Days #235-238 of Our Epic Trip

H: 100ºF L: 63ºF
Bruneau Dunes State Park, Bruneau, Idaho

We really needed a down day so we stayed in the camper all day. It was super hot today. We did work with an insurance agent, Shelli Dodson, at Sequatchie Valley Insurance LLC to get better rates on our car and camper insurance. And, wow, we got much better rates going with Erie Insurance. They only operate in mid- to south-eastern states but they have great reviews and are worth it if you are in their area of operation.

We decided to have a light but adventurous day. We found some things on Google map nearby that looked like they were worth checking out. We started by driving out to the middle of nowhere to the Bruneau Canyon Overlook. We drove miles of dirt roads and had a confused GPS but it was worth the effort to see this beautiful canyon with a roaring river.

Next we went to Shoofly Oolite, also out in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road. According to signs at the site: Oolite is sedimentary limestone composed of tiny ooids, which form when calcium carbonate precipitates in concentric layers around individual grains of sand. Wave action washed the oolites back and forth in the shallows of Lake Idaho. The Shoofly Oolite is one of the largest freshwater lakebed oolites known in the world.

It was really hot so we didn’t hike all the way up to the formations but we enjoyed our walk.

Bruneau Dunes State Park, Bruneau, Idaho

We stayed at camper most of the day. We recently got a steamer basket to go in our pressure cookers and we love it! It makes steaming veggies so quick and easy while preserving their nutritional value. Daniel said they are the best steamed veggies he’s ever had. I use the method recommended by Michael Greger, MD on nutritionfacts.org.

Bruneau Dunes State Park, Bruneau, Idaho

We drove to Boise, ID to do some exploring. We had a storm move past us over the valley while the sun was still shining. Everything had a golden hue.

We stopped at a potato hotel. Dolly the cow was the greeter. We found a treat dispenser full of sweet feed so she was eager to come see us and get her treat. The potato hotel traveled around the country before being retired in a field outside of Boise. It’s actually really cute on the inside. See pictures at the Airbnb listing.

Freak Alley Gallery was a cool and relatively clean alleyway full of graffiti art.

We stopped at High Note Cafe for a drink and nachos. We had heard that Boise is a great city and we agree. It was clean, vibrant, friendly, and very active for a Wednesday afternoon. Activity opportunities abound in and outside the city.

Shady Grove Campground, Seibert, Colorado

We have been able to get some Amazon packages delivered at our current campground. Since meeting Daniel and retiring, I have really enjoyed being a housewife. Cooking, cleaning, organizing, decorating – I love all of it. It feels good to take care of my family and Daniel is so appreciative of everything I do. I’m enthralled with 1950s housekeeping. So I have been on the hunt for a vintage half apron. Aprons are great for wiping wet hands and the pockets are so helpful for holding your cell phone, clothes pins, recipe cards, timers, etc. Unfortunately, all the vintage aprons I’ve found have seemed too delicate for daily use and I fear they won’t hold up in the laundry. So I have settled for a cotton apron with big pockets from Amazon. I love it! It’s a lightweight material which dries fast and won’t make you extra hot.

Happy Vegan Campers apron — I love this apron!!

We decided to check out Burlington, CO. It’s just a small town with an old 1909 carousel. In 1987, it was designated a National Historic Landmark. The carousel wasn’t open when we visited but we did look through some windows at some of the hand carved animals. The animals are stationary (they don’t go up and down) but the carousel spins at 12 mph rather than the typical 8 mph. It also has a Wurlitzer organ with 255 pipes and other instruments played by music rolls. Next, we walked around downtown and found a cute store which makes personal care items using essential oils.

We also got some news on our car. Tesla diagnosed the problem: the high voltage battery needs to be replaced and, luckily, the battery is under warranty until 2027.

We stayed at our camper today. I made Whole Wheat Bread and almond milk. I tried using a loaf pan for the bread instead of the Lekue Silicone Bread Maker and Daniel liked it even better.

We drove one hour into Kansas to go grocery shopping at Walmart. The area where we are staying is pretty desolate.

We had a nice, relaxing Memorial Day and cooked great food.

We also took the boys for a walk.

We went to get some things out of our car today. Our clothes washer has been sorely missed.

We stopped at Paint Mines Interpretive Park. The park was ok but seeing the storm roll in was great.

After getting things out of our car, we traveled around Colorado Springs. We noticed a large homeless population and some cool art installations. I especially liked the mosaic pumpkin.

Next we went to the Garden of the Gods. It’s a beautiful area with paved walking trails. This area was donated to the city of Colorado Spings by the family of Charles Elliott Perkins in 1909 on the stipulation that admission is always free for visitors. We saw some mountain goats while driving around the park but I didn’t get a picture.

The drive home during the evening was beautiful. It seems storms roll in every afternoon.

