We stopped at Grand Coulee Dam on the way North to the Canadian border.

Irrigated crops along the Okanagan River in the Okanagan valley in Washington.

The next morning we crossed the border into Canada.


These are views of the Okanagan River on the Canadian side.


Beautiful views of the Okanagan valley along the way. We definitely watched for snakes as we walked this area.

Beautiful lake front camping on Kokanee Bay.

Big sky country and snow on the mountain peaks.

We drove up and over the mountains but fortunately we didn’t have to drive up far enough to get into the snow at the peaks.

Crossing into Pacific time zone as we entered Idaho.


Beautiful views passing through the mountains.

The Bad Lands got its name from the first natives to cross this area…they said the land was bad to cross. Very little grows inside the Bad Lands. Out side the Bad Lands are grasslands where buffalo, prairie dogs and other animals live off of the land.

January 2024 heading to the Bahamas.



Sailing in the Bahamas January to March 2024.

We purchased a house in Elizabeth City NC in June 2024. We passed through EC twice a year on our boat and found Harbor Presbyterian Church (PCA). They are a warm welcoming body of believers that we came to love along with the teaching and decided to move to EC for the church. We love the town and waterfront area along with all the outdoor activities. AND it’s 45 minutes from the beach at the Outer Banks which is a BIG attraction for grands!
