I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and spent with your friend, family of best your friend.Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-39103588444009833642016-11-21T19:42:00.000-08:002016-11-22T15:34:27.794-08:00Hello from WashingtonI was wondering how many people really read our blog? So if you like what we have written over the last few years please comment and let us know if you want us to keep writing about our travels. We enjoy what we do and the people we have come in contact with.<br />
<div>
So there is a little bit about what we have been doing since we left Alaska this summer. We went to Denver 5 days after Alaska and worked a Rally. From there we headed to the office to meet all of the new staff and pick up supplies for a FMCA Rally. On our way there we had new brakes installed on the coach, They are very good disk brakes and the trailer stops very good. After that we head to Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta for a great 10 day Balloon Fiesta.</div>
<div>
While here we had a little truck problem and had to have a new rear-end put into the truck. Yes, number 3 in 3 years, so this time I went back to the 4:11 gears, had 4:63 installed and got a 2 year warranty this time. So far so good.</div>
<div>
After the Balloon Fiesta we headed back to Washington to see the grand kids and our kids. It has been good, we have seen the kids and grand kids too. We are going to be here tell Thanksgiving then we are heading south for Rose Parade. Hope to get some great pictures to show everyone.</div>
<div>
So that brings us to were we are today, If I do not get very many commits then this blog will be closed down. It is easier to post on face book so I am still up in the air about this blog. </div>

I have been lazy, but enjoying the guest we have been traveling with. We finished up our Alaska trip on the 12th. They were a great group of people ans hope some day to have them all on another trip with us. We left Prince George, BC about 11:00 AM and got to Hinton, AB at just after 4:30 PM. Two of our guest were at the KOA also. The next morning we were up early for a long drive to Calgary, AB by way of Edmonton, AB. The road was a 100% better and we did make pretty good time, instead of driving back down through the rocky's. This morning we were up again and doing another 300 mile plus road trip to Great Falls, MT. We have 3 more day of driving to get to Denver by the 17th for the start of this Rally. <br />
I did down load some pictures that I want to share with everyone from when we went to Juneau and got to see Humpbacks Whales bubble netting. We have been very lucky on this trip, but this had to be a highlight. There were 9 whales in these pictures. We seen then right off the back of the boat about 50 yard the second time they came up. I did get the splash of one whale breaching totally out of the water. Cyndy was able to video tape it with the phone, but having a little problem getting it to the computer. As soon as I get it over I will post it. So here are some great picture of them.<br />

It has gotten easier to post pictures on Facebook then here. The only problem is when taking pictures with the 35 MM Camera it is a little harder to get them to Facebook. Anyway I am thinking about getting rid of the blog because Facebook is easy and fast. But I have not given up on this yet.<br />
So here is a mess of pictures I have taken in the last 4 weeks.<br />

Sorry for not posting in a while but we have been a little busy. It is easier to put a quick post on face book where we are and what we are doing. So if this keeps up the way it is going I would say watch Face Book for what we are doing and where we are at.<br />
Tomorrow we will be going over the Top of The World Highway and finally making it to Chicken, Alaska. So while we are doing this great trip you will probably get more information from Facebook about what we are doing and where we are at. So until I find some time to write here see you later.Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-36718749839772633882016-06-12T20:06:00.000-07:002016-06-12T20:06:12.348-07:00Three Days and our Alaska Trip StartsWe have been busy the last 3 days getting everything ready for the guest to show up. We have a total of 9 rigs in the park already. This makes it nice so that we can get the in-rig visit done and give them all of their things for the trip, Rod- Log, backpack, milepost, coats, and information from us. By Tuesday we should have everyone here. <br />
We had our first social tonight and everyone showed up and we had a great time finding out where everyone is from, and getting to know everyone. We had a few people show up with some great goody's. <br />
The weather has been good today. We had great sunny weather with a good amount of wind to keep it some what cool around here. But the weather has not been all that good before today. On Friday morning the 10th, at about 4:30 AM we got woke out of a very deep sleep to some load claps of thunder and lighting. That wasn't the worst of it, we start hearing something very large heading the top of our rig. The gal at the office took these picture of what was hitting our rig.<br />

