From time to time we get invited to hang out in someone’s driveway. Usually the invitation must be declined because our rig is simply too large to fit. Our rig is nearly the size of an 18-wheeler. Parking on the street usually doesn’t work either because most communities have ordinances against such activities. We got away with it at Glen and Barb’s home in Gilroy for a week. Next time we showed up the city police arrived shortly after we did and gave us until noon to be out of town. Barb’s parents invited us by this week. Read More
Tight Fit:

We have launched Regal Jug for the summer season this last weekend. Neil and Renee with Granddaughter Georgia joined us for an overnight outing. We got in a couple hours of hot sailing both Saturday and Sunday. Here are some things that we learned… Read More
Spring Migration
We have been rushing back toward Portland this week. Three days of over 200 miles each puts us in Florence, Oregon. Normally we like to mosey, but we have covered this leg of the trip several times. The scenery is beautiful but I guess we are anxious to get it over with and see our family and friends back home. Read More
Canoeing Morro Bay:
We have been visiting some friends in Templeton California. We met Doug and Lynn in Sequim Washington and again in Indeo, California at the Motor Home Rally this winter. Most of the time we ride bicycles with Doug, but today we loaded his pickup full of kayaks and canoes and drove to Morro Bay. Read More
Arizona in the Spring
It is springtime in the Mohave Desert here in Southwest Arizona. We have been hanging out and enjoying the warm weather and flowering desert for the past two weeks. We are currently in Lake Havasu City again for the third time this season. The difference this time is the Snow Birds are migrating north and the college kids are whooping it up on spring break. There is a steady stream of big, expensive, high powered boats roaring in front of our camp. At least some of these boats take high octane racing fuel. The service stations serve it up for $7.50 a gallon. What recession? Read More

2009 in Review
I guess that I have gotten into the habit of providing a little statistical review the first of each year. I promise to make it brief. Read More
Washington Trip
Before heading south for the winter we made a quick trip to Washington. First we traveled to Sequim Washington to visit Judy’s sister, Genaveve, and her family, Karl and Mara and of course Izzy the cat. As luck would have it we arrived on Karl’s birthday, the auspicious 65th birthday. We started the day at the Oak Table Restaurant for a huge breakfast. When we finished, Mara jumped up and bussed our table. You see she works there.
Open Mic
Wow what a weekend! As many of you know we enjoy Bluegrass Music. We are spending this weekend in Tygh Valley Oregon, attending a Bluegrass Festival. Best of all we run into old friends in these places. Friday, Dale and Sharon picked us out of a group and introduced themselves again. We originally met them in Goldendale Washington and they have been reading our blog ever since. They tell us they like following our journeys.
