My Life and Travels
Drove 393 miles today and it is good to be back for more fishing. Tomorrow is going to be cold and very windy so may wait until Saturday to fish.
The river is real low this year.
Water is usually up to the grass.
Leaving today for our Spring trip to Montana. Spending the night at Cabela’s in Post Falls,ID. It is really a handy spot except for satellite TV does not want to work here. Had to turn the system on and off three times before the receiver could find a satellite. I have the same problem at the big house. Sometimes I have to hook up the pickup in front of the post office and I have never been able to find a satellite there.
Drove 312 miles today, will add maps we have a better cell connection

Trip south 1555, mapping GPS quit tracking, when we got to Buckeye I figured out how to do a soft reset.
Trip north 2025
Couple of weeks ago I could not log onto the website from my PC. I could still create posts from my phone and Ipad but not my PC. Also the auto notifications quit go out. This evening (4/26/2022) I got help from my ISP and got the website working again, I think.
Final day of this outing 223 miles 5 hours.
We almost had to drive around, Snoqualmie Pass had driving restriction up until just before we left Kennewick.
330 Miles 7 hours
Site 133
We are here to spend Easter with the Garica’s.
300 Miles today 6 hours.
We stayed on the south side of I-5, the parking area is flatter than the north side.
Yes the snow is just above the rest stop.
Here are some pictures from the Siskiyou’s. The roads may have been alright in the afternoon.
We drove from Ukiah to Crescent City today, 240 miles and 5 hours.
We have a nice view of the water.
Shoreline RV Park site 81
At our lunch stop we had to decide if we are going north via I-5 and the Siskiyou’s or out to the coast around the cold weather and possible snow in the mountains. Driving the coach in the snow is one of the things I try to avoid, thus it is out to the coast and an extra 250 miles and an additional day’s travel.
Today’s drive 506 miles.
We left Quartzsite a day early because a weather front is moving in Monday and Tuesday, 40 mph winds with gusts to 50.
Tehachapi is going to get COLD Monday night. At this point we will be long gone. Once we get off the high desert the weather improves.
Today’s drive
We got a spot by an island so we can have the bed slide out tonight.
Monday we will get to Corning, CA and then through the mountains on Tuesday before the snow. What a trip.
Moving 2.5 miles to Hi Jolly BLM camping area. The winter season is long passed and only a 16 people here, during mid January there will be 100’s here. It is also going to be 98° both today and tomorrow. We will be heading west and north on Monday. I wanted to drive north through Nevada and Idaho but the weather is still cold up there and we could run into snow.
