This is where I went!

I didn’t know much about Olympic National Forest, so driving through there was pretty cool as I really didn’t know what to expect at any given turn. I kept thinking it seemed like a rainforest, and little did I know that it actually is! Olympic National Forest is part of the Hoh Rainforest. Pretty cool!

After a really great drive through the Cascade Mountains, I was in for a rude snap back to reality as I reentered civilization. Initially the trip was nice and scenic, but it very quickly grew congested. From malfunctioning traffic lights to bumper-to-bumper traffic jams on the expressway, I was already missing the remote places I

I was really excited about this drive. I thought I’d have to take Highway 2 around the Cascades to the south as route 20, which goes right through the Cascades, was still closed for the season. Some years they are able to open the road in late April, and other years it’s as long as

I originally was going to stay at Washburn Lake for a couple of days. Since it was such a great place with such great internet, I figured I could get some work done, enjoy the views, and also wait to see if the North Cascades Highway would be reopening. After missing out on driving Road

Ok, now this was a treat. Pretty much every place I’ve been, I’ve said “this is my favorite place yet.” But really, this is my favorite place yet! I originally left Colville with the intention of setting up camp at Serenity Lake. The land around Serenity Lake is owned by the Bureau of Land Management

I felt like I had been in Montana for a while, although I didn’t mind one bit. What an absolutely fantastic state. But today, I’d quickly go through Idaho and into Washington! Washington State is one of the states I didn’t get to travel in much when I was a truck driver, so I was

This was an interesting one! I wasn’t sure where to park for the night. There are still a ton of free camping places in Montana that are closed for the season. I did find this one spot on a couple of apps that I use. It was pretty far away from anything resembling civilization, and

Back when I was a truck driver, I got to see a lot of the country, but that mostly excluded National Parks. My route was taking my right through Glacier, so I decided to get a private campground just a few miles from the park entrance. Unfortunately, just about everything was closed, which I expected.

The Nelson Reservoir was such a great stop, and it was the first time during this trip I took an extra day to just relax and get some work done. I have to admit, it was hard to leave. I could have stayed there for a month. Here was yesterday’s sunset, just to remind me

While doing some research on Campendium, a really awesome RV camping app, I found the Nelson Reservoir Recreation Area. This is a “dry camping” area, meaning there are no hookups and no services. They do have pit toilets, but no garbage cans, no dump stations, etc. It’s basically just an open area that people have