Epic Trip Details

We are a vegan family consisting of a retired couple, Daniel and Kristin, and two plant-based dogs, Peter and Marcel. We have dreamt of this trip for a while and it is now reality! Yay! Below we share information on our camper and the modifications we’ve made to it, our tow vehicles, and the memberships and websites/apps we find helpful.

Camper

2021 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 17JG

We decided to get a camper with bunk beds so we could convert them to storage. Some of the modifications we have done include:

Added cube storage to front half of bunk beds near kitchen which serve as a pantry.
Cut hole in bathroom wall to make a closet using back half of bunk beds and added a large mirror on closet door. This required the black tank vent to be re-routed.
Cut a hole in bottom bunk in closet area for a laundry shoot.
Removed small beverage refrigerator from outside “kitchen” area and built a shelf to hold our induction hot plate. This area also holds our oven.
Removed headboard and replaced mattress with memory foam mattress.

Happy Vegan Campers modifications to Cherokee Wolf Pup 17JG

Tips: We have found several things helpful for our camper.

We use a pipe insulation cover (similar to a pool noodle) to hold the glass microwave plate in place during travel.
We use a pipe insulation cover on our refrigerator door latch so the door doesn’t open during travel. Update: We found the refrigerator door would still open slightly while traveling so we made a wooden latch at a campground which had a wood shop. A pool noodle might work better too since it is bigger in diameter.
We covered most of the lower inside part of our screen door with plexiglass so the dogs wouldn’t destroy the screen by scratching it.

Happy Vegan Campers tips for campers or RVs

Here’s a video of our camper modifications:

Tow Vehicle

2019 Tesla Model X

The car comes standard with a towing package. It has a towing capacity of 4990 lbs.
The car came with free Super Charging for life at Tesla chargers.

We are frequently asked how well the Tesla pulls the camper. It pulls it extremely well. Pulling a camper does shorten the range down to about 100 miles but this works out for us because someone (Marcel) needs a frequent potty break.

2024 Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series

The truck has a towing capacity of 11,000 lbs.

We ordered the Cybertruck in June 2024 and took delivery on September 5th. This is our new tow vehicle but we will still use the Model X to explore as we have free supercharging. We get a range of about 160 miles while pulling the camper. Same as the Model X, the Cybertruck pulls the camper extremely well. No problems with steep grades.

Apps, Websites and Memberships

This will be an ongoing process to find the best apps, websites and memberships for finding campsites and activities. We will update as we learn more.

iOverlander app or website: So far this app has been useful in finding places to stay for a night. It is crowdsourced so it’s best to double check the info with a quick phone call. Free
Thousand Trails: This is a membership which has different packages. We purchased a membership with the Trails Collection and 3 zones. It allows you to camp for free at their campgrounds. Our package allows us to camp continuously for 4 days campground to campground or camp for two weeks and take one week off before staying at their campgrounds again. If we stay at Thousand Trails campgrounds for two weeks every month, it will more than cover the cost of membership. $1029.90
Update: After the first year, we upgraded to the 4 year Journey membership which allows us to camp for 3 weeks without taking the week off in between campgrounds. $6800 total for four years
Use “490100192” as a referral code and you’ll get $55-155 off your membership.
Passport America: This membership gives us half off the regular camping fee at participating campgrounds. We got a Black Friday deal so it was a no brainer for us. $22
Udate: We did not renew this membership after the first year as it wasn’t all that useful.
Resort Parks International: This membership gives us a discount on camping at participating campgrounds. The nightly fee will vary from campground to campground but is generally around $10. Since Thousand Trails mostly has campgrounds on the coasts, we needed options for less expensive camping in central states. RPI is purchased through campgrounds (or is a part of your Thousand Trails membership) so Daniel called several and the prices ranged from $4000+ to the option we chose. We purchased our RPI through Big Buck Resort and Campground in Tennessee. $362.25
Update: We signed up for an additional 2 years. $240
Bureau of Land Management: You can disperse camp on most BLM land for free for 14 days. After 14 days you must move to another site outside of a 25 mile radius of the first site. A map of BLM land is helpful. Note: Some areas may have “no camping” or “no overnight parking” signs. If so, don’t camp there.
Good Sam Roadside Assistance: We’ve had three breakdowns; two of them have required a tow. We were fortunate to have Good Sam for the second tow as they covered $1000 to tow our car 180 miles.
Happy Cow: Great website and app which lists vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants and stores all over the world. Free
Atlas Obscura: This is the app we use to find the quirky and obscure things we see and do. Free

Days #620-626 of Our Epic Trip

7-14-2025
H: 93ºF L: 70ºF
Thousand Trails Crescent Bar, Quincy, Washington

We went to Hutchinson-Shiner Lakes Water Trail in Othello, WA and let the boys run. Marcel was the first to go in the water! Usually he follows Peter in but it seems he has gotten over his fear and maybe even enjoys water now. After running through the water, he got some major zoomies.