As you can see the hale was the size of golf balls, but most of the hale was the size of small marbles. We did not have any damage, but one of our guest were not so lucky, his vent in the kitchen had one come right through it. Well in the next few days I will be getting ready for the orientation, making sure I have everything covered, with the help of my lovely wife Cyndy.<br />

We have noticed a lot of tanker cars sitting all over the place while traveling east on 200 towards Great Falls. I am wondering if this is still some of the back up from the wreck down on the Columbia!!!<br />

It was a long time coming but the trip up was easy compared to the trip back down, this is an 8% grade for 2 miles then we level out at 3800 feet, we topped this pass at 5600 feet.<br />

We had a great day and the drive up to Great Falls on 200 is a nice drive and little traffic.<br />
We made it to Dick's RV Park and are all set up.<br />

Trailer washed, sign up and books out now all we have to do tomorrow is explore the stores for the few things to finish off the meal here for the guest on the 15th.

It was a little bit cooler only made it to the low 100's. It wasn't a bad drive and made it to the park at Pier 4 Resort by noon. No mountains or pass to go over, so pretty easy drive, it was just over 120 mile drive. Get us ready for the long days to come.<br />
Today was a little bit different story, we left the park and headed east on I-90.<br />

It was a real easy drive to start with, the weather was good only in the 70's plus for the morning drive. The clouds looked great in the distance.<br />

We could tell that we just missed a good rain storm. I think this helped it stay a little cooler, but the humidity was a little higher.<br />

When we seen the trees I new we were getting close to Spokane. Got to like this traffic on this side of the pass. I set the cruse at 59 and just stay in the right lane and everyone is passing me at 70 plus, even the big trucks. We are in no hurry, so why drive 65 plus.<br />

Look we made it to Idaho, and no passes that we have had to go over yet. Wait our first one is just ahead called 4th of July Pass. And the heat is starting to build 80 plus already here out side of Spokane.<br />

What a view of Lake Couer d' Alane, this bridge gives you some great views of the lake. After this view we headed up over 4th of July Pass with out any problems. With the weight we are caring I am very impressed, we crested the pass at 4500 feet and no problems. <br />

Now Look Out Pass was a different story, we hit the bottom of the pass with a work zone and narrow roads at 45 MPH, So when we hit the 8% grade about 4 miles from the top I was down to 25 and taking my time. <br />

We made it to the top 4800 feet and now it is time to head down the other side, this time we have two lanes and I don't have to worry about people behind us and take our time going down the pass. It said the first 4 miles for all trucks 25 MPH, steep going up and down but a piece of cake. From the top to the 50,000 Dollar Bar & Restaurant, plus a small RV park it was only 16 miles. Just for some of you that are heading east of west on I-90 this is a nice park, 30 AMP, no water, no sewer, but it is free, can't beat that. One other thing the Restaurant puts out some great food and the price is pretty good.;<br />

We both had Chicken Fried Steak, with white gravy and mashed potatoes (real mashed potato's), along with a great green salad. The clouds are starting to build up and we heard a couple of claps of thunder, Turbo is hiding some where in here. Glad we have small coach and very few hiding spots. <br />
Tomorrow we drive just over 250 so we are building up our mileage slowly. I think after tomorrow we stop for a while and relax, just kidding we will be getting ready for our guest to show up for the start of our Alaska Trip, it will be great.Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-12586597957516194802016-06-06T19:19:00.003-07:002016-06-06T19:49:08.504-07:00Last Day in Walla WallaThis is our last day here, we are heading out tomorrow morning early before the heat hits, it is only going to be in the high 90's around here. We are heading to Moses Lake where it will be 100 by 4:00 PM. One more day of baking before the temp starts to fall a little bit.<br />
Today Nancy came and picked up Cyndy for a day of girl stuff. The first stop was getting a pedicure for them and Cyndy is a happy girl now.<br />

