... That's the day we joined The Club! We pulled into Prince George, B.C. and headed directly to a campsite that is legendary among our RV brethren...the Walmart parking lot! I don't know how it started, but to consider yourself a true RV'er you have to spend at least one night "camping" at a Walmart. We had a full fresh water tank, empty waste tanks, and most importantly, a box of wine we were given that had been saved for a special occasion ...

... also visible from our window. The hightlight of this stay was hike up the Multnomah Falls and a visit to the Bonneville Dam and power station. We then drove to Packwood in Washington State which is about 15mi south of Mt.Rainier National Park. Again, one of the forks of Cowlitz river flowed right next to our backyard. It was very peaceful and idyllic to sit on the deck and read a book or BBQ. The highlight here is a visit ...

I arrived back home with no problems. It was a long 2 days... surprisingly I was able to sleep on the floor of JFK, although I couldn't have felt more like a bum. <br><br>One of the things that I noticed off the bat was when the flight attendent asked me if I wanted something to drink. I told her I wanted apple juice and a water, no ice in either. She quickly handed me the two cups. Given the relative complexity of the ...

... constraints. Picked up some postcards and gifts and I was on my way. When I got back, I found out that Channing was going to be at work for a little while longer so I decided to take a walk. I walked around where paths led to the swinging bridge I came into the city on, on I-90. It's huge. And what I noticed about the city is that it's very up and down. I felt like I was running hills! I walked back and got some food at ...

... The bus zips along in the diamond lane passing single-souled SUVs during rush hour. Many buses have free wi-fi connectivity on board, so I can post this entry while I go to work. On Monday though, my first day taking the bus, it was cold and rainy with gusts up to 60 mph... Seattlites are friendly people. A lady gave me a dollar for the bus 'cause she didn't have change for a five! I've started ...

Last night we stopped in Spokane, after traveling ten hours across two states to get there. Needless to we were both wearily reluctant to make the journey into Seattle. A hearty breakfast at Denny's was required to fortify us for the five hour travail. The food at Denny's is uniquely American: so cheap and so much of it! After stuffing our food filled bodies into the car, we headed out into what appeared to be rocky, hilly deserts surrounded by ...

... old woman you could ask for and told us stories while we had lunch. We ended up staying for well over an hour and when we left we told Mamie we'd be back before we left. She gave her blessing and we drove into the island to find the last place we'd be single in. The Turtleback Farm Inn is rated highly in all these different books. It won awards and accolades from all sorts of reviewers and agents. For Bethany and I, it was just the ...

... should make a point of doing some mountain biking around Hot Springs, Arkansas.You can ask Alistair Lucks about the ATC ("Arkansas Technical College") Trail. California If you hit yosemite, the Lake Tahoe area is also great for just about everything from hiking, biking, etc. The northern CA coast is pretty nice too -- Mendocino area. Northern CA is all pretty cool Finally, closer to home (relatively), is Joshua Tree. If you guys haven't been there, it's definitely worth going ...

from Wikipedia:<br>The Cascade Range is a major mountain range of western North America, extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. It includes both non-volcanic mountains, such as the North Cascades, and the notable volcanoes known as the High Cascades. The small part of the range in British ...

... eruption caused a massive debris avalanche, reducing the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677 feet (2,950 m) to 8,365 feet (2,550 m) and replacing it with a 1 mile (1.6 km) wide horseshoe-shaped crater. The debris avalanche was up to 0.7 cubic miles (2.9 km3) in volume. The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument was created to preserve the volcano and allow for its aftermath to be scientifically studied.