We stopped at Drumheller Channels, a National Natural Landmark, near Othello, WA where the Ice Age Mega Floods covered the area in water and carved channels in the land. The water flooded this area because it was backed up getting through Wallula Gap where the water was a depth of 1200 feet. I think they should continue free education throughout a person’s lifetime. I was not interested in history or geology (except for collecting pretty rocks) when I was a kid but I think this stuff is so cool now.

We drove to Washtucna, WA and saw a wildfire in a wheat field. It was moving fast and made a loud sizzling sound. Daniel got a video while I took pictures and then we zoomed out of there. There weren’t any responders on site so we called 911 but found the 911 operator to not be overly concerned with this fire destroying a crop.

We went to another Mega Flood site: Palouse Falls State Park in LaCrosse, WA. There was actually water flowing here and really cool magma formations.

Driving back through Washtucna, we saw beautiful horses and a graffitied bus (thatnwbus).

It was cool enough last night that we slept with the windows open. I love sleeping with the windows open and I think it’s genetic. My paternal grandmother, a tiny Canadian woman, slept with her bedroom window open even during the winter. She’d have snow piled on the window sill and maybe the floor but she didn’t care. After my grandfather passed, he came to her in a dream and she was convinced that he came through the window. After that she always left the window open for him.

We had coffee time outside with a nice, cool breeze. Our neighbor’s rig provided shade so we stayed outside until the sun forced us inside.

We went to Wenatchee, WA to pick up some Amazon packages and get groceries. We followed Columbia river during our drive and passed by Rock Island Dam. Wenatchee is a bigger town but we didn’t find much to do. We drove through downtown and did see a cool sign for a liquor store: Wally’s House of Booze. We had a dog named Wally and, if he had been a human, he might have had a house of booze.

We tried having coffee in the hot tub this morning but the gate was locked and there was a sign that the hot tub had been shut down by the state. Now, having been to many campgrounds and seen many signs warning people not to go in the pool or hot tub if they have active diarrhea, I’m convinced it was diarrhea that shut this hot tub down.

We stayed home did a lot of nothing but did try out a new new clothes washer. It’s pretty much a collapsable bucket with an agitator. We found it to be lacking in effectiveness and will return it.

Boondocking, Fishtrap Lake, BLM Land, Sprague, Washington

We drove to Sprague, WA where we will be boondocking for two night. The small town has a ton of old cars and trucks. They’re all over so it seems like a town-wide hobby to collect old cars.

We explored Spokane, WA and drove around for a while. We drove past this coffee shop with a giant British phone booth for an entrance.

Next we spent two hours at the Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane. First stop was the Garbage Goat. This is the best example of functional art I have ever seen. It was created by Sister Paula Mary Turnbull, a Catholic nun also known as the “welding nun”. This goat has been gobbling up garbage ever since the 1974 World’s Fair in Spokane.

We saw the World’s Largest Radio Flyer Wagon. There were too many kids there, otherwise, I would have tried out that slide.

The U.S. Pavilion was pretty neat and was originally built for the 1974 World’s Fair.

We enjoyed the Spokane Falls which were formed by the Ice Age Mega Floods. Those floods made some cool stuff!

The Monroe Street Bridge was really pretty.

We traveled east and are staying at a campground right on the Washington-Idaho border. Literally, a couple campsites are in Idaho. We arrived just in time to witness (and hear!) boat races on the river. These very loud little boats raced in circles right in front of the campground.

We stayed the night in a Bass Pro Shop parking lot. It was pretty quiet. Across the street is a restaurant supply store that we are excited to check out tomorrow before we leave.

We went to the restaurant supply store and got a 25 pound bag of chickpeas! It was a great price.

We are staying on Crescent Bar in Washington at a resort right on Columbia River. Since it was so hot when we arrived at our new campground, we stayed inside the camper after getting set up. After dinner, Daniel and I took a walk by the river. We saw rabbits frolicking and watched the sun set.

H: 86ºF L: 66ºF
Thousand Trails Crescent Bar, Quincy, Washington

We drove around the area and noticed the giant water current ripples in the land across the river. This area was part of the Mega Floods which occurred during the last Ice Age. We just recently learned about this gigantic flood from a PBS video and we were excited to spot the resulting landscape. This area of Washington is known as the Channeled Scablands because the flood washed away all the topsoil right down to the bedrock and made a lot of the area unfavorable for farming.

After dinner, we took the boys for a walk and they got to run off-leash on the beach. The clouds were a beautiful fluffy pink for a short time. I only got one picture before they changed color.