She said her feet thank me, I haven't figures out why here feet thank me, but Cyndy is happy and if MOM is HAPPY everyone is HAPPY. After they were done with that they headed out shopping, Jo-Ann, Dollar Tree and a few other shops. They were both smiling and it looked like they had a great time.<br />
What did I do today, worked on a few things for the Caravan, got some phone calls done, printed up stuff for guest. Took boys for a couple of walls, other than that I don't think I got to much done so no stress on this end, happy me.<br />

When they got back Cyndy got a picture of me and Nancy, we really enjoyed the time we spent with Gary and Nancy, it may be a while before we get back this way again. Tomorrow I am hoping to be out of here by around 8 or 8:30 AM so that we can get up to Moses Lake before it gets hot again. On the road again for 3 days straight!!! Then we get ready for our guest.

At 6:45 PM it is 100 Degrees, and starting to drop a little. We had another great day with Gary and Nancy with our first stop at the Farmers Market. Cyndy wanted to get some cherries, so she was all over the place sampling cherries.<br />

They say in the next few weeks this area will be a lot more packet with farm vendors. It only took us about 1/2 hour and we were on our way out. Next it was time to for lunch, you know we need to eat also. So today we went to La Casita Family Mexican Restaurant. We had a great lunch and great company. Cyndy & I had a great Taco Salad, and I can remember what Gary & Nancy had, they said theirs were good also. They come to this restaurant a lot and enjoy the food.<br />
Next stop was right across the hall to the Antique Mall. It is always fun walking through these malls and reflecting back in history of things we use to have when kids.<br />

The price they are asking for these things that when we were kids we use to take them out and shoot at them with a 22 rifle. I should of saved them after shooting them full of holes and they may of been worth more money, what do you think.<br />
After about and hour or so we head out to Whitman Mission National Historic Site. For 11 years, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman labored among the Cayuse Indians as missionaries, teachers, and pioneer on the American frontier. Oregon Trail emigrants streamed past the mission. A measles epidemic in 1847 led to violence, driving a few Cayuse to kill the Whitmans.<br />

Yep got Cyndy looking into the back of the modern covered wagon of the 1840's, this fine RV could take you all the way from St. Louis to the Oregon Coast in less than a year and carry all your life long belongings. And don't forget all the kids where in here to or walking along side the wagon.<br />

It was another nice day exploring Walla Walla and spending quality time with Nancy & Gary. We had a great time talking about the old days up at our Grandma's and Grandpa's place in Puyallup. I am looking forward to more time just visiting with them before we head out in a couple of days.Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-88891599803910122852016-06-03T20:42:00.001-07:002016-06-03T21:15:25.102-07:00Trip to Harris Park Today we spent some wonderful time with Gary & Nancy Lentz, we traveled to Harris Park in Umatilla County. OR. It is in the Blue Mountains. It was a little warm today only 89 degrees. When we got up to the park it was a little cooler. <br />
Gary wanted to check out the park, before doing some kind of presentations on Plants here in the park this summer. Anyway we walked around and scouted it out while the girls stayed in the car and talked. I think Cyndy was not wanting to get out and maybe seeing a snake. On our walk about we didn't even see one. Any way here is a few pictures of the park and Gary knows a lot about the different plants in the area and what is eatable and things you don't even want to get near. I took a few pictures while their.<br />

It was a long drive of just over 40 miles, but we made it with no problem. We were heading there so that Cyndy could get a little bit more training on her embroidery machine. Our good friends Dick & Rose have a nice little spot for us to stay at when in town and Cyndy is getting some more training. A friend of Rose's, Linda help Cyndy with a lot of stuff on her machine. Here is one of the patterns she was working on.<br />

