Link to the old/original blog post. After the Via Ferrata – we were both pretty tired and sore, and we kept saying we would take an easy day to recover…but then there was just too much to see and do! Every day we said, “tomorrow, tomorrow we will take it easy” but we never did. …

Act my age? Never. Feel my age? Sometimes.(Part 1)
Link to the original/old blog post. It has been a wonderful, busy, tiring, exhilarating, thrilling, exhausting week. So much has happened since my last post I can’t possibly do it justice, but I can try! So the day after my super funtastic day in Revelstoke, I drove through Golden to the Radium Hot springs in…
A Lovely Older Couple, Some Perspective, and Van Coffee on the Balcony
Here’s a link to the original post on my old blog: Original Post When I first arrived at Harrison Hot Springs, I was feeling pretty punchy from a long day of driving but I was clinging to the fantasy of staying at the resort and soaking in the springs. It didn’t disappoint! First I was…
Super FUNtastic day!
Wow, today was the most fun I’ve had in a while. It started out a little meh because most of the main road in Revelstoke National Park is still closed due to snow. I drove up until the road was blocked and they had a big turnaround post. Some people were parking and then walking…
Chuckanut, Chilliwack…Is today Tuesday?

So, I had my first lazy morning today. No specific plans today (the big scary hike is tomorrow). I slept in, lazed about with my coffee….And wrote 4 days of blog entries. It is 10:30 and I’m still in my camp. Plan to eat breakfast soon, then go out exploring. The only “for sure” thing…
Road trip day 3, hustle to get a camp spot!
I had to get an early start today. 4 hour drive to get to the Coulter Bay Campground in Grand Teton NP…and all camping is first-come-first-served. Which really means, show up late and you have no hope of camping anywhere in the park. So, after reserving a few quiet moments to watch sunrise and have…
Road trip – Day 2, still written on day 4
I didn’t sleep well that night. I think because I drank too much coffee too late because I was worried about getting sleepy while driving. Woop, add that one to the list of worries. I got up early…before anyone else. I made my coffee and walked over to the river to enjoy the peacefulness of…
Summer Road Trip 2018 – Day 1 (written on day 4)
Wow, just realized it is already day 4!! Ok, back to day 1… I wisely had planned that this would be a short day, only 4 driving hours. I pretty much got everything ready the day before and the truck was mostly packed, which is how I was lulled into complacency and ended up leaving…
