The Tasman penninsula is a bit of land one the southeast side of the island. It was used as a maximum security prison in the 1800s. There were no walls as the only way off is through a small point of land that connects the penninsula to the island. We first stopped at a Tasmanian […]

January 28, 2010Hartz Mtn
January 27, 2010Finally left Hobart today. We went down southwest from the capital to go for a hike. We started at some foresting area (where they told us they were planting our future — how nice since they just cut it down) where we saw our first wild wallaby. He hopped right by. We then decided to […]

Home Sweet Home
August 1, 2009Not much to say today. We got up early, 7, and headed home. We dropped off all of our stuff at home (its AMAZING how much crap we had in the RV) and with the help of Mike Winstandley (who was house watching for us), we cleaned the RV and returned it. All in all […]
Crater Lake to Berkeley CA
July 31, 2009A final day of driving brought us from the National Park to Jim and Janet’s house in Berkeley. We slowly made our way into California, once again arriving in the state we live. We drive by Mount Shasta (home of many a Houseboat trip), past Weed California (which always brings up thoughts of Terry McDaniel), […]
Umatilla to Crater Lake National Park
July 30, 2009Today was exciting because we got to see yet another National Park. Crater Lake is in Oregon and is a lake that has formed inside a volcano which has no top. No water leaves the lake, and there are no rivers out of the lake. The water is a crazy blue color (hard to see […]
Glacier to Umatilla OR
July 29, 2009Today is my birthday 🙂 37 Awaking in the park it was a good but sad day. We had to say goodbye to my parents who were flying home. We had a nice birthday breakfast (even though I really don’t like breakfast) and dropped them off at the Glacier airport. On our way out of […]
Glacier National Park
July 28, 2009Today we took the Red Bus Tour of Glacier. This is one of the most beautiful parks I have been to. Not a lot of animals, however the scenery is awesome. The red buses have been around since the 30’s in the national park. The roof of the bus comes off and gives you a […]
Polson MT to Glacier National Park
July 27, 2009We awoke from our overlook of Flathead Lake and slowly moved on to Glacier. We started by throwing the dog in the lake for a while, then went wine tasting at Mountain Winery (also on the lake). The afternoon consisted of class II-III whitewater rafting. It was my mothers first time in a raft and […]
