George had it right ... Summertime, and the livin' is easy! Especially in a truck camper. Well, we've visited a few spots and we've seen a few things in the Pacific Northwest, and here's an overview of our TC summer. Start with breakfast in the empty campground at Fort Spokane (using the 'ol cordless toaster).
Then move on up to the native lands for a hidden beach, in a hidden campground.
Now this is at the start of the season, but both places were empty! As summer warmed up, we headed to the mountains - Schweitzer in Idaho. A great place to decompress, and it's free too.
Then down to Nampa for some rock crawlin' ... and yes, accidents do happen!
After all that excitement, maybe a reprise on the Columbia River ... down some back country roads to Marcus Island.
Gotta love the PNW and the variety of creatures that populate the west ...
... and the little lake retreats where ya'll can escape the sultry heat ...
... or take a hike down the mountainside. Actually, that was a little longer hike than we had planned!
We got to visit friends who do amazing works of art ... practical art ...
... art that's useful for Christmas presents (I wish I had woodworking skills!)...
... while we ended up on highways(?) that only a GPS would choose ...
... we still got to finish another summer day.
Yup ... the livin' is easy. The above pics are a sample of our summer so far, there's lots more detail if you're interested at our blog, here.

I'm always amazed at so many places where there are hardly any other campers.
This site, a National Recreation site has only 9 sites, a boat launch, and is on Lake Roosevelt ... and had only 1 other camper (another TC, by the way). So imagine what many of the back road locations are like - they're empty. Very nice!
I think I recognize that place. ๐
ive enjoyed seeing all your blog reports. you have been busy posting them here lately. I wondered where all the reports were during the summer.
thanks for sharing.
