From September 25 until October 21, our RV was parked at Silver Cove RV Resort in Silver Lake, Washington. We parked it there while we explored Mount Ranier, Mount St. Helens, Fort Vancouver, and Fort Clatsop. They also agreed to let us store it while we were on our cruise for a fraction of the …
From Places to Stay
North Whidbey RV Park, Washington
While we explored the Cascades and Olympic Peninsula, we parked the RV at a central location. We still did a lot of driving but we could return to North Whidbey most nights. Each morning we started out in a new direction. We stayed at North Whidbey RV Park for a week and it was a …
Cedarwood Inn and Suites, Sidney British Columbia
While Tom and I were on Vancouver Island last week, we stayed at the Cedarwood Inn and Suites in Sidney. Sidney has several hotels, including a Best Western, all within walking distance of the ferry. We chose the Cedarwood Inn because it was on the ocean. It is a three-star hotel and was the least …
Windsor Hotel in Americus, Georgia
When Tom and I visited the three national parks (and one state park posting next week) in southwestern Georgia, we stayed at the historic Windsor Hotel in downtown Americus, Georgia. Normally we stay in chain hotels, where we know what to expect. But the Windsor Hotel was convenient to where we were going and put …
Fort Chiswell RV Park, Wytheville, Virginia
As Tom and I travel between Ohio and South Carolina, we have stayed at Fort Chiswell RV Park three times. It is a good halfway point to stop for the night. I’m sure we will stay there when we go back to Ohio in November. Fort Chiswell RV Park is a little different than many …
Madison KOA in DeForest Wisconsin
When Tom and I drove back to Ohio from Minnesota a couple of weeks ago, we made the trip in two days. Since we retired, we generally travel at a slower pace so we can see some things on the way. Because our time in Ohio is limited, we decided to push on through. The …
Thunderbird Lodge at Rainy Lake
For the first time since we moved in, Tom and I took a “vacation” from the RV when we went across northern Minnesota and came back through Canada. We stayed at Thunderbird Lodge on the edge of Rainy Lake, Minnesota for two nights. Northern Minnesota doesn’t have many chain hotels; our usual overnight stays when …
Herkimer Diamond Mines Resort
On our way back to Ohio from Massachusetts, we spent a night at the Herkimer Diamond Mines Resort KOA in Herkimer New York. I don’t usually write about places where we only spend one night, but the Herkimer Diamond Mines Resort was unique and worth sharing. Herkimer Diamond Mines Resort KOA is a first-class KOA …
Minuteman Campground
While we were in central Massachusetts, we stayed at the Minuteman Campground in Littleton. We stayed at the Minuteman Campground for two weeks and used it as our home base for exploring Massachusetts and for Tom going to his conference in Boston. From the Minuteman Campground it was a short drive to the commuter rail …
Salisbury Beach Campground
While Tom and I were on the shore of Massachusetts we stayed at Salisbury Beach Campground. Salisbury Beach State Reservation is one of the state’s most popular beaches and has 484 camping spaces. The campground is located on a peninsula between the ocean, the Merrimack River and a wetland marsh. There are three large parking areas …
