Hello!
Getting ready to begin our next chapter.
We have purchased our Newmar Dutch Star 6369 and had it serviced.
5-year Oasis service, full filters, oil, gutters cleaned, and more.
New front tires. Michelins 365 70 22

The house is sold and we are getting ready to sell everything.

Final campground ... Chilliwack, BC.
No matter the size of motorhome or trailer you have, this place offers ample space for maneuvering.
This was also where the summer weather had been hiding out, because it was very warm here. My site had a lot of natural shade from some old trees, and a nice little breeze flowing across the area, and now I was finally able to spend more time outside.

The on-site sani-dump was partially obscured by a small fence they had built over...

The temperature slowly got better, allowing me to walk around in my shorts, and the closer I got to Williams Lake again, the warmer it got.
This next campground was located right at the very bottom of the busy highway junction, where BC-97 meets BC-20, and yes it gets quite noisy there during the day.
After putting the front wheels on levelers (see, I learn! ), I went to the back to hook up the water and electricity. This is also where the sani-dump is. Right at the very rear edge...

The view from my motorhome while I had my breakfast was another typical Canadian background, though this time from a campground
in the heart of First Nations territory. To be honest, I've been in First Nations territory for the past eight days. But just looking at the playground here, and their on-site museum, you can't deny where you are. They're proud to show who they are and even prouder to talk about it. Even to visitors.
The Wet'suwet'en are a band like many in this country,...

The following morning, the view of Mount Poelzer greeted me, together with the singing birds of the region and the serenity of the lake. The day before, as the wind picked up, Eddontenajon Lake, showed just how dangerous it could be as its waves met the coast.
This whole mountain range begs to be photographed and explored, if only to find out what animal species live out there.
This was the only campsite I had a little trouble backing out of. I had to move the rear into an empty site...

As I made my way down the famous Stewart-Cassiar highway, I slowed down more to be able to keep my eyes open for crossing wildlife. After all, this area is full of bears, deer, moose ... you name it. Though BC-97 north was full of bison and bear, during my whole 5200+ kilometer trip, I didn't see one moose. I saw everything BUT moose.
BC-37 south was no exception. But this stretch of highway had something better ... lots of lakes. And lots of lakeside camping.

The next morning, as the cold Yukon air welcomed me, I took a walk over to the famous Sign Post Forest. From the photos I've seen online, one cannot fathom just how large and spread out this place really is. There are thousands of
different signs, stickers, and licence plates left behind by people putting their mark on the location. And you really shouldn't leave without doing so. Though I expected some nails and a hammer to be made available to visitors,
there were none. Thankfully...

My trip now took me further northwest, on the Alaska Highway, but the most remarkable thing now was the absence of scenery.
I had a long, open road ahead of me, and lots of burned away trees, but the lack of mountains caused me to think that I was actually at the very point where the Rockies start just outide my left window. Far ahead of me lies Alaska, and its mountains couldn't be seen from here.
I must have been going upward without realizing it. When I looked at my route on the...

The second night, in Castlegar, gave me a real taste of, what I came to learn was, boondocking.
I had no hook-up, it rained constantly, and it was getting really cold. I used the heater for a little bit at a time, pulled on a hoodie, and drank lots of coffee. The campground water supply was cut off due to problems with the pipes, so they set up
port-a-potties in a strategic spot for campers to use, and that was the first time I used my own bathroom. Whoever designed this must have...

That first walk up to the motorhome I rented made me realize just how big it looked from the outside.
The rental assistant walked me through all the compartments, the hook-ups, the fuel, the sewage valves, and then the many things inside.

On the inside it looked luxurious, but it really didn't look as spacious as it did on the outside.
When she demonstrated the slide-out, I told her I probably wouldn't be needing it. But I ended up using it every day, because it does...

Hi there!

I'd come to know and love British Columbia over the years, calling it my home away from home, but I've never been north of Prince George,
or on the west side of the Rockies.
I needed that to change. I needed to see much more, so I planned a trip "around the mountain".

We left Northeast Washington and headed to Eureka California for a few days with family, and a graveside visit of my In-Laws. Since Thursday 6/13 we have been meandering our way back the the Phoenix area. We stopped at Joshua Tree for our last night out. 106° and Windy. It has been a great trip, but looking forward to being home again. The pool is 84° in the morning.

After 12 great days with our Kids/Grandkids, we departed yesterday for Eastern Washington. We were ushered out of town by 20 hours of rain and gale force winds. The furnace would not light, so used electric heat to warm things up in the morning. The coach steps gave up when exiting the park, so the new motor went in before departure. I did not realize how noisey the old steps had become. The replacement motor was a $30 no name from Amazon, so we shall see how it does. Ordering another to have in...

We have been parked at the beach in Long Beach Washington for a week now, visiting with our Son and his family. Things were a bit crowded over Memorial Day, but got pretty quiet by Tuesday. Our kids have an acre just outside of the city limits. I usually have a project or two to work on at their property. This year is an expanded goat pen. Gate and fencing from Tractor Supply. Everything else from Home Depot.

RV has funtioned well as our home away from home. The small shower...

Las Vegas NV, Ely NV, Wendell ID, Baker City OR, Cascade Locks OR, and now an extended stay (12 days) in Long Beach WA.

First 5 days were windy, and the last 2 a bit rainy. Beautiful scenery.
