Honey Motorhome

We bought a new motorhome!

1988 Honey Class C, 27'

It needs some love, but will be much easier for camping when Dianne wants to take the kids without Eric.

We have plans to rebuild parts of it, such as putting in bunks in the back.

Deschutes River Recreation Area

July 24-25, 2010

Deschutes River State Recreation Area, Oregon

Who: Eric, Dianne, Joshua, Nora, Ali, Matthew, the Jensen's

Joshua loved the swimming hole.  Hookup sites are very small.  The trailer fit, but not sure a motorhome would. 

Our friends brought their boat and we had fun going out on the river. 

Steamboat Rock State Park

June 21-24, 2010

Who: Dianne,  Joshua, Nora, Ali, Hannah

Really nice park. Excellent swimming both in the river and at the official swimming area. Great playground, but it's a super long walk from many of the sites.  We drove to the playground each time.  Dianne's first time backing up the trailer - did a pretty good job!

Near Grand Coulee Dam which was fun to visit. 

Riverside State Park

August 21-24, 2009

Riverside State Park, Spokane

Who: Eric, Dianne, Joshua, Nora, Courtney, Alexander, Anthony 

The campground was not altogether that exciting, but we did have a nice time driving around Spokane.  The park is difficult to get to on surface roads and has a very long entrance road. 

This trip will always be remembered as Dianne got a $1200 ticket for speeding and failure to yield - on that long entrance road. 

American Heritage Campground

August 15-17, 2008

American Heritage Campground, Olympia, Site #29

Who: Eric, Dianne, Joshua, Nora and our new church - Our Savior's Baptist

Nice campground, like a state park only nicer.  Free showers, large field, bike track (the kids loved it) and a swimming pool.  Also, a small farm with goats, chickens and ducks. 

It was super hot on Friday and Saturday, in the 90's, but poured rain and thunder and lightening overnight Saturday.  Cleared up again Sunday morning. 

Stopped at Cabela's on the way home.  Cool store!

 

Camano Island State Park

July 21-23, 2007

Site #48

Who: Eric, Dianne, Joshua, Nora

Great campground with decently space sites. No hookups.  Beach is pebbly but very nice. 

Very steep hike back up to the campsite, so we drove.  The weather was a bit drippy, but only rained at night.

On Sunday, we went to an event for Dianne's 25th High School Reunion at Lisa Simpson Anderson's cabin.  It was the reason we camped on Camano and was a great break from being by ourselves the whole time. 

 

Cougar Rock

September 1-4, 2006
Cougar Rock Campground, Mt. Rainier, Site #C22

Who: Eric, Dianne, Joshua, Nora, Julie & Keith and lots of their friends were at several nearby sites.

Gorgeous campground! Sites are very well wooded and separated from each other.  The weather was hot and sunny (rained at night) so the shade was much appreciated.

We went for hikes in the mornings and had visitors (Elsa & Nora, the Priddis's) in the afternoons.

We drove in the back way via Hwy 410.  While more scenic, the road is longer and very winding.  We will only go that way again if going to Ohanapecosh.
