June 1st, 2010 Cheryl Charles We left our workamping location in Hoodsport, Washington today and made our way about an hour-and-a-half further north to the Evergreen Coho SKP CoOp RV Park in Chimacum, Washington. From what we’ve been told by the locals, this area falls in the rain-shadow of the Olympic Mountains and thus is considered to be the ‘banana [...]

Hoodsport, WA
April 30th, 2010 Cheryl Charles We arrived today in Hoodsport, Washington, a beautiful little (really little) town in Washington State that sits on the Hood Canal, a 600 foot deep fjord that is home to the giant Pacific Octopus and renowned Hoodsport shrimp and some of the best oysters in the country. Wow. We didn’t know that until we got [...]

April 24th, 2010 Chuck Charles Today, I rode my bike through a Tree. Yeah, it’s hard to believe you can ride a bike through a living tree. What is truly amazing is I drove our pick-up through this same tree, a few months ago. Driving through the California Redwoods is just something you can’t explain; you have to do it [...]

Cycling Death Valley National Park to Badwater
April 4th, 2010 Chuck Charles Yesterday I rode into Death Valley. It was one of my hardest rides. It was mostly down hill but the wind was terrible. I can’t ever remember pedaling so I could go down hill! That is how strong the wind was. It was also 84 degrees but cloud cover helped me from over heating. At [...]

Desert Vistas from Brown to Green
March 19th, 2010 Cheryl Charles We finally decided on a loose itinerary for where we’re going for the next few months, so we left Cocopah Casino’s parking lot “B” yesterday and headed back the way we last came to Yuma, via Hwy 95 along the Colorado River that serves as the East and West boundaries between California and Arizona, respectively. [...]
Parker, AZ on Lake Havasu
March 18th, 2010 Cheryl Charles Where are we now? We’re currently in Parker, AZ on Lake Havasu. The lake and rocky hills with their rich black and red rock covered with patches of bright green plants are a nice change from Yuma’s flat, brown, and sand terrain. We have plans for 3 days, maybe more.
