We slept really well especially since we both took sleeping pills at 12:30am. Today’s adventure is a trip to the English countryside including Bath and Stonehenge. We must take the underground to Waterloo Station, the largest railway station in Europe. We are traveling with The English Tour Bus Company and are in the competent hands… Continue reading London –11 September 2015

London –10 September 2015 Afternoon
The results of my trip to the corner bakery are disappointing. I get cappuccino and croissants. I must have turned on the oven broiler to heat up the croissants because within 30 seconds the tops are seriously burned. I cut off most of the char and they are just OK and the cappuccino tastes of… Continue reading London –10 September 2015 Afternoon
London — 10 September 2015 Morning
London September 10, 2015 Morning Here we are in London! It’s our first time here and we can’t wait to see this incredible city. There was one close call before we left. I broke a tooth right in half length-wise. Thank goodness it wasn’t while we were on vacation. I’m not sure I would trust… Continue reading London — 10 September 2015 Morning
16 September — Ashland, Oregon
On our last morning in Crater Lake we decided to give the lake one more try. It was still smoky but we could see a little more of the lake’s beauty. Unfortunately we were missing so much more. We vow to come back for a day during our time in Ashland–it’s just a 2 hour… Continue reading 16 September — Ashland, Oregon
13 September — Crater Lake NP
We can’t wait to finally see the lake since we didn’t get to see it last year due to fog. It is supposed to take your breath away! The lake was formed from the collapse of Mount Mazama after a major eruption about 5700 B.C. It is the deepest lake in the US and it… Continue reading 13 September — Crater Lake NP
12 September — Lava Beds NM to Crater Lake NP
We wake up to another incredible morning red sun. The weather is lovely and we make coffee on our little Coleman stove on the picnic table. We took 2 short camping trips in July and August (Palomar Mountain and Idyllwild) and afterwards Howard said we wanted to get a one-burner stove to use outside of… Continue reading 12 September — Lava Beds NM to Crater Lake NP
10 September — Lava Beds National Monument
It’s 3pm and we are enjoying a little snack under a big Juniper tree at Lava Beds National Monument. I think we got the best campsite (D27)–lots of shade and there is a nice breeze. This place is way the hell out in nowhere. In fact we were shocked to see anyone else here although… Continue reading 10 September — Lava Beds National Monument
9 September — Lassen Volcanic National Park
I just got back from a short walk to Summit Lake. Our campsite has a view of the lake. When I took the dogs out for their morning “constitutional” I thought I heard geese but there were none to be found in the lake. We haven’t seen any water fowl–but we sure see and hear… Continue reading 9 September — Lassen Volcanic National Park
7 September — Lassen Volcanic National Park
Our drive yesterday to Lassen was not bad at all. It was 3 1/2 hours to the entrance and then another half hour of slow switchbacks to the Summit Lake South campground. We arrived a day early and did not have a reservation for last night. We decided to stay at the same campground (site… Continue reading 7 September — Lassen Volcanic National Park
6 September — Lassen Volcanic National Park
Here we are in Lassen NP. There’s a long story about how we got here a day early. The plans we made on 09/04 were not to be! Our kitchen sink has been leaking. We asked our RV storage place to fix it before we picked Diana up for this trip. When I arrived to… Continue reading 6 September — Lassen Volcanic National Park
