Photos from Okanogan exploration late spring 2022

Due the price of fuel, we limited our spring trip to the northern central part of the state. The Okanogan area has state and federal forests and abundant lakes and rivers/creeks. There are many campgrounds and dispersed sites are available throughout the forests. We began by driving Highway...

We use Gaia, OnX and the maps we have purchased on Avenza: Benchmark, Trails Illustrated and USFS maps.

If you need a place to camp, message me as we live about 5 miles from the ferry terminal off I 5.

Reservations only are now the rule is many Washington state park campgrounds as well as all Oregon Coast state park campgrounds. Thankfully, we were able to secure our campsites in all but one of the Washington state parks as they had a FCFS for day of camping if sites were available. You could...

Yes, the paint job looked recent as in the hot Nevada sun it would fade. Here are two photos from that trip. I didn't take more as we were concerned we would get stuck. No winch and nothing to winch to. https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/gallery/album/1472-nevada-wanderings/ Valmy power...

I really don’t like interstates and try to find alternative routes known as “Judy’s Shortcuts to nowhere”. It seems we always traveling from Battle Mountain to Winnemucca on our rockhounding road trips. There was a decent gravel road (according to Bemchmark) from exit 205 ending on 789 near...

Yes, we were looking for agates in the Horse Heaven area. Lots of agriculture but no agates near Prosser. We did find a few near Bickleton. Bickleton is a cute little community. We did find a memorial to a couple who brought the bluebirds back. Great places to explore around Bickleton although...

No data breaches but our neighbors had their locked mailboxes broken into for their W-2s and other tax info. They didn’t get any of our important info and our box doesn’t have a lock. One of neighbors had someone try to open a bank account with the info. Sorry that you had to have all that...

If you have plans and I miss you here, pm me for our email address because I check that several times a day. The site is free but we are open to small tokens of kindness. And, we can share takes of exploration. We should have potable water by June (on a well) and will be happy to fill your fresh...

We drove a gravel road down into Prosser, Washington and encountered rogue tumbleweeds last October. I was so bewildered that I failed to take photos. It was a winding steep gravel road where the tumbleweeds rolled down the steep hills.

There is a small niche market out there for well-built custom RVs. But, most of the newer ones that are massed produced suffer some issues. Just read RV Horror Stories on FB. It is really tragic when people lose their life savings to an expensive but poorly built unit. We travel on some pretty...

We recently replaced our solar setup on our camper. The work was done by a local van conversion shop. He fit us in because it was a small job but he said they had a waiting list until spring of 2021. The recently moved into a larger facility but like many manufacturers has difficulty in finding...
