As I said, we're at Columbia Riverfront RV Park for a few days this week. We've stayed here once before and it's a pretty park with nice views of the river from the waterfront spots, lots of nice amenties, clean, well taken care of, but it's got a weird vibe.…

We are now at the Columbia Riverfront RV Park, near Woodland, WA. We'll still be able to watch ships from here, but with full hookups and cable tv (which is important because Breaking Bad Season 5 premieres tonight). We've been using this great site marinetraffic.com to see which ships are…

This sign was on the trail we took out to the beach and we both thought it was a little funny. Whoa!! Careful! This is a curvy trail! (I'm guessing this might be for horses? But It still made us laugh.) Before leaving Bullards Beach (checkout time there is 1pm!)…
