As we enter our sixth year of retirement and RV'ing it was time for a review of life.
It is always good to look backwards in time to review how plans, goals and reality match up. We continue to evolve in our RV lifestyle.

We didn't want to wear out our welcome in the beautiful state of Wyoming, so after 3 wonderful weeks we are headed home. Slowly. We passed through Yellowstone quickly. Drove all day to get out of Montana. And tonight we are on the shore of Moses Lake, in warm Eastern Washington.
Our plan is to go south around Mt Rainier and then work our way back north to Tacoma next week.
We haven't traveled Hwy 12 in a few years and we haven't camped there in years. It's time to go look around.
