We drove out of the mountains of the North Cascades back into the rolling plains. Someone told us that the town of Winthrop was a cute little cowboy town so we planned 2 nights here. Just before we arrived, we […]
Diablo Lake in North Cascades National Park
The “crown jewel” of North Cascades National Park is Diablo Lake. It is a stunning turquoise green lake. We had intended on putting the canoe in and fishing, but the wind didn’t really cooperate the days we were there. Instead, we […]
Hike to Rainy Lake/Maple Pass
We started the morning fishing from our campground in the Skagit River. I dressed to the 9s in my hip waders and fishing vest. We knew there were both trout and salmon in the lake. We were ready for the trout, […]
Hiking Cascade Pass in North Cascades National Park

Tourist City Day
After hiking and forests and mountains and rivers, today was “city day”. We went to breakfast in Port Angeles at First Haven Café, a very small but busy little restaurant downtown. The very first item on the menu was French […]
North Coast of Olympic National Park
Though we are still visiting Olympic National Park, today we moved to a campground on the north coast, Elwah Dam RV Park near Port Angeles. The motorhomes sit close together, but we needed to recharge and get some laundry done and this […]
Cape Flattery – Northwest Tip of US
Well, technically the northwest tip of the US was our aim today: Cape Flattery. In fact, I decided a new item to add to our bucket list, standing on all 4 corners of the US, so now we can check off […]
