The White Rim Trail in a 4×4 Van
This is the story of my White Rim Trail adventure. We had planned this trip since June, when we stayed awake until mid-night for 3 nights in a row to reserve the three campsites. However, Eva hurt her back a few days before, so she stayed home and I went on my own for this …
Westward to Home
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)

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 …
