Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
Our apologies for the delay with this post — we ran into some technical difficulties with our blog site, but we think we are back in business! In our previous post, we visited Prince Rupert, BC, and then traveled up the remote Cassiar Highway. After leaving Northern British Columbia, our …
The second leg of our RV trip took us deep into British Columbia, Canada, a province that is 700 miles long and 660 miles wide. We went in search of grizzly bears–scroll down to see if we accomplished our goal! After easily crossing the US/Canada border at Sumas, Washington (near …
We’ve traveled these West Coast roads many times through California, Oregon, and Washington, but there are always beautiful views and unexpected treats.

This was our sixth trip to Yellowstone in nine years! I guess we like it! For wildlife lovers like we are, Yellowstone never disappoints–and it’s got amazing scenery and thermal features as added bonuses. The drive from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone National Park was too far for us to …
