27 août 2016, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
We departed Magrath Saturday and arrived at Mt Meadows RV Park in Hungry Horse this afternoon.
We had a wonderful 28 days exploring Canada. We'll miss their excellent highways, national parks, paved multiuse paths, friendly people and favorable exchange rate (though net cost was about even because goods and services are about 25% higher). Good to be back in the USA... missed miles, gallons, fahrenheit, pounds and unlimited data on our phones!
Sunday we took in Kalispell, Whitefish, Whitefish Lake and Hungry Horse Dam and Reservoir. We treated ourselves at the Huckleberry Pie and Jam Factory... delicious homemade huckleberry pie and ice cream.En savoir plus

We departed Hungry Horse on Wednesday. The drive to Spokane RV Resort in Deer Park was uneventful with scenic water views along Flathead Lake, the Clark Fork River and Lake Couer d'Alene.
We started Thursday in Spokane at Pig Out in the Park. We listened to music and ate a brick of taco curly fries and deep fried lasagna...YUM, we definitely satisfied our carnival food craving for this year! http://www.spokanepigout.com/program
Had to burn some calories so we biked the Spokane River Centennial Trail. The trail took us across numerous bridges, through parks, along ridges and at water level with beautiful views of the river, falls and downtown.En savoir plus

We arrived back in Oregon at our home base in Boring on Thursday, 9/8, and spent a busy 6 days trimming hedges, cleaning the moho and celebrating. Our talented neighbor, Pat, designed and constructed an awesome weathervane for our storage building. My mother in law, Sharon, and I got our Clackamas County Library cards and signed onto their digital lending program. Sharon and I treated ourselves to pedicures. Randy put his new smoker to good use when we celebrated Sharon's 80th birthday and our son Kyle's 28th with a family picnic. Randy and I took Sharon out to lunch and a movie.En savoir plus

Friday we headed north to the Seaside Thousand Trails RV Resort. We took a long bike ride along the promenade and all points in between.... It was a good thing we did because our bikes were stolen the next night😣
Sunday we hit Astoria's Sunday Market then crossed the bridge into Washington and putzed around Long Beach.
We discovered Grizzly Tuna in Seaside, another excellent source for albacore tuna fish and chips. IMHO they're as good a the Bowpicker in Astoria.
Tuesday we spent a wonderful afternoon at Nehalem Bay State Park playing cards and visiting with Kathy, Jim, Linda, Dennis, Judy and Dick.
Wednesday we hiked Tillamook Head. The trail was a bit muddy and we had to maneuver around some landslides but it was well worth it as we were rewarded with amazing views.En savoir plus

On the way back to camp we stopped at Boiler Bay and watched the waves crashing on the rocks.
Our friends Chad & Leslie and Dean & Lesa drove over for the weekend. On Saturday we went to Depoe Bay for cocktails at the Sea Hag and pizza at the Tide Pool Pub, both annual traditions.
Monday we drove to Taft for lunch at Hwy 101 Burger then up to Roads End. The weather was much more cooperative this week so we were able to get Kuma out for some nice beach walks.En savoir plus

We spent quality time connecting with family during our autumnal stay at our home base in Boring, OR.

Since we no longer have a "sticks and bricks" home we co-hosted Thanksgiving dinner at Auntie Aki and Uncle Kay's. My sister Marcia made a delicious turkey. The next weekend we attended an open house in the Dalles... great remodel of your home Hinatsu family!

Terri hosted a delicious dinner for Jan and I.
Pedicures for Sharon and I.

We enjoyed live performances at the Alberta Rose, Gerding and Winningstad theaters where we saw Livewire, Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin, White Album Christmas and Christmas Tuna. We also took in the dinner show at Tony Starlight's. Our nights out were Christmas gifts to and from family... I can't think of a better present than memories made with loved ones.

We also spent time playing cards and wii bowling with Sharon and Larry and enjoying?!? the snow and ice.En savoir plus

Thank you so much for carrying on this family tradition... Bachan (Grandma) would be proud!