We stayed home most of the day. We went into the town of Quincy, WA to do some grocery shopping at Akins Fresh Market. We found some really good Brussels sprouts – they were huge! The grocery store also had a huge, fully automated bread making machine. We’ve never seen anything like it.

H: 91ºF L: 63ºF
Thousand Trails Crescent Bar, Quincy, Washington

We went to Dry Falls in Coulee City, WA. We just happened to stumble upon the story of the Mega Floods while I was scrolling through videos (see above) on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. And now we’re here! We spent some time in the visitor center looking at their displays and getting more information from an enthusiastic park ranger.

We learned that J Harlem Bretz (1882-1981) originally proposed the theory of a giant flood causing the erosion seen in the Channeled Scablands rather than it being normal stream erosion and he spent 40 years researching the geologic evidence. He found a lot of evidence suggesting multiple mega floods but couldn’t find the water source. It wasn’t until geologist Joseph Pardee found evidence of the glacial Lake Missoula in Montana that the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. It took a long time for the scientific community to come around the idea of a mega flood. In 1979, Bretz was awarded the Penrose Medal which “honors eminent research in pure geology” [source].

The floods happened during the last Ice Age (15,000-18,000 years ago) and occurred every 40-150 years as the glacial ice dam melted and ruptured over and over again. It only took two weeks for all the lake water to go from Missoula, MT (water source) to Astoria, OR (water entered ocean). The volume of water is estimated to have been equivalent to all the earth’s rivers times ten. The water raced at 50-70 miles per hour.

Dry Falls was once the world’s largest waterfall. Originally, Dry Falls was 20 miles downstream from its currently location but receded upstream due to erosion. Imagine water flowing over these cliffs (pictured). Where we stood on the cliffs would have been covered by hundreds of feet of water. Wow! We think it’s so cool that people can look at the land and figure out this type of stuff.

On the way home we took back country roads and passed by a lot of wheat fields. It was really pretty.

Daniel pointed out that these hot summer areas in the west are like Michigan winters – you stay indoors because the weather prevents a lot of outdoor activities. We’ve spent a lot of time inside or trying to stay in the shade.

Nevada Campground Reviews

Carson Valley RV Resort

Minden, NV • ⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full hookup

We stayed at this campground for 7 nights. We stayed in campsite 5 and paid $54.24 per night. The campground is owned by the casino next door so campers have access to hotel amenities. There is access with a key card to the pool and hot tub on the second floor of the casino hotel. The sites are very small it may be hard to maneuver a big rig into a lot of the sites. Oct 2024)

Thousand Trails Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NV • ⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full hookup

We stayed at this campground for 10 nights and paid $0 as Thousand Trails members. We were in site 19. The sites are small and ours was even smaller because there was a fire hydrant taking up part of the site. Luckily, an empty space was available for parking next to us. The campground is in a bad neighborhood but it is completely enclosed by a fence and the staff monitor the campground pretty closely. I even saw staff driving their rounds at 3am. My husband and I felt safe in the campground. During our stay the pool was closed and the dog park fence was falling apart and reinforced with sheets of wood. (May 2025)

H: 78ºF L: 57ºF
Mt. Hood Village Campground, Welches, Oregon

We decided to go see all the waterfalls along Columbia River east of Portland. Our first stop was to get a free parking pass for Multnomah Falls at Gateway to the Gorge Visitor Center in Troutdale, OR. There is a parking lot in the median of US-84 but, between the hours of 9am-6pm during the summer months, you can’t park there and see the falls unless you have a pass. We took Historic Columbia River Highway 30 and found some beautiful views, small hikes, and many waterfalls. Our first stops on this road were Portland Women’s Forum Overlook and Crown Point Vista House, which is a rest stop.

Next we stopped at Latourell Falls which required just a short hike. I love the old cement bridges covered in moss and leichen that we drove over and hiked next to.

Next we went to Shepperd’s Dell Falls which required another very short hike. It was hard to see the full waterfall all at once but the view at the end of the trail was so pretty with the sunlight bouncing off the water. There was also a really cool, really huge rock near where we parked.

Next was Bridal Veil Falls with a 1926 lodge across the street. This waterfall required a longer hike to view and the return hike to the parking lot was mostly uphill. We saw a gorgeous butterfly feeding on flowers.

We stopped at Horsetail Falls which was right next to the road and didn’t require any hiking. There was a larger pool at the bottom with many people cooling off in the water. I liked this waterfall because it had a fallen tree across the top where the water starting falling. I feel like I have seen this log and waterfall in a movie.

Next we stopped at the famous Multnomah Falls with the iconic Benson Bridge. It is the tallest waterfall in Oregon and draws over two million visitor every year. There were a lot of visitors while we were there, especially on the bridge. We also went in the lodge which was old and had Harry Potter vibes but Daniel didn’t like how the place felt.