This is another one of her little purses, nice!!!!<br />
Today we left Mineral, WA for the Legends Casino in Toppenish, WA, but when we got close to the campground we called to see if their was any room. We found that the phone had been discounted and the campground closed down. So we keep right on going and landed a day early in Walla Walla and the Blue Valley RV Park. It is a nice quiet park and we will be able to run the air for the boys and us. 50 AMP is great!!! Tomorrow we are going to meet up with one of my cousins, for a day of exploring the area.Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-31200617610602907622016-05-25T19:12:00.000-07:002016-05-25T19:16:12.315-07:00Counting down to LeavingWe are getting everything together for leaving this Sunday. We have been doing a lot of shopping for things that are hard to come by when we get up in Canada and cheaper here. We like to be able to buy a lot of things for our guest and make their money stretch as far as possible, and get them the best bang for our buck. We have a few meals to set up for, before we get to Fairbanks & Anchorage. We usually pick up more stuff there for the rest of the trip. <br />
Cyndy has been busy getting the meals all worked out and putting together there welcome packets for the start of the trip. The back area which she calls her sewing room is full of supplies for the trip. <br />

We start buying things in April when we find it on sale. The freezer is full for the first half of the trip, hope to have it down a little before I go Halibut Fishing. Don't know if I will get any Salmon this year, hope to get a few Sockeye if at all possible.<br />
I have been working on getting all the paperwork set up before we leave. I am just about ready now. I am hoping to start posting a little bit more when we start traveling again. Not much to say when we are setting here just visiting with the kids and relaxing taking care of doctor appointments. Now that all of that is behind us it is time to start moving again. As the saying goes I am getting the hitch itch and so is Cyndy so it is time to move before the roots can catch us.<br />

They ran into a little problem with the recall on the ceiling underneath the main air conditioner. It looks like it did before with out the sage in the center. They also took care of the recall on the ladder out side and fixed the wall paper by the door and gave Cyndy some extra. They also got the stove fixed so that now when we can light it with out using our matches. <br />

This is Thursday afternoon and they are bring our rig out of the shop. The guy on the forklift did a great job, after he got it out and set it down he asked how heavy and I said 18,000 plus. We were out of Gresham by 2:30 PM and made it back to Tacoma by about 6:00 PM. Traffic wasn't to bad and now we can start getting the last few things ready for Alaska.</div>

Friday Cyndy had a doctors appointment, her last one and then we went to get our new glasses. Cyndy said hers were a lot stronger, but working good. Mine was a different story. I new mine were a lot stronger, but when everything has a little haze on it there is something wrong. I really tried to make them work, but by the time I started working on the computer I had to put my old one s back on so that I could work on the computer. Tomorrow I am taking them back and seeing what they can do,</div>

Friday night I looked out side and seen this great sun set. It was suppose to rain today, but we got lucky and had know rain. But today was a different story, it has been a steady drizzle all day tell late this afternoon. We were up and on our way to Pearle Vision so that I could find out what they were going to do about my glasses. After the young lady compared my old ones to the new ones she said these are really to strong of a gap. You need to have your eye's rechecked so at 11:30 I was in having my eyes rechecked and we found out that they made a small error. Now comes the problem, they are hoping to get the glasses back by next Saturday, because next Sunday we head out for out trip to Great Falls, MT. They said they are hoping they will be back, so am I!!!!!</div>

As we were getting close to Randle we found this strange looking mountain, I believe it is Mt St Helen. It was a beautiful view, we have been using our phones for a long time taking pictures. Yesterday I found out 35 camera, dusted it off and thought it was time to start taking pictures with it again. I think it takes a lot better pictures.<br />

This was the back drop from the rodeo grounds where the celebrate the life of Hiram Mulrony was held. There were over 200 plus people here, he was well liked by the big rodeo organization and a lot of locales that grew up with him. <br />

