Happy New Year 2021 – Hiding From The Virus
“Happy but hiding from the COVID-19 Virus” can summarize this very long past year. I celebrated when the fireworks went off marking the beginning of 2021. Happy new year and I hope it has started well for each of you. While I’ve stayed at a combination of National Forest, State Parks, and Thousand Trails campgrounds with a Casino thrown in the mix, I’ve been able to find a spot every night during the 2020 lockdowns in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, and now Arizona.

Beautiful Northern Trek Up California Coast
This is a continuation of our 2019 Northern Trek to Washington State. Since I took a blog break in 2019 I have condensed many days of travel log and photos into just a few blogs. This is the second in that series.
Merry Christmas
Jagger and I wish all our followers a “Merry Christmas” and “Happy New Year”. Another year of camping has passed. Mostly on the West Coast, we are looking forward to the adventures of the coming year.
Anniversary 5 Years and Still Going
Jagger and I passed our five year anniversary last February 2019. During those five years, we’ve visited thirty states across America, traveling over a hundred thousand miles.
Change in the Wind Thousand Trails