We stopped to talk to some Jehovah Witness pamphlet distributers to ask if they were vegan. Since watching Christspiracy, we believe this is an important question to ask of anyone who follows the bible.

After seeing all these beautiful waterfalls, I have to say that the highlight of our day was listening to a Today, Explained podcast where we learned that the US Supreme Court justices have a long history of watching porn in the basement of the Supreme Court Building for cases they were reviewing. We laughed especially hard after learning that a Supreme Court Justice with poor eyesight had to have an aide sit beside him and verbally describe what was on the TV. That poor aide!

We exercised this morning and noticed the clouds hovering in the treetops. It’s such a beautiful area.

The campground has a tiny home village (two homes are currently for sale for around $160k) which we like walking through. It’s very quiet and peaceful.

We had planned on driving to Mt. Hood and down to Columbia River today but our travels were quickly averted by a flat tire. So we ended up at Discount Tire in Gresham, OR where we also did some shopping.

Happy Fourth of July! It’s a very special day in our household. Daniel and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary and it’s Peter’s birthday/gotcha day. He’s 11! Most people are surprised by his age because he’s so healthy.

Peter is 11 years old! Picture by Happy Vegan Campers.

We went to Joe’s lake house in Lake Oswego, OR and met some of his friends: Natalie who does cat rescue and has a large edible garden, Diana who is into raw plant based eating, Kerry who shares our frustrations at working in healthcare, and Kathleen and Jeff who we learned are local social butterflies. We had a great time talking with them and they shared such delicious food with us.

We also loved this dog having a Titanic moment in the background of one of the pictures.

We also learned that from 1951-2023 it was against the law in Oregon for people to pump their own gas. Wow!

We took Lolo Pass Rd near Mt. Hood. It is a very pretty area with small waterfalls everywhere and views of the snow capped Mt. Hood. We especially liked the orange Columbia Tiger Lilly that we found along the road.

Home Depot, The Dalles, Oregon

We left the beautiful trees and ferns of the Mt. Hood area and drove to The Dalles, OR. It’s dry and hot here.

We have been getting coal rolled a lot lately. Coal rolling is when a driver of a vehicle, typically older pickup trucks, deliberately do something to make their vehicles emit black smoke aimed at electric vehicles. Today, a pickup truck driver coal rolled us as we passed by bicyclists. Talk about inconsiderate.

Mt. Hood Village Campground, Welches, Oregon

We left our water pressure regulator and hose splitter at our last campground in Bend, OR. Daniel has called the campground many times but no one has answered the phone and voice mail isn’t working. I’m in a Thousand Trails Facebook group and asked if anyone had a better number for the campground. We got a great response – Karen Hackett went to the campsite we had, found the things we left, and turned them into the ranger station. WOW!

Daniel and I have been trying to exercise every day using exercise bands and then jogging/walking. We both feel really good afterward. I’m so happy we can share exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle.

We drove back to Bend, OR to pick up our water pressure regulator and leave a small thank you gift for Karen, the lady from Facebook who helped us out. This situation has been a faith-in-humanity restoring opportunity.

We drove past several snow capped mountains on our drive back to Bend, OR. What an amazing place this would be to live. Just the views and outdoor activities alone would make this a desirable place.

Mt. Hood Village Campground, Welches, Oregon

We went to the Visitor Center in Troutdale, OR to get a free pass for the Multnomah Falls parking lot. Troutdale was such a cute town that we decided to explore. We ended up at McMenamins Edgefield which is an old poor house built in 1911 to house the poor. It now is home to a hotel/hostel, bars, restaurants, and a gift shop. There is also a golf course, spa, and event space. The 1/3 acre vegetable garden produces 3000-6000 pounds of organic produce each year to supply the restaurants. There were two concerts going while we were there. It is a really cool spot and I love that they repurposed an old building that was about to be condemned. We stopped at Jerry’s Ice House for drinks. The building was once used for cold storage and was dark but cozy with Grateful Dead playing in the background.

We had so much fun exploring Edgefield that we didn’t make it to the waterfall today. The vibe was just really good. It was the type of place that makes you want to linger and absorb… something.

We relaxed at the camper and did laundry. Daniel washed the cars. Putting so many miles on the Tesla X leaves it with a perpetual coating of grime.

Mt. Hood Village Campground, Welches, Oregon

We had a friend, Joe, visit us at our campsite. Joe was Daniel’s brother’s good friend from childhood. Joe hung out with us and the boys and we had great conversation. It was fun hearing stories about Dave and talking about dating later in life.

