them).  the boulder with the tent site I thought was cool the cabins - there were more on the other side of the campground too. looking up from our site - it's the same boulder as above.  It was a steep campground, but they did well with laying it out.  On 9/12 we went to  Mt. Rushmore .  I truly thought it would take us the whole day, but I think we enjoyed it for about 3 hours.  It's interesting with the National Park Pass we get in for free, but they still charge parking - ugh!  Luckily we got that half off thanks to John's age.   Mt. Rushmore was amazing.  No you can't go in the eye like Nicholas ...
