I realized that I have been photographing the wonderful sights across this amazing country but I haven't been photographing the wonderful people we have had the priviledge of meeting along the way. Cindy and Rick, a delightful couple that we met in Utah, Louise and David from Tennessee, a special couple we met in Arizona when they were there to visit a new grandbaby. Both of these couples have stayed in touch through e-mail. There was a picture of Lois and Mike that we met at Chinook Campground in Lincoln City, Oregon. There have been people we talked to in parking lots and rest areas when we noticed they were from Virginia, Georgia or Carolina. We chatted with people while floating in pools or shopping in the grocery stores. Every where we have been, there have been helpful, enthusiastic people wanting to make our trip easier or nicer or wanting us to be sure and not miss out on one attraction or another. So periodically this Happy Traveler will publish our new treasures and if somehow I miss someone, forgive me, you are in my data bank.
We met Janice and Ron at Tall Chiefs Campground in Fall City, Washington. They have two adorable little pups, CiCi (hope I spelled that right) and Honey. Ron was an angel and moved his car when we had to get into our spot, then he helped with the backup instructions which I seem to have a problem giving correctly. We spent some time just sitting around and chatting about camping, about children, about life on the road. They were a lot of fun.
Carole and Chuck were our next door neighbors in Moses Lake, WA. Chuck helped us get cable for the couple of days we were in the area (he had a splitter so we could use his box since our's wasn't working). He and Carole had us over to see their motor home which was really cute. They were so helpful in giving us information about Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin, possible destinations for next year's journey. They also gave us information about another camping organization to check into that offers a mail forwarding service and discounts at certain campgrounds.
Peggy and Bruce were the camp hosts at Riverwalk Campground in Coeur d'Alene. They were more than just the people who checked you in...Bruce helped us get into the site, gave me a tour of the laundry and bath facilities, gave me directions to the grocery store and sent us in the direction of a lovely restaurant for a memorable lunch. They both had a great sense of humor and made our stay here really special.
