Where Travel and Learning Come Together
Let’s talk about fuel. When reading this, keep in mind that we are just under 16000 GVW. That’s the total weight for the truck and trailer. I filled up the truck on departure day just before hooking up. The first stretch was from Kalispell MT to Newport WA. It was roughly 215 miles. It was…
It is Friday night, and we are feeling right! Isnt that how the song goes? Anyhow, it is Friday, we are staying at a campground outside of Silver Creek WA. It’s a small town about 100 miles south of Seattle. We have been here since Monday, and done a lot. Tuesday we went to MT…

We have officially been full time for a week. And what a week it’s been. We have stayed in 3 different campgrounds, in 3 different parts of the beautiful state of Washington. I was lucky enough to goto the Seahawks season opener and sit in a sweet suite. It wasn’t the best game, but we…

Today didn’t go as originally planned. But it was a good day. We spent the day around the house and did some more organizing. The trailer was in disarray (still is) and we spent a lot of time shifting, cleaning, and getting things into better places. We had hoped to get out and maybe do…
