RV Adventure-Day 11

Today was excellent! I played so much on the beach, that I could hardly move the next day!
We drove from Portland to Pacific City with Barb to stay at their family's cabin. We actually stayed in the RV which was parked on their beach property. By the time we got there, the sunset was unbelievable and it was so much warmer! My Mr. Master got to watch B-Ball and he was thrilled to watch his Lakers win.

 

That salt water is tickling my nose!

 

Perfect ending to a perfect run on the beach!

 

RV Adventure-Day 10

We drove the whole Long Beach Peninsula in search of Oysterville. There wasn't much to see and it was freezing, even for a well-insulated dog like me! We walked around a little and I think the schoolhouse and the old church were probably the most interesting.

 



The town of Long Beach was very cool with their statues and small shops.

At 2:00 pm, we finally crossed into OREGON!
We went to Portland to see my masters son, James, and stayed with some friends. I got to terrorize a few cats since Rich and Barb have a lot of cats! I don't have a picture of that, but I guarantee you it was the highlight of my day!

James is doing a lot of acting and working days at the Good Earth Café in Portland

It was Barb's birthday and she is blowing out a turkey candle on a Marionberry Pie


 

RV Adventure-Days 8 and 9

We have seen so many things since I last blogged! Tonight we are at a KOA campground with Internet on Willapa Bay so I can bring you up to date. We are traveling down the west coast of Washington and it is spectacular! My masters finally got to walk in the Hoh rainforest. I was not allowed to go, but no worries! I was content to snooze away. Besides, there were some stinky large Elk right outside the RV, so I was staying put.
We took so many great pictures, that I am going to let them tell the story...

We stopped for lunch at Lake Crescent in the Olympic Peninsula.

We drove 36 miles to see the Hoh Rain Forest.

These were the Elk. You think I'm getting out to face off with these guys??

My masters said that the colors in the rainforest were unbelievable.

These stumps were black!

They call this a primevil forest...very spooky! Reminds me of the "Lord of the Rings".

Every turn on the "Moss Trail" was amazing!

We found a campsite at Kalaloch right on the water!

We woke up to seagulls and sunshine and frost...down to 20 degrees at night.

This is the path down to the beach. Look who finally got loose!



Life doesn't get better than this!

RV Adventure-Day 7

Sometimes I think my masters are just a little strange. We waited again for the RV to be repaired and I officially declared today another DDD (dumb dog day). Finally, round 6:30 pm, my Mr. Master comes roaring up in the RV to our friend's house. We quickly pack up and I hear we might go to the Dungeness Recreation Area again and camp in the woods. Boy! Am I excited to hear this!

It's dark now, we find it, but it's CLOSED! Really? My masters jump on their ipad and find a park back in Sequim because now there is talk of getting a new tire in the morning. Tonight I have to settle for a short pathetic walk.

Tomorrow we are REALLY going to start our trip as we journey into the Olympic Peninsula. I can't wait!

RV Adventure-Day 5 and 6

Day 5 is what I call a DDD-dumb dog day. We waited all day for the RV to be fixed. It's the 4th day to be in the shop. My Mr. Master finally gets the call, drives about 20 minutes away and the RV completely quits running. Good Sam's Club comes to the rescue! I bet they're thrilled that we bought that insurance 2 months ago and we already got to use it! However, the garage is closed for the weekend and so we wait.

On Day 6, my masters go to a church in Sequim and I hear them say how much they liked the message. My Mrs. Master goes on about how the pastor sounded just like Matthew McConaughey and she really liked that. Ummm...seems a little shallow.

However, I totally forgive her when she suggests that we go walking at the Dungeness Spit. Do I dare hope for an outdoor adventure?



This is no time for a nap! I have trails to sniff and bushes to pee on!

Finally, I am released and enjoy freedom in the beautiful Dungeness Spit!

 

I am exploring and I declare this a GOOD DOG DAY!!

RV Adventure-Days 3 and 4

Nothing really exciting to report for Day 3. The RV is still in the shop and my masters are getting impatient to start this trip which has been delayed by major repairs on the RV. However, the hope is that it will run like new and we will have smooth sailing, actually smooth driving, for the remainder of the trip.
Yesterday (Day 4) my masters had the brilliant idea to go to the Olympic Game Farm. This is a place where movie animals retire that were used in movies and TV series like Grizzly Adams. I wasn't sure about this from the beginning. I was to stay in the back seat, no one was allowed to get out of the car as you drive through these wild animals. When we entered the park, I could smell their disgusting odors and was not a bit pleased. When a llama stuck it's head inside the window for the bread that my masters bought to feed them, I panicked! I made myself as small as I could in the back seat (no small feat for a chubby dog like me) and basically, had an anxiety attack. I was never so glad to leave a place in my life! Who cares if the big smelly brown bear sits up for wheat bread??

The llamas chased our car!

Wouldn't YOU be scared!

RV Adventure-Day 2

 

After visiting some friends at Life Church in Oak Harbor, we took the ferry from Coupeville to Port Townsend.

My masters have some friends in Sequim and that's where we are staying the night. They have a beautiful house, but no dogs to play with. I was in the house for a little while, but then my Mr. Master took me for a walk and he decided that I was too dirty to come back in. I was relegated to sit outside the front door in the cold. Not what I consider first class treatment and I let him know.  It reminds me of a plaque we have at home in the Blue Heron Bed and Breakfast that says "What part of woof don't you understand?

We may be in a more remote area tomorrow where I will be unable to get Internet and so be unable to blog. However, check back frequently, and I will post on as many days as possible. "Woof" for now.
