An article about our first stop on our new nomadic journey. First to Leavenworth, then just outside Spokane as we make our way east.
This week we finally launched for a “shakedown cruise”. A simple one-week trip to the Hoh rain forest to see what living out of the bus would be like, to be away from our sticks and bricks home and resources, and spot any major problems we might come across.

Mom here again, checking back in to update you about how our pets have adjusted to life in our bus. Many people and families have and love their pets.

The day begins with a brief ground school
While there is no way to make this an all-inclusive list, and to date, my only experience camping is car camping, here is a list of campgrounds and places we’ve seen in Washington State and a little bit about them from our perspective. Yakima Sportsman State Park Built around a bit of an oasis in the Yakima Valley, Yakima Sportsman State Park was an overnight stay when we ventured to