As we crossed back over White Pass we got a great view of the existing Mountain Rainier in all her beauty.<br />
Today we left after Cyndy's last Doctors appointment, which everything is fine just one new prescription. So by 1:00 PM we were on the road towards Gresham, OR. We arrived about 5:00 PM. It was a nice slow drive and very little traffic until we hit Oregon, but not bad. We are here at Blue Dog for some Warranty work. It will take them 2 days to get it done, or a day in half. So tonight we are parked along side the road here at Blue Dog tell they open in the morning, we are hoping they get it done by noon Wednesday. They have been great in the pass, so we will wait and see. Tomorrow we will head down to Brian & Rita's and spend the night and visit with them one more time before we head out for our summer trip. <br />
Cyndy has been wanting some banana brad for a long time, so when we got here today she made 5 small loafs of banana bread.<br />

He passed away from cancer about a month ago and they are having a big memorial service at the Rodeo Fair Grounds. It seems like the only time we see everyone in this family: is family reunions, weddings, and Memorial Service. I hate to say it but it will be nice to see some of the family.<br />
Today was another busy doctor day, we have got all of them pretty well taken care. I think Cyndy has one or two more to go and we should be clear for our trip this next year. I have been cleared to travel and I know Cyndy will be also.<br />
The other day I went looking for Spike, he usually heads to his bed and hibernates there for most of the day. But today I looked and he wasn't their. Then I looked closer at our bed,<br />

I called him and he came up for air. It is amazing what the two of them will do.Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-72878079323152591362016-05-09T22:07:00.003-07:002016-05-09T22:07:42.229-07:0037 Days and CountingIt is hard to believe we are getting down to just about 30 days tell we start the Alaska trip. Both Cyndy & I are really kicking it up a notch, we always try to make this the best trip to Alaska. Cyndy has been busy getting all the meals planned that we will be putting on during this trip. It is hard for her because some of the meals she needs to pick up the food before we leave here. Maybe that is why our 5.5 freezer is so full. Just as long as it is getting empty by the time we get to Homer for all of the Halibut we will get. At least I can dream that I get a big one this year.<br />
I have been going over some of the road logs hoping to catch things before we start the trip. With working with the office girls I am hoping we got all the errors taken care of. You ask with a company that goes to Alaska every year the road log would be perfect by now, the only problem is that road get straighten out and Campgrounds close and we need to fine new ones. This is one of the things that happen this year, we moved a campground in Calgary which cause a little problem, but we now have that correct as best we can. <br />
This last week has been pretty good, I have made some more leveling boards. I got some 3/4 inch treated plywood and cut them 10 inch wide by 8 foot. Then laminated two piece together, which gives me a 1 half inch thick treated good board that will last a lot longer than a regular treated 2 by 10. The last set I made last almost 5 years, not bad. I got them painted to help keep the water out and they will last a lot longer.<br />
We even got the back of the trailer cleaned out and Cyndy is busy packing up her sewing stuff so that we have room for the caravan stuff. We have got just over twenty days before we start heading to Great Falls, for the start of our trip. Look out Alaska we are getting ready to go!!!Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-45343925041178328032016-05-04T19:45:00.000-07:002016-05-04T19:45:19.345-07:00Day in HistoryToday is a day I will never forget as long as I am alive.

