Leavenworth TTN

 

As we move west, our next stop is the Thousand Trails Park at Leavenworth, WA.   Anyone been there knows it’s 14 miles outside Leavenworth in the Lake Wenatchee National Forest.  We got there early on Sunday since we only had 80 miles to drive that day.  Luck was with us and we were able to get full hookups and find satellite for Direct TV.  It gets harder and harder here in the Northwest.

Monday morning on my walk, I was able to take this picture. 

It was overcast so we decided to go to the ranger station (closed) and then just explore.

 

This is a view of Lake Wenatchee from a view point high above.

Some of the back roads were still closed.  They had more snow this year then ever.

 

 

 

Went to Los Companieros , a favorite Mexican restaurant in Leavenworth.  Decided just to do some more exploring and headed out Icicle Road, Hoping to get to a trail called Icicle Gorge, but construction stopped us at the Trailhead for the July Fourth.  OK, we were there, and ready to hike, so out we go.  Of Course, we were only going about one mile, to a viewpoint.  Somehow ended up almost two miles in two hours.  It only took us one hour to get back down.  Went up about 1500 ft. in that two miles.  Beautiful wild flowers every where and great views.

Fiji- A Great Getaway

Image
  On Saturday morning Dec 3rd, we arrived at the Fiji airport.  It was only 5:30 am, but they still had a Band to greet us.  We had to wait until 7:00 for the grocery stores to open, the the Malolo Cat office that would be transporting us to the island of Malolo Lei Lei to our resort, the Malolo Lei Lei Lagoon Resort was open Rosa welcomed us with a flower for my hair.       After a trip to the grocery and to see the town of Nadi, we boarded a bus to the Marina to disembark to our island vacation. The Malolo Cat II took us for the hour trip to the island.     First view of our home for the week.   It was everything Bob and I wanted, no phone, no inter-net, and no TV.  As a matter of fact, there wasn’t even a microwave.  (we could have had inter-net at $5 for 30 minutes, but we opted not to even get on)  The computer was strictly to save pictures.  and that we did!!!! The beauty has to be seen, not described.  It was early Saturday when we got to the resort and we couldn

Break Down

This will bring the travels up to date with a Bummer of a breakdown. After playing on Sunday morning with Tom and Becky and their son-in-law, we headed out. We were actually going to stay in a RV Park, the RPI on Wellsby Island in the middle of the St. Lawrence. Going through Fulton, we heard a crunch and a loud clanking. We pulled over and saw nothing, so headed out again. Too much noise, so decided not to chance it. Called CoachNet to arrange a tow. Spent one night in the Valero Gas Station parking lot. On Monday morning we were towed to Camping World in Syracuse, NY. One week later, we're still here, camping in their parking lot, waiting on a new rear-end. Luckily, there's water and a dump within hose length. Here's the problem child. A rear end problem.

April Family Fun

Image
  Winter’s gone and the seasons over.  We got to Happy Trails at the end of October and immediately started with tournaments. Not playing just working.  In December, we took our annual trip for a beach and snorkel fix.  Then back for more tournaments.  I had back surgery on Dec. 17th, so no pickleball for me the rest of the season.  In April, my big brother Jim Richardson, my Sister, Gladys and Husband, Denny Houghton, and my Sister, Anita and her husband, Stan Kubin cam to visit me.  We normally meet somewhere in May for an annual get together.  This year it was April and at my place.  Dom and Sue were nice enough to move their rig and Gladys and Denny  parked on their lot right next to us so that we could all be together.  Bob and I moved into our RV the night before they arrived since we were headed out after they left.  Picked Jim up at the airport on Thursday, April 18th.  We stopped for lunch/dinner at our favorite Mexican Food restaurant and headed home to welcome Anita and S
