If you read this blog even only on rare occasions, chances are you have read the words “Black Box” once or twice. There’s no question, we like heir wine. A comparable wine in Canada would sell for at least $15 per bottle. Usually Walmart has it for $21.97 for the 3 liter bag, and that works…

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring
And before this day is over this old man wll be snoring. We lived in the lower mainland of British Columbia for about 10 years and this is our fourth trip down the Oregon coast so we know all about fall and winter “wet coast” weather. We are at Beverly Beach State Park near Newport on…
Sorry Contessa. Not Tonight
Yesterday, after talking about being Yakima Washington I checked Contessa Jewells blog; turns out they too were in Yakima over night. That’s kind of ironic don’t you think; We met the Jewalls on Stone Island in Mexico. Then we, from Ontario spend the night in the same town as the Jewalls who are from BC….
Howdy Neighbor
This morning we awake in an RV park in Yakima Washington, the tree fruit capital of the western US. The country and terrain are very similar to Kamloops and the Okanogan area of BC and the people are friendly. Kinda like “the beer is cold and the women are pretty” but then I don’t concern…
Bottle Brew Beer Test Results
Remember me telling you about the Bottle Brew beer that I purchased in Altona? So, in our motorhome basement, while travelling across Canada I brewed my first ever 2 liter bottle of beer. Now there are certain problems with trying something new, especially when what you are hoping to produce is a 2 liter bottle of…

We Can Still Laugh
I originally wrote this in mid March of this year, but for some reason never pulished it. I think the sign is still true today, 8 months later. Thanks to Sheila for this one. Fuel prices have jumped close to a buck a gallon since we headed south last fall and when you use a gallon…
How Could They Possibly Guess?
It’s been almost two weeks since we arrived in Edmonton and it’s been a completely great time! Yes, we had a service for Marilyn’s Mom in there as well, but we’ve had lots of time to connect with old friends and see a little more of the city then we have in the past few…
Buster: Look Out
Stopped in to get the truck washed this afternoon, gotta get it cleaned up before we hit the road tomorrow. While we were there we just had to check out the new “soon to be opened” Dog Wash. Cool!