It has been a lot of fun, with a lot of ups and downs, but all in all, I wouldn't trade her for the world. We spent our first three months of marriage in Berchtesgaden, Germany. After that we settled in Puyallup, Washington for the next 33 plus years. We both retired the first of November 2007, and have really been enjoying life to the fullest. So Cyndy after the first 42 years I am looking forward to the next 42, your the greatest~!!!!!<br />
Today we both went to the eye doctor, one of those things we forget about until we find ourselves having a little problem with focusing after read for an hour. So today we had our eyes checked and both of us are getting new glasses, now to just wait for them to get in. It use to be they would have them done in 2 to 3 days, now it is 10 to 14 days. With all of this modern day stuff, why is it taking so much longer. At least we will still be in the area when they are done.<br />
Oh yes I took her out to dinner .Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-84528643842505262822016-05-02T16:54:00.001-07:002016-05-02T16:54:32.154-07:00Another Hot Day in Western WashingtonThe last few days have been pretty nice, today it is suppose to get up to 84 plus. We just got back from the store and I am glad for the air in the truck, it is working good. I know because Cyndy was starting to get cold and put her sweater on. We got another great picture of the mountain this morning.<br />

As I stated in my last blog, I had my Belly Button Surgery last Tuesday. I was schedule to have my surgery at 8:30 AM on last Tuesday. I was in by 8:05 and out by 8:25 and on my way home by 9:30 AM. It didn't feel bad the first day, but the second day it felt like someone had punched me in the gut. Anyway I did what the doc said and just took it easy and didn't do much of anything this week. He said to take it easy for two weeks and no lifting over 20 LB which is driving me crazy, because I have a few things I want to get done before leaving and get back out and start walking again. I need to drop some of this weight I got back from this winter not getting out walking. So other than sitting in my chair and working on the computer for the Alaska trip, getting fishing trips set up and a few other things.<br />
This last weekend Cyndy went to a sewing class on embroidery sewing. She really enjoyed the class and had a lot of fun. Here are a few things she got done while there.<br />

They are laying right were the cool air is blowing down on them. As you have noticed I haven't been writing a lot on the blog the last few weeks. We are currently in Tacoma and just taking care of doc stuff before we head out again on another adventure. So as important things come up I will make a blog post, but as soon as we are on the road I will start posting more often. Hope your day is as good as mine.</div>

That's right, we have been doing a lot this last week. I had 3 doctor appointments, 3 different days, and Cyndy had 2 appointments on the other two days. So yes we were just a little busy this last week. I checked out OK, for the physical and then I had a Standard Exercise Stress Test to make sure the ticker was doing OK. Didn't do good on the first test so I had to go back for another one the next day and called a Imaging Stress Test and this time everything was working good. Now I can go in and get my Belly Button Hernia taken care of next Tuesday. Cyndy is going for her shoulder therapy, and it is getting better, something about a small rotary cup tear. Anyway we are working to make us a little healthier before heading to Alaska in less than 60 days.<br />
I also have been helping our nephew get his shop wired. The first inspection of the rough in was not good. We got everything fixed and now next week we should get him signing off on the electrical permit. That will make both of us happy because I leave in two to three weeks and will not be back tell next winter, so I want to have this project done before I leave.<br />
Today was a real LAZY DAY, it has been raining off and on all day long with some hail in between the rain storms that came through. We did have a few times when the sun came out and that is when the boy's and I went out for our walks. So far that has only happened 3 times and I don't know if we will get out again today, it is 8:05 PM and raining again.<br />
Cyndy has been making some of my favorite chocolate chip cookies today and boy were they good with that tall glass of milk. She also got her new Kindle Fire today and has been busy learning that. Myself I have been busy working on going through the Mile Post for Alaska and matching up the pages in this book to our road log so that the guest can find the pages a lot faster.<br />
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61p57He-7cL._SX383_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" /><br />
There are over 700 pages and it explains all the roads up to Alaska, around Alaska and back down to the lower 48. If everything goes good I should have it ready for Cyndy to review before I print it for the guest, I hate to have errors in something and have to ask them to fix it. Anyway I have just under 60 days to finish this and it should be ready. Here is what I am doing for them.<br />

If you notice some of the trip is going backwards in the book and some are going the right way, what ever that is. Any way it takes a little bite to get the route right because some of it is in the pages 400's then to finish the route you have to go to the 600's. Hope this makes it easier for the guest to use.<br />

