Yet another delightful stay along the Oregon coast near Yachats came to an end. With the turn in weather causing more rainy and cloudy days than not – it was time to move on up the coast for our next stop. The next lighthouses are two right by each other – Yaquina Bay Lighthouse and Yaquina […]

Next up the Oregon Coast: Heceta Head Lighthouse & Yachats
We had such a delightful stay at Winchester Bay, that it was tempting to stay around longer. But we were also looking forward to the next stop up the coast – exploring the Yachats area, and touring Heceta Head Lighthouse. So we pulled out of Salmon Harbor Marina and headed up with coast, with a […]
October Mobile Internet Cellular Shake-Up
We just released our The Mobile Internet Handbook a couple months ago, and as crazy as the technology industry is – there are already some pretty major announcements that impact content in the book. And that’s exactly why we launched the RV Mobile Internet Resource Center and our new premium membership service, Mobile Internet Aficionados – as compliments to the […]
Next Up on the Oregon Coast – Umpqua River Lighthouse & Winchester Bay
My new camera (Sony WX350) is taking so many great photos (and trust me – it’s mostly the camera, not the photographer), and each of our stops have been completely wonderful on their own – that I’ve decided that each deserves a separate entry in the travelogue. Our last stop was in Charleston, OR on […]
Next Up on the Oregon Coast – Cape Arago Lighthouse & Charleston
It feels so wonderful to be back to a meandering pace, and taking in life as we see fit. No impending deadlines, no schedule to keep, no destination we’re aiming for, no commitments. When we feel like moving on, we move on. When we find a location we really like, we extend. This is exactly […]
Guide to Finding RV Parks, Campgrounds and Boondocking
We’ve not updated our finding campgrounds and RV Parks guide since 2010, and wow have things changed – finding great camping has gotten so much easier over the years! Looking back at our last guide to this topic, we used to rely a lot more on paper and computer based maps. Since then, new apps and research […]
First Stops Up the Oregon Coast
After our lighthouse volunteer gig was up at the end of September, we set off to explore the Oregon coast. We set off with no specific plans, other than an intention to see as many lighthouses as possible and find some great camping spots. First Stop: Cape Blanco On Tuesday morning we got everything packed back […]
Tips for a Great RV View & Privacy
We love a great view from our RV home, and will make compromises to get the best vista possible. We also appreciate having a bit of privacy, ideally so we can keep at least one window open all the time without unintentionally putting ourselves on display to our neighbors or folks passing by. We adore waking up […]
The Bushes of Blanco, And Other Cat Adventures…
My people have been hounding me to blog since I haven’t posted since we were in Cedar Key in January. Hounding. As if ‘hounding’ is effective encouragement for a cat! I’ve been busy – way too busy to blog. But if it gets them off my back and earns me a few treats, I guess […]
And.. it’s a Wrap!
It’s hard to believe that the month of September flew by so quickly, and our second volunteer season as lighthouse tour guides at Cape Blanco Lighthouse has come to an end. We knew pretty early on upon arriving that a month was going to be enough for us, and that our original intention of staying on […]
