Scott calls this special post, “Captain’s Log Supplemental, the Teleporting Level.” Loyal blog followers will recall our leveler system blowout, and how we had to use manual jacks for several weeks until it was repaired.  We used the level from our Walmart toolkit to ensured our RV was indeed level, not just stable. Some time…

First, a few photos of scenes along the way… Today was a fairly easy day.  Departing the campground after Scott’s 9AM Teams meeting, we headed towards Ocean City RV Resort in the “other” Ocean City in Washington.  It was raining and we did not see much in the way of attractions, so we arrived at…

First, a few photos of scenes from along the way… We had to wait for Scott to finish a business Teams call at 8:30AM, but left shortly afterwards for a ride in Polo for Vista House and various Falls (there are several along the Historic Columbia River Highway). While there was lots of parking at…

First, a few Photos of scenes along the way… Today this section is dedicated to the bridges and Dams along the Columbia River. Starting at our campsite in Umatilla, and the McNary Dam and Umatilla Bridge, we passed the John Day Dam, the Sam Hill Memorial Bridge, the Oregon Trunk Rail Bridge, the Dalles Dam,…

First, a few photos of scenes along the way… We woke up to very nice if a bit chilly weather in the Blackwell Island RV Resort.  Tom researched different bike paths for a morning ride, and chose North Centennial Trail, where we drove a short distance then took a 7 mile ride along the Spokane…

First, a few photos of scenes along the way… We woke to our first and last morning at the KOA in Canbrook.  Scott did a soak in the hot tub as soon as it opened at 8AM, then we puttered around the campground until 9:30AM or so – our next stop was the Cranbrook History…

First a few photos from scenes along the way… Today was a pretty relaxing day.  We are staying in the Cranbrook KOA – apparently Kampgrounds of America includes Canada.  This is associated with the St. Eugene Resort and Casino , and your campground fee allows you to use the resort facilities. Our original plan was…

First a few photos of scenes along the way… This is our second day in Golden, BC. We had planned to use it as another day for touring Banff, but after 3 days in Glacier, and fighting the crowds yesterday in Banff, we decided we had enough of the mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, rivers and lakes…

First, a few photos of scenes from along the way… Morning started with barely adequate showers at Centennial Park – no temperature control and you had to hit the button constantly to maintain water flow.  But at least it was cheap – and the sites were roomy. Then on the road to Banff.  We ate…

First a few photos of scenes along the way… The morning started with our first test of the silicon caulk fix for the induction cooktop.  As one would expect with Marcus’ superior knowledge of material properties, we had absolutely no problem grilling eggs, then sausage patties on the repaired cooktop. We then headed north towards…

Above – Triple Divide Peak is on the continental divide, but has an even more unique quality – rain falling on the summit will flow to either the Gulf of Mexico to the Southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the West, or the Hudson Bay to the Northeast. Hopefully rain drops that get to know each…

First, a few photos of scenes along the way… Today was a comparatively easy day – we awoke to general overcast and low clouds.  We had decided to spend an extra day to wait for better weather that was in store for Monday, so we spent this Sunday morning relaxing and catching up on emails…
