2021 A New Chapter begins

 Hi All,    During our 2020 west trip we sold our home in Wilmington N.C. and have been renting a townhouse in Charlottesville Va. where we were re-acquainted with big snows.  We are told they normally do not have much snow so I guess this was for us :)  View out back Lake 1/4 mile away   We looked for something around Topsail island for 6 months but prices were crazy.       The townhouse was an experiment to see if we would be happy in an apartment.  We found out a couple things about ourselves.  We do not want steps and we need a little more space from neighbors.  During this time our son in law accepted a job with a church in Birmingham Alabama.   Sooooo we started looking for a small house in Birmingham.  The real estate market is crazy in Birmingham and houses were being snatched up before we could get a virtual tour.  We made a quick trip to take a look at homes that were available and planned to ...

2020 West Trip # 4 Theodore Roosevelt National Park

 Sept 4th-7th    We had a leisure morning since we would only travel 100 miles today.  Seems most campgrounds were full or closed.  We found Oleo Acres Rv Park located half way between the North and South units of TRNP for a great price with full hookups.  Once we arrived and setup camp we headed to the north unit. The next day it was the South unit and the town of Medora's turn for exploration.   Chateau De Mores the little cottage of  Antoine de Vallombrosa, the Marquis de Mores Roosevelt cabin      We have enjoyed our visit here but we need to make Seattle by September 16th so time to head West tomorrow. See Ya Then, Tom, Pat and Kira

2020 West Trip #5 Heading to Leavenworth, Wa

Image
 Sept 7th - 11th    We have 2 long days of driving to make Leavenworth Washington.  We had planned to stay at a Boondockers welcome site 25 miles north of Yellowstone but it was snowing and we did not want to chance getting stuck so we found Mountain View campground next to I-90 to spend the night.  Next day we continued west through Bozeman pass.  It was beautiful with the snow and the road was pretty decent for driving.       We continued driving all day.  We also started encountering the smoke from wildfires.  We stopped at a rest area on I-90 mile marker 58 and found a nice campground called Quartz flat as part of the rest stop and even went under I-90 to other side.  It was a national forest campground so no hookups but  did  have a dump station.    We made it to Leavenworth and setup camp at Alpine View campground.  With Kira we needed electric to run AC as it had warmed up here and this camp...
