Sunrise on the strait of Juan de Fuca, right by our campsite

A highlight of the trip has been seeing friends and family along the way. Seeing my cousins in Corvallis warmed my heart. 
 
T took us to a magical fort he found in the woods near our campsite near Newport, OR. It was a steep climb! 


Ice cream and cheese at the Tilamook Factory in Oregon- oh my!


Our almost teenager

Jesse spent hours climbing Redwoods washed up on the beach we were staying at in La Push, WA. This was the most beautiful place we have been as of yet.

La Push, WA. This beach was holy

Our campsite near Port Angeles, WA- that's Canada across the strait

Happy times for Jesse in Seaside, OR



La Push, WA- have I mentioned how much we loved this beach?!

The water is freezing, the air is cold.  Jesse does not care.

friends from Holden met up with us near Newport and all the kids had fun in the sand.

Our Space

Book cabinet over our head Cooking thanksgiving meal in our one person kitchen  Our four family traveling tribe is in Los Cerritos, a small, but rapidly growing, community about halfway between La Paz and  Cabo. Here, there's a midsize sandy parking lot on the beach for tents and RVs. We've arranged our rigs into a box shape, surrounding a wide open center. We've effectively created a community square, a plaza, a place for shared meals, evening fires, and games. The plaza is also a kid magnet, and as our kids gather to play Janga, or stick fight, or do bead craft, other children poke their head into the square and often join the fun. It can be lonely being a child on the road, and what we're offering - a friendly, warm community - is a compelling siren call.   The rest of today's post will have a different flavor than previous posts, which have frequently been about what we're experiencing, either internally, related to emotional or spiritual work, or externally...

Justin did an early morning hike to Holden Lake where there was frost When not working in the kitchen or hiking, Jesse and  Justin loved working in the pottery studio Views of the 25 mile creek fire on the ferry up Tucker and Justin working in the dishpit. Everyone had a weekly shift. T played Colonel Mustard in live action Clue Outside our lodge. We all shared a room. Learning about how Holden manages waste- these are giant compost spinners. Hike to Hart Lake Waiting for the ferry back To Chelan Jesse lost his first tooth on the ferry back!

The Rug

The Rug: Our Multi-Purpose Room Without Walls My early morning writing routine happens in the wide open, wall free, but rug defined space right outside the rig. The outdoor rug, made of colorful recycled plastic fibers, is a room of our house on wheels, and what’s on it (and what happens on it) tells a story of our life on the road.  This rug looks “wrong sized” when it’s not in front of the rig. We almost returned it because when we first rolled it out, it was in our front lawn at home, and it looked like a small country had invaded our space. Surely, it was much too big for us. Thankfully, we held out, and kept it long enough to try it in front of our rig, and we saw that it fit perfectly. There are dumbells on the rug, as this is where Tucker does his daily 10 p.m. workouts. There’s a kettlebell, as it’s my gym space for my morning kettlebell routine. It’s the collection space for Jesse’s prized bottle caps that haven’t been sorted or traded and for his ever expanding stick coll...