6-18-2025
H: 76ºF L: 42ºF
Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver, Bend, Oregon

We traveled further north to Bend, OR. Years ago, I had considered moving to Bend as I had heard good things about the town plus Oregon doesn’t have any sales tax. We drove around the town a little. It’s prettier than I thought it would be in this area and the town is very vibrant. Bend, OR is on the cusp of where the forests and Cascade Mountains in western Oregon turn into a semi-arid, high-desert climate in eastern Oregon.

6-19-2025
H: 70°F L: 38°F
Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver, Bend, Oregon

We went back to Bend, OR to explore. We stopped at the only remaining Block Buster in the world. It brought back a lot of memories for Daniel and me. Memories of all the time spent trying to find the perfect movie for the night, that peculiar smell, and “Be Kind, Rewind”.

We walked around downtown and had fun looking in the stores. One thing we have noticed in Bend is that they have large apartment or condo complexes with a small area of businesses like a bodega, bar, and coffee shop in the middle. We also noticed that people are friendly and seem happy here. Almost everyone is thin here, too. However, traffic is bad.

H: 49ºF L: 37ºF
Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver, Bend, Oregon

We took the boys for a walk at Deschutes National Forest. It was nice to be out in the woods by ourselves. The boys had a great time running around and exploring. I’ve noticed that Marcel knows exactly what to do (pose for a picture) when he sees me holding my phone up.

We chose to chill out at the camper. We have really enjoyed watching free shows on UnchainedTV which showcases vegan food, animal rights, and animal welfare shows. UnchainedTV can be accessed online or via their app.

H: 59ºF L: 46ºF
Mt. Hood Village Campground, Welches, Oregon

Today is a travel day! We will be spending two weeks near Mt. Hood. We were 14 miles away when Daniel pulled over because Rosie the Cybertruck was too low on charge. I have been encouraging Daniel to listen to podcasts and he did today but I guess he enjoyed them too much and got distracted. No matter, we just plugged Rosie into the camper battery for a little charge.

Mt. Hood is spectacular and our campsite is gorgeous with big trees and ferns providing lots of privacy.

H: 72°F L: 44°F
Mt. Hood Village Campground, Welches, Oregon

We went for a run/walk around our new campground this morning. They have the beautiful wildflowers, Foxglove, we found in the northeast last year. This campground is sprawling but pretty quiet. There is even a residential area of small cabins or tiny homes that we walked through.

Mt. Hood Village Campground, Welches, Oregon

We went to the best BML park today! The Wildwood Recreation Site in Welches, OR has paved trails which meander through an old growth forest next to the Salmon River. It also has an Underwater Fish Viewing Chamber which is built next to a small stream. I felt like the fish were watching us too!

Next we went to Timberline Lodge. You may remember the outside of this lodge from the movie The Shining. It was built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and opened to the public in 1938. It showcased the excellent craftsmanship of Americans. While the lodge has done well for many years, at one point it was shut down by the Forest Service for poor financial management, gambling, and prostitution.

We had fun exploring the property and finding cool nooks and crannies full of wood carvings and functional metalworking art.

H: 74ºF L: 39ºF
Tahoe Valley Campground, South Lake Tahoe, California

Happy Father’s Day! There aren’t enough words to describe what a good and gentle leader Daniel is. He loves our boys and they love him.

We continued to enjoy the company of Forrest and Alex whom we met during Rolling Vegan Rendezvous. Forrest helped Daniel and I work out on his equipment. Then we took the boys for a walk in the woods. I made soy milk and whole wheat bread flavored with garlic powder and black pepper. So good!

We hung out after dinner with Alex and Forrest. We have a lot in common so it’s fun talking with them and learning all the little ways we are alike.

6-16-2025
H: 81°F L: 54°F
Boondocking, Walmart, Susanville, California

We left Tahoe and headed north. It was an easy drive but we did have a mishap – the latch on our refrigerator broke so the door opened and there was a mess on the floor and a broken drawer. Luckily, I cleaned everything while Daniel fixed the drawer and used a wire clothes hanger to make a new latch for the refrigerator. He’s a real life MacGyver!

6-17-2025
H: 79ºF L: 43ºF
Boondocking, Walmart, Klamath Falls, Oregon

We traveled north today. We stopped to charge at the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge in Tulelake, CA to charge the truck. It is a slow charger (25¢ per kWh) so we drove down the road with our other car to Lava Beds National Monument and climbed down in an ice cave: the Skull Cave. This cave is actually three lava tubes on top of each other and the bottom lava tube is deep enough to keep a pond frozen all year. Skull Cave got its name from the sheep and human skeletons found in the cave. It was really neat! If you go, definitely take a good, bright flashlight and a sweatshirt. Also, there are some pretty steep stairs which need to be taken to get down to the iced over pond.

We also enjoyed the lava fields in this park. The golden grass and yellow flowers in the fields were spectacular!

