Our Washington travel plans brought us to the Vancouver, Washington area. When we knew we were able to stay four nights here, we made plans to get in some pickleball with CVR (Carefree Village Resort, Yuma) picklers who are from the nearby area. Day 1 – July 26, Barry and I met Jimmy Richardson, Dottie… Continue reading Pickleball With CVR Friends – Vancouver, WA 2 Days

River Time With Eric!
We arrived at the Vancouver Elks Lodge (WA) on July 24. Part of our plans during our 4 night stay was to visit with my dear friends, Lynne and Eric Ogren. We were looking forward to getting out on the water with Eric at some point durning that time. Unfortunately, Lynne’s mom was beginning hospice… Continue reading River Time With Eric!
Mariners Game with our WA “Kids”
Instead of just getting together to visit over a meal, we prefer to have an experience doing something together instead. Experiences typically create better memories. Abby pointed out to me that the Mariners have a home game on the date that worked for all of us. Sweet. We got the tickets online. Barry and I… Continue reading Mariners Game with our WA “Kids”
Special Get-Togethers with Friends
Special Get-Togethers with Several Different Friends –While our time in the Puget Sound area of WA was focused in Tacoma to get Barry’s mom’s house ready to sell, our time was limited to see old friends & colleagues of mine in the Oak Harbor and Everett area.

Awed by Northern Lights
I was so shocked when I looked on Facebook Saturday afternoon to see several friends in Washington posting amazing photos of the Northern Lights. WHAT!?!? The pictures were all incredible. WOW! And this was from Oak Harbor to Everett to Battle Ground, WA! Did I miss a phenomenal opportunity last night here in Wyoming? I… Continue reading Awed by Northern Lights
Badlands National Park and Bighorn Sheep!
Badlands National Park Today was probably one of our hardest travel days ever. Barry drove and was fighting horrendous wind the entire time! At times he was holding the steering wheel turned to 2 o’clock just to keep us going straight! He couldn’t imagine not having the comfort drive that Newmars have. Much of the… Continue reading Badlands National Park and Bighorn Sheep!
Our 1st Tornado Warning in an RV!
Last night was quite a night. A wide path up from Texas, into Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, was filled with multiple supercells of thunderstorms that produced many tornadoes while also causing a lot of flash flooding. What made this entire situation worse was that this was mainly occurring after dark! So you can’t even watch… Continue reading Our 1st Tornado Warning in an RV!
Checking out new RVs! What’s a Grech?
Barry and I have been talking about downsizing from our 2015 Newmar Ventana Model 3636. We casually started a couple years ago just to see what was out there. We still aren’t ready to do it TODAY, but our “down time” in Dallas seemed an opportune time to begin actively researching current options. A more… Continue reading Checking out new RVs! What’s a Grech?
George W Bush Presidential Center
Today we went to the George W. Bush Presidential Center. This was our second Presidential Library Center. Nice to revisit a former president and see them as a real person. Everyone has faults, but everyone has strengths and redeeming qualities. This Presidential Center presented information with a nice balance of things to read, videos to… Continue reading George W Bush Presidential Center
Dallas Elks- Location, Location, Location!
April 18, 2024Lake Tawakoni Thousand Trails was a very peaceful place where we had full hook-ups, but it was just too far away from things we wanted to do in Dallas. Being an Elk, we take advantage of those throughout the country with RV sites if they coincide with where we are trying to stay.… Continue reading Dallas Elks- Location, Location, Location!
