June 29, 2006Whistler, BCThe first day in Canada we spent the night at a provincial park just outside of Whistler. This area is fantastic! I'd heard good things about it from people before, about the skiing and mountain biking. Well, the biking was...Read this update Over the BorderInto Canada now.

It is also where they brew Henry Weinhard's and Full Sail so we stopped by the brewery for a tour. View from town center. Dave...Read this update June 09, 2006Into OregonWe are moving into Oregon now, one of 2 states where you are not allowed to pump your own gas at a gas station (New Jersery is the other). I'm not sure what it tells you about a state when...Read this update Surprising IdahoIdaho is a state that always seems to surprise me. I guess it's partially because I don't have high hopes for it so the two times I've been there I've been really surprised and pleased. This time we camped at...Read this update colorado #2This trip while we were in Colorado everyone seemed to be talking about this fantastic hike to a place called Hanging Lake just outside of Glenwood Springs.
