Heading back down from our Washington adventures we wanted to stay in the Columbia River Gorge area again. The campsite we had stayed in the last time we were here a month before was closed for the season and so we decided to look for a spot on the Washington side of the Gorge. From …
While we were up along the Northern edge of Oregon we decided to continue on up into Washington State. We knew we wanted to see Mount Rainier for sure but first, being a bit of a Tacoma fanboy, I decided to get a picture of our Tacoma in front of her namesake which I thought …
A couple of buddies of mine are long-term friends from before I knew either of them. They are both talented artists, designers and thinkers. One of them happens to also be Willow’s original rescuer.

After driving away from the SF Bay Area we knew we wanted to explore Death Valley National Park before it got too hot to enjoy. The white Tacoma, Air Conditioning and our ARB refrigerator help but still, we’d rather enjoy ourselves in 80-90 degree warm weather instead of 100+ degree hot. Just like our trip …
