After our walk we drove the van over to the restrooms and took showers and then headed east. We then started our way home, but plan on taking 3 days to get there. We drove on highway 299, east from the coast, to Redding. The drive was through more forests and hills. The highway followed …

Tall, Tall, Trees (and more rain)
Late last night, after dark, another camper drove into the area and parked near our camper. The campsite was at the end of the road, so there was nowhere for them to turn around. They were pretty quiet and it looked like they were in bed within a few minutes of parking. The next morning …
How we live in a van (Down by the River)
I thought I would give an overview on how we live in about 72 square feet of space. This trip will only be 18 days, but next year we plan to go for 3-4 months at a time. The van has all the conveniences of home. We have a bed, hot and cold running water, …
Rain, rain and more rain
After 12 days of excellent weather, the rain started pouring in the night and pretty much rained all day. Between the rain and the fog, it was a pretty gray day. We woke up early and left camp. We were camped about 5 miles down a narrow steep road. I was a little worried about …
Mid Oregon Coast
Last night after we set up camp, we had a couple of vans come to camp at the same spot, luckily we were here first. On the way out the next morning, we passed one van. It was parked on the side of the dirt road on a very non-level spot. I don’t know how …
The Northern Oregon Coast
The morning was very foggy and quiet so we slept in a bit. Today was going to be a travel day, as we needed to go northwest to get closer to the Oregon coast. We were also going to be leaving the mountains and going to a lower elevation. Yesterday, at the rim of Crater …
The Deep Blue Lake
The drive from Lassen National Park to Crater Lake National Park took most of the day. As we woke it was raining a bit, but stopped by the time we left our campsite. Again, we drove on the forested lined highways that are through much of northern California. It was a very beautiful with the …
Lassen Volcanic National Park
Last night’s camp was a great location. It was very quiet and we got a good night sleep. In the morning we ate breakfast. I had oatmeal that I cooked in the microwave and Eva ate cereal. It was about a 15 minutes drive to the visitor’s center at Lassen Volcanic National Park. Our first …
Sunday Travels
We got up early and showered and got ready for church. The ward in South Lake Tahoe is pretty small and it was a small building. There was not much parking so we went early to make sure we could get our big van in the parking lot, but we ended up parking on the …
Adventure Van Expo
We got up and ate breakfast and cleaned up. We left the campground around 9 am. It was a 40 minute drive to Homewood Resort, on the west shore of the lake, where the Adventure Van Expo is held. This is an event where they have a lot of vendors displaying their equipment and campervan …