The drive into Oregon gave us beautiful views of Mt. Shasta as the sun was setting. Having grown up in Michigan where you don’t see anything like this, seeing these kinds of views just feels spiritual.

6-8-2025
H: 77ºF L: 50ºF
Tahoe Valley Campground, South Lake Tahoe, California

We went to Carson City, NV to visit Daniel’s Aunt Darlene. The boys were so excited to see her and run around in her backyard.

6-9-2025
H: 78°F L: 49°F
Tahoe Valley Campground, South Lake Tahoe, California

Peter finally howled! Neither Peter nor Marcel know how to howl so we have been practicing every morning while I make coffee. Peter tries so hard but he sounds hoarse like he has smoked for 50 years. Marcel talks more than howls. This morning, however, Peter finally tilted his chin up and made the sweetest little howl.

We met my sister, Kim, for lunch and had so much fun talking and hanging out. We realized that Regan’s are natural born brats. Poor Daniel! Haha!

Fellow vegans we met at Rolling Vegan Rendezvous, Forrest and Alex, joined us at our campsite in a camper van. It was good to see them again. They have started a coaching business, Vibrant Vegan Fitness. If you are looking for fitness, vegan nutrition counseling, and general support on living a healthier life, these are the people to contact. They are super cool and really knowledgeable.

Tahoe Valley Campground, South Lake Tahoe, California

Forrest, who is a fitness trainer, showed us how to work out with exercise bands. We bought some exercise bands last year and have been using them but haven’t gotten a really hard workout until now. Forrest is ripped and we will definitely be using the training tips he gave us.

Later in the evening, we enjoyed talking and hanging out around the fire with Forrest and Alex. We realized we have a lot in common besides veganism and our love of animals like our mutual love of Netflix dating shows.

6-11-2025
H: 73ºF L: 50ºF
Tahoe Valley Campground, South Lake Tahoe, California

We said goodbye to Forrest and Alex for now and hung out with our neighbors, Yvonne and Matt. They asked a lot of questions about WFPB. We learned Matt is a retired air traffic controller. Did you know the mandatory retirement age for air traffic controllers is 56?

We extended our stay at Tahoe Valley Campground and are lucky that Forrest and Alex will be joining us again this weekend. Unfortunately, we will have to move to a new campsite so that will entail packing up but our new site is spacious.

6-12-2025
H: 71ºF L: 43ºF
Tahoe Valley Campground, South Lake Tahoe, California

We took the boys kayaking on Lake Tahoe. Daniel took each dog separately so they could get used to the boat before we all piled in and went into deeper water. The boys did great although Marcel was not happy about sitting in a little bit of water. We saw the cutest boat house with a neat roof line during our short trip.

We drove back up CA-4 (Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway) to explore the Stanislaus National Forest which we drove through on the way to Lake Tahoe. It was so beautiful a few days ago when we were pulling the camper through the rainy mountains but we couldn’t stop. Today, we drove toward Mosquito Lake and we were able to stop whenever we desired. We found an area to walk the boys off-leash in a valley by North Fork Mokelumne River.

We also had the pleasure of seeing this guy (Yellow-Bellied Marmot) who seemed just as interested in us as we were in him.

We stopped at Mosquito Lake and it was awesome! It’s actually two small ponds created by dams. There are tiny little cabins perched on the rocks. It had a fairytale quality.

Tahoe Valley Campground, South Lake Tahoe, California

I worked on the blog and did laundry. We also moved to a different campsite in the same campground. We had planned on boondocking with other vegans we met at Rolling Vegan Rendezvous north of Lake Tahoe but everyone canceled except for Forrest and Alex. So Forrest and Alex are going to join us at our campsite for another couple nights.

We enjoyed a free concert at the campground after dinner. It was a bluegrass band, Whiskey & Wolves, and they were pretty good. We also met a nice (albeit drunk) man and his dog, Nathan and Cowboy.

H: 72ºF L: 43ºF
Tahoe Valley Campground, South Lake Tahoe, California

We started our day with a Belly Flop Contest at the campground. Since tomorrow is Father’s Day, we assumed most of the contestants were fathers taking one for the team. It was fun and we cheered for Nathan whom we met yesterday.

We drove along the Lake Tahoe on the Nevada side for a little ways. During our previous stop near Lake Tahoe, we definitely liked the Nevada side of the lake verses the California side. We stopped at an open house for a $2.5 million home. It was nice but certainly about $2 million over priced. It didn’t even have a view. Daniel and I like to tour homes for sale to get ideas for the house we want to build in Tennessee.

Alex and Forrest joined us at our campsite again. We went to another free concert at the campground with Alex. The band was Cash Only, a Johnny Cash cover band. They were pretty good and we enjoyed dancing. We all enjoyed watching a lady dancing and just doing her own thing.

