From trees to dry grassland

June 13, 2021 / Rex / 2 Comments

June 10 2021 We moved 232 miles today. Like I said in my last post it’s an interesting challenge getting onto I-84, from Milo McIver State Park where we stayed for 3 nights. You need to zigzag west towards Portland (into the edge of Portland), then there is some construction at the on ramp so …

June 8 2021 For our last night in Pacific City it was SO WINDY  that we had to bring in the slide so we could sleep, the slide has a slide topper on it and it was flapping and making such a racket that we brought the slide in to quieten it down. Of course …

The research said

June 4, 2021 / Rex / 0 Comments

June 1 2021 The quick tad bit of research I did said to see the tidal pools at Haystack Rock we should get there about 1 hour before low tide. The chart the park gave us said low tide was at 12:11, so with a change of plans, we’re bad about that. The original idea …

5/29/2021 Today, with somewhat conflicting or confusing information we drove up to the Johnston Ridge Observatory at Mount St Helens. When we pulled out we weren’t sure we could get there because we thought the road was probably closed. It turns out the road was fully open and with very little snow en route. The …
