🐾 Jack’s Notes This Guy! He left me forever x 22. The audacity! And… I saw him on the beach taking pictures – of what? I don’t know; silly shit. Who cares – he left me in a strange, but beautiful, well appointed, nicely designed home, with excellent landscape, and plenty of water… Regardless, I…
Something about this place just says naptime; for example this morning I took a nap. Maybe it’s the rhythmic sound of the ocean or the perpetual 65-degree temperatures and light breeze, I don’t know but I have the best naps here. Jack doesn’t seem to mind. After napping, and some laundry, we walked along the…
I had just parked and started walking down the hill overlooking the beach when someone coming from the other way recommended I take care with my little dog because there was a coyote about half way down the hill “playing” with a mouse it had caught. Sure as anything he couldn’t be missed sitting on…
I’m here and settled and going to make the best of it. Today I took a nap! After being lazy I went for a very short drive to Seal Rocks which is a town and the name of the rock formation off the coast and Waldport – which I had not yet been to. 🐾…
After getting on the road, I drove straight to Olympia—the capital of Washington State—just to walk around. I took a few photos, then headed toward Portland, OR, and stopped at a wildlife refuge on the way that promised wildlife viewing. It probably does, but it doesn’t allow dogs on the trail, so… we walked around…
I checked out of the hotel around 10 a.m. and had already noticed so many blackberry bushes by the side of the road near the parking lot. I filled my bowl, and stomach, about halfway, then Jack lunged and I dumped all of them (from the bowl). Try again—this time with feeling, and Jack in…
After a shower at Flying J, I went to Boundary Bay Regional Park. I included a photo of the Flying J shower because a couple people asked. They are very clean, safe, and somewhat spacious – all for $9. I also have a Planet Fitness membership to workout and shower while on the road –…
The rest area west of Hope seems to be a bit of an informal campground. When I woke up, there were RVs, adventure vans, and campers scattered around. After getting up, Jack and I headed back through Hope to go to the Flying J for a shower, then continued west toward Vancouver. Our first real…
Calgary, Alberta to Hope, British Columbia 517 miles What a day. I woke up after a wonderful night’s sleep and made the decision not to go back into Calgary. I had really enjoyed the city, but Vancouver was calling. The GPS said I had about a 10½-hour drive ahead of me. My plan was perfectly…
Today began with more prairie. And then more prairie. The drive west from Regina continued through an enormous landscape of open fields, hay bales, and seemingly endless sky. Every so often, a dirt road would intersect the highway and disappear toward the horizon. I stopped to photograph a few of them because they seemed to…