Reflections on Two Years of Traveling

We can’t believe we have been traveling in our camper for two whole years! We’ve done so much that it feels like a lot longer. As we reflect on our experiences over the past year, there are a few things that stand out.

Friends

We were worried that we would feel isolated while traveling the country. While researching what living and traveling full-time in an RV would entail, we had heard that meeting people is difficult. That has not been our experience. We meet people at just about every campground – some we just have short-term connections with and others we keep in contact with. Some we have even traveled with. Some have become life-long friends.

We are so grateful for the group of people pictured below. We call them our Friend Family. And while we are all currently in different parts of the country, we stay in touch and we have supported each other through new jobs, injuries and illness, and the zaniness of life.

Friend Family. Picture by Happy Vegan Campers.

Volcanoes

We had no idea that volcanoes played such a big part of the landscape in the west. In fact, New Mexico is a top place in the world to study young volcanoes. Who knew?! We’ve seen black basalt (lava) just randomly scattered all over the western part of the country. We’ve been in lava tube caves and have seen basalt in unexpected places.

Young volcano in Arizona. Picture by Happy Vegan Campers.

Geology

We have learned so many cool things about the land. This year we learned about the Mega Floods which occurred 15,000-18,000 years ago and had a huge impact on the land from Idaho to western Washington to the coast of Oregon. We loved seeing the giant ripples from 70 mph rushing flood waters along the Columbia River and imagining water 400 feet over our heads as we looked at Dry Falls in Washington.

Water ripples left from the Mega Flood in western Washington. Picture by Happy Vegan Campers.

It is impossible to stay clean when camping

Daniel and I have had a hard time keeping our clothes and shoes clean on the west side of the country. I felt like everything was dusty all the time. The dogs, Peter and Marcel, became so dirty just from the walks we took. The west is just a dirty place. Beautiful but dirty.

We went to Glacier Point today and it was amazing! A massive storm rolled in over the mountains while we watched. There were at least four massive waterfalls within view at Glacier Point. The beauty of this place is way beyond our expectations.

As we were leaving Yosemite Valley, we saw some rock climbers and a sleeping bag hanging off the sheer rock wall. I very much lack the guts it would take to do something like this.

We also saw some pretty flowers during our drive. Our favorite was the red Snow Plant, a parasitic plant which feeds off mycorrhizal fungi that attach to tree roots. It was unlike anything we have seen before and we only spotted a few of them today.

While we were at Glacier Point, a woman asked if she could take a picture with Daniel because he was wearing his “Free Palestine” shirt. She said she was Palestinian and thanked him for his support. I wish I had taken a picture of them too. Alas, here is a picture of Daniel and I in our t-shirts in support of the Palestinian people.

We went to another part of Yosemite National Park today: Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Two more big waterfalls poured into the reservoir and we could see two more off in the distance. I can’t believe how many waterfalls Yosemite has.

After the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906, city officials recognized the importance of a more reliable water source. The Raker Act was passed in 1913 giving San Francisco the ability to establish the Hetch Hetchy Water and Power Project which required access to public lands including Yosemite National Park. The O’Shaughnessy Dam was built in 1923. The entire system took 20 years to build and it transports water 167 miles from the reservoir by gravity alone supplying 85% of San Francisco’s water.

We walked along the top of the dam and found a tunnel at the other end. It led to trails that go to the waterfalls or up the mountain. We wanted to see the waterfalls but accidentally took the wrong trail and ended up switchbacking up the mountain. We had great views and found a lot of little streams and mini waterfalls. Plus, it was great exercise!

We also learned that Yosemite National Park has over 1000 different flowers! Here’s what we found today:

Our drive to and from the reservoir was spectacular. We loved the meadow full of flowers and the old barn which looked to have been there for 100+ years.

Daniel did two consult calls with Vibrant Vegan clients. He meets people where they are at on the path to better health. He offers tips on eating whole food, plant-based and lots of encouragement. Daniel is happy to talk to anyone wanting to make healthy changes to their diets and lifestyles.

We drove the Tioga Pass to see what we missed when the road was closed. It was colder and a little rainy but the views were still spectacular.

The CA-120 (Tioga Pass) went over one area that looked like a huge land/rock slide. It made me a little nervous driving on that stretch of the road.

We stopped and walked up to an administrative camping area where they do research. The gate was closed and no one was there so the boys had a blast running off-leash.

We moved to South Lake Tahoe today. We drove through probably the most beautiful National Forest I have ever seen. Stanislaus National Forest viewed from Ebbetts-Pass Scenic Byway (CA-4) is stunning. I couldn’t get any pictures because I was driving. We drove by a little, misty pond with small cottages perched on rocks. It was so picturesque it looked unreal.

We relaxed at the campground most of the day but took the boys for an evening walk on a trail which goes to a river. It was really pretty but the river wasn’t accessible.
