Where Travel and Learning Come Together
Alright, we have traveled quite a bit since last time I discussed Mileage. Here is the mileage since my last post. The first stretch we got 13.1 MPG, but this was a pretty flat stretch, towing, then we drove without the trailer up and down the coast a bit. The next move, there were some…
We spent the first month in Washington and Oregon. I wouldn’t call either state cold, but we definitely were in sweatshirt weather. We have moved south a little further in California. We spent the weekend Near Cloverdale California. And it was nice and warm. Quite a change going from 50’s and 60’s to the 80s…
Today marked our first month on the road. We also surpassed 2000 miles. We stopped and snapped a pic when we hit 2000 miles. We were driving through the Redwood Forest in Northern California. In the past 28 days we have stayed in 8 campgrounds in 5 states and have been to 4 national parks!…

We spent the last few nights near Ocean Shores WA. We Ventured up to the Olympic National Forest. There we hiked…
Saturday was a rainy day, so we checked out a couple places close to camp. First we went and checked out the Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery. There was a fun interactive visitors center for the boys to learn about Salmon migrations. Outside they had a ladder that the Salmon use to climb into a sorting facility…
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…