It was a great drive from Long Beach with know problems. The water pump worked great this time, wait a minute I just put a new one in. It had better work good. On our way down to Long Beach the old water pump stopped working, so after checking it out I replaced it with a new one and it is working great.<br />
Sunday I fixed some of my famous Clam Chowder for the kids here. I can't believe we ate the hole thing, Janice & Decia had a bowl for lunch today. It was a good day, watched some NSCAR short track racing. Really enjoy this type of racing it brings out the great teams and when they make a mistake it can cost them the race. It can happen in the pits and on the track real fast. <br />
Today was doctor appointments, it seems like all we are doing this week in going to Doctors. But it is that time of year where we get our annual examines. So after this week things we hope it gets back to some what normal. Talk about not being normal, today it was hot.<br />

And for the 18th of April this is way to hot. It was 5:00 PM when I took a picture of our outside temp. Tomorrow it is only going to be in the low 80's. Shorts again tomorrow, maybe everyday from now on. I am tired of wear jeans so out comes the shorts.<br />

Well today was one of those days, I finally got up about 9:00 AM, which is late for me. Took the boys out for a walk and just as we got back it started to rain again, maybe today is a day to stay inside and enjoy the weather. About noon Cyndy wanted to go up to the craft store here in Long Beach. As we were coming back to the Park we went for a drive up to Beard Hollow Over look.<br />
Then we went to a drive up the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center.<br />

Just after we walked into the center it started to rain again. I am so looking forward to the clear days ahead of us. At least later today it is suppose to clear up. We have been through this just a few years ago so we went into the store and then headed out side to find that the sky's were clearing.<br />

We really had a great day driving around, then we looked at each other and off we went to MO's for clam chowder, We haven't been there yet so it was a good time to go. Not a bad day spent with the love of my life, I couldn't ask for a better day.Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-61186106123207357492016-04-12T19:03:00.001-07:002016-04-12T19:08:17.311-07:00Cyndy Finished Computer BagToday Cyndy finished the computer bag for our God Daughter. When she first started this about 4 plus weeks ago, it was going to be an easy project. I would not ask her to make another on for a long time. She called this her project from hell!!! So here goes the project from start to finish.<br />

This is what caused all the problem, every time she would sew a few strips on this bag it started to twist and not lay straight. So after a few time of taking it apart and re-sewing it she found out the problem.<br />

I like to make a sandwich spread, with equal parts of crab, cocktail sauce, and velveta cheese. I will put it on bread and toast it in the oven until all the cheese is melted. It is to die for!!!!<br />
Tomorrow we go back over to Seaside, OR for the boy's to get a couple of more shots, and all of their shots are up to date. Then to stop by Costco and the Cash & Cary to pick up some more stuff for the trip to Alaska. Other then that we are just vegging out here in Long Beach.Wilmer and Cyndy Olsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09247772301770905731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759581704554574042.post-44557948632281137632016-04-09T19:18:00.000-07:002016-04-09T19:18:53.496-07:00Clam DiggingFinally got everything done around the rig and the clam tides are great, so it is time to do a little bit of digging. Went out yesterday with Brian and it was a great dig. We were out for about 15 minutes and back at the truck heading back to the house. They were OK for size, but boy were they showing good. It took me longer to walk down to the surf and back to the truck then it did to dig the limit today. The size today were a little smaller then yesterdays clams, so I guess I go back up to the north end by Brian & Rita's place, instead of right here in Long Beach <br />

This is the size of today's clams, they are OK, but back when I was a kid these were small and we were able to dig 36 clams for a limit. So now to get to work and clean then and then we have some great clams for chowder and frying.<br />
Tomorrow I am planning a fishing trip with Brian. We are going Steal Head fishing on the Quinault River. Brian has found a great guide and from looking at his web site today he did pretty good. Hope to have some great pictures for tomorrow or the next day. It will be a long day, we are leaving here at 3:00 AM.<br />
