Sherman County Historical Museum in Moro, Oregon
“We took a walk on the rural side” in Moro, Oregon. (Apologies to Lou Reed.) The Sherman County Historical Museum is full of artifacts (many donated by local families) showcasing the County’s history and community. Sherman County was created in 1889. Homesteaders arrived by wagon, stage coach and steam boat. The county’s population peaked in…

Mount St. Helens Visitor Center in Castle Rock, WA
Lawetlat’la, also known as Mount St. Helens, erupted on May 18, 1980 at 8:32 AM local time. It had been 123 years since its last eruption and the scale of the event was immense. The blast flattened or scorched 230 sq. miles of forest, altered 27 lakes and displaced 3.4 billion yards of the mountaintop.…

T-Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, SK
So why visit Eastend, Saskatchewan, pop. 607? First, it was a convenient stop on our way to Montana, second it’s very close to the site of the largest complete T-Rex dinosaur excavated-to-date. Both were important reasons to visit! Back when planning this trip, we identified the T-Rex Discovery Centre, a Royal Saskatchewan Museum, as a…

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Heritage Centre in Regina, SK
We are still in Regina visiting museums in the capital city of Saskatchewan. Today we are visiting the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Heritage Center. The modern day Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is equivalent to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation. The RCMP’s formation is a complicated story primarily due to the complex way…

Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina, SK
It’s not often that a border crossing agent provides sightseeing guidance, but this museum was recommended to us as we crossed into Canada at Portal, ND. In response to the customary border crossing question ‘Where are you planning to visit?”, we told the Customs agent that we were heading to the T-Rex Discovery Center in…

Baseball Bats and Bourbon
Here it is late February 2026, and we are almost finished writing travel blogs for our 2025 journeys. We have one more location to share after this and updates to a few other posts so the site will not go completely dormant. Since we plan to leave for our first trip of the 2026 season…

Mammoth Cave- NOT!
RV travel requires rolling with the punches. During this trip, despite our best laid plans (and having the required reservations), we needed to change course when Mammoth Cave National Park closed due to the federal shutdown. We were so looking forward to visiting the cave – a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve –…

pə-DOO-kə, Kentucky Part 1
We were both excited to visit Paducah (pə-DOO-kə). Neither of us had ever been to this part of Kentucky before and Paducah was on our travel route to a few Harvest Hosts along the Bourbon Trail. The town’s name intrigued us. That’s one of the great advantages of RV travel—visiting all the locations “in-between” our…

Fine Art and BBQ
We love and feel enriched by all the places our RV travels have taken us. One place in particular is The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art located in Bentonville, Arkansas. The Museum was established by Alice Walton, American billionaire and heiress to the fortune of Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart and Sam’s Club. The…

Fallingwater
In late September, we started on a trip that would eventually take us to the East and West Coast Pleasureway Owners meet up in Branson, Mo. We attended this same rally two years ago. As with most of our trips, we meandered through a number of states visiting relatives and checking out interesting places along…
