Off to the Great White North – Alaska That Is
Jun 21, 2013 Today was the first day of our Alaska trip. Last night we drove to Snow College and picked up Hannah from soccer camp. We got home about 9:30 pm and started packing. We didn’t get to bed until about mid-night. This morning we got up and drove to the airport. The flight …

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 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 …
