*Our drive from Palouse, WA to Coeur d’Alene was relatively short. Passing through more farming country, we admired the healthy crops in the fields. Many had already been harvested, and quite a few appeared ready. Continue reading

Roy M. Chatters Newspaper & Printing Museum
*When we walked the small town the day before, we had noticed the small newspaper printing museum. Posted hours were only open on Saturday from 10-2. Since we had a short drive to our next stopover, we were not in any hurry to break camp.
We decided to get all packed and hooked up, ready to pull out and then walked the two short blocks from our site. The museum was open as we approached. Continue reading

August 17-19th – Medford, Oregon
Cheryl Erickson Scott, Karen Snyder and me
This is a bit of self-indulgence on my part, as text and the pictures in this post will be of strangers to you unless you were in my high school class in Medford Oregon.
It is quite hard for me to belief that 50 years has passed since I, along with over 600 other students, graduated from high school together. Continue reading

Hummingbird
We are in the midst of a remodeling project at our tiny mountain cabin. Nothing outlandish, but after having the place for 19 years, it was time for some refreshing.

Mesa Verde National Park

But, I still have a couple of places that we visited in June that I want to get down into the memory vaults before I forget them all together… Continue reading
