Wednesday, September 25th-A Rocktopus?

Today we explored the piers and downtown areas of Port Angeles. Here’s a pic of Diana with her new friend, Rocktopus, at the Olympic Marine Center:

Welcome to Mike and Diana Griffith's RV Life Blog!

Welcome to our new blog! We invite you to follow us as we travel throughout the USA and Canada in our Durango fifth-wheel. We'll be sharing the highlights and pictures of our travels on this blog.  Rather than retiring in the usual sense, here is a short summary of our retirement plans:  We've already sold our home in Kingwood, TX.  We currently live in our RV in an RV Park North of Kingwood. This means we went from 2560 SF to 335 SF! Now THAT was a real challenge! We'll be updating this blog about the RV in the future.  We plan to leave here about the middle of May. We're going to the Dallas area to see our daughter and her family for a while. Then North to ALASKA! We will probably spend 3-4 weeks getting there because 1) we're retired and 2) we want to go to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and a few National Parks in Utah and Montana on the way. After exploring Alaska, we'll be headed back to Banff and Jasper National Parks in the Canadian Rockies. We

Saturday, October 26-Good News and Bad News About Lake Tahoe!

Image
We got to Lake Tahoe about dark-30 on Friday night. We drove through Truckee (on the CA side) down to the lake and then around the Nevada side to Zephyr Cove RV Park. We’re about four miles North of Stateline. First the good news: Lake Tahoe is a gift! The water is almost as blue as the water in Crater Lake but LT is much bigger. The lake is roughly rectangular with the dimensions being roughly ten by twenty miles. Everyone who has ever been here has a favorite part of the lake. The favorite part of LT for Diana and I has always been the area around Emerald Bay. Here are a couple of pics: Now for the bad news: I took a pretty nasty fall. I’m okay but here’s a quick summary: I have a broken right thumb and the orthopedic surgeon put a pin in it, with a couple of stitches, so it will heal correctly. My left knee has a hairline fracture so it’s immobilized with a flexbrace. Several stitches in my head and that pretty much does it. Look at the rocks at the bottom of the lower pic

Nov 26 (Thanksgiving) & 27, 2020-This Canyon IS Grand!

Image
We’ve spent the last two days on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Here are several quotes found about the Grand Canyon: “There will never be a photograph of the Grand Canyon that can adequately describe its depth, breadth, and true beauty.”                                                         -Stefanie Payne “In the supreme flaming glory of a sunset the whole canyon is transfigured as if the light and life of centuries of sunshine stored up in the rocks was now bringing forth as one glorious fountain, flooding both the earth and sky.”                                                                 -John Muir On May 6, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt saw the Grand Canyon for the first time and he was speechless. After gathering himself, he said “Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it; not a bit. The ages have been at work in it, and man can only mar it.” About 4.5 years later, on Jan 11, 1908, he said “The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison! Beyond desc
