Growing up in Oregon, the coast was a favorite destination for our families. And now that we full-time in our RV, we have made it a point to get back there in the summer and early fall when the weather can be ideal. The Oregon Coast is 363 miles long and all of its beautiful […]

YouTube Channel
We’ve added a new Away We Winnebago YouTube channel. We aren’t planning on Vlogging but will be posting short videos on the places we visit. Please check it out if you are bored. Here’s the first video on the awesome waterfalls of McDowell Creek here in Oregon:
Back to Pac City
The heat wave and smoke continued into September so we decided to make a break for the coast. We first booked Thousand Trails South Jetty but decided to go back to Pacific City after Kirk and Anya told us about some recent thefts at South Jetty. The beach here is a Crosby favorite and just […]
The Eclipse
Besides a trip up to Olympic National Park, this summer has been about hanging out with family in Oregon and the main event – the full eclipse on August 21. We stayed twice at the Bend-Sunriver Thousand Trails and got to meet up with RV friends who were also in Oregon for the eclipse. […]
Pacific City Thousand Trails
Pacific City Thousand Trails is one of our favorite campgrounds on the Oregon Coast. We met up with Kirk and Anya and spent a nice four days (7/10/-7/14/17). Last year the weather during our stay was in the 80’s but this year was cooler but still sunny which is great for the Oregon Coast. I […]
Harris Beach State Park
This is our third time camping at Harris Beach State Park in Brookings. We love the area and it’s a great state park. Well maintained and plenty of hookups sites available with the summer crowds gone. Unfortunately this has been one of the wettest Octobers on record. Oh well. Praise the lord and pass the […]
A Stormy South Jetty, Florence
We spent a foggy night in Eugene at the Valley River Mall parking lot enroute to Florence on the coast. Rain is what makes Oregon green and lovely but fall is usually fairly dry. This October seems to be the rainiest we can remember. The weather forecast called for a series of low pressure systems […]
Silver Falls State Park
Silver Falls State Park is a quick drive from Jaime’s family. The forecast called for a break in the rain so I drove over to take pictures of ther waterfalls and fall foliage. The rains had fired up the waterfalls but not knocked off the leaves yet. Great conditions. Cavern behind North Falls. Silver creek.
Belknap Springs
We moved down the road to Camp Yale at Belknap Springs to meet up with Jaime’s brother Jim and his wife Tami. The weather turned into a soggy Oregon mist but we still enjoyed our stay soaking in the hot spring fed pools. After Jim and Tami departed on Sunday, I put on my Gortex […]
Clear Lake and The McKenzie River
We had been wanting to get back up to the McKenzie River and camp for a while to enjoy all the area has to offer. Coming back to Oregon in June from spending most of our spring out in the deserts of California and Arizona this drive was an explosion of green. We found a […]
