Link for pictures and descriptive captions Be sure to check the pictures, as I am not blogging much of our day to day activity except in picture captions.
FYI should be another blog and more pictures shortly.
We are on the move and for one reason or another, I have let the blog fall behind. We had made plans with Jay to meet him in Olympic National Park and to work with his calendar we were going to have to cover some ground. As it turned out he had a couple of things that came up and he will not be able to me us. Sorry for the absence on the blog.
Some of our recent adventures were driving and camping along the Gold Rush Cariboo Highway 97 south from Prince George, BC. The highway got the name from the gold rush days in the 1860s. Many towns on the road are named after mile post bunkhouses or the person that owned the shelters along the way. The scenic highway is well traveled and busy. There is still some active mining in a few areas. Two railroads follow the highway closely. Because of the mountainous nature of the area, seven tunnels are cut through some of the mountains.
At the present time we are on the west side of Olympic National Park in the Kalaloch beach campground on Pacific coastal scenic highway 101. The weather has been perfect for about 10 days straight and we have enjoyed our time in three of the Olympic National park campgrounds. We have 5 days in the park, at Sol Doc campground, Kalaloch campground , and the day at Hoh rain forest center.
This is about as far west and north in the lower 48 that we can go and this is the turn around point for us. Tomorrow, the 27th, we'll turn the rig toward Texas. Not sure of the route, we'll let the GPS start us out. The GPS indicates 2020 miles to Lubbock.
