  Westcott House As the bad news continued with Cochella, we decided to take a ride over to Springfield Ohio and check out the Wescott House built by Frank Lloyd Wright. We’ve always been big fans of Frank Lloyd Wright, yet we’ve never actually toured one of his properties. The architecture was amazing and the tour was very good.   Enjoy Side of the House, which looks like it should be the front..... Master Bedroom Original Lighting Outside door to the fridge where ice blocks were delivered and inserted The second window frame is the ice door From the Sleeping Balcony into the Master Bedroom View of Courtyard from Master Bedroom Awesome old tub The "Garage" house Just another view Solid Brass fuse box.

Oregon Coast and the Redwood Forest

By

  One is never too old to learn something.  This week, we learned that Oregon is more beautiful than we had expected.  Amazing landscape. We planned to go from Olympic National Forest to the California Redwoods and decided to take the coast for the entire journey.  We were on a bit of a time crunch and hope that we can come back and take more time to visit the many cute little seaside towns. Oh, and a big middle finger to California for pulling our RV aside and crawling under it for 10 minutes because we're from Virginia. Believe it or not, California has border patrol for invasive species, like the Gypsy Moth from Virginia. Rich with irony, isn't it? Brookings, OR Siusiaw, Oregon The Redwoods And More Coastline

Chapter 3 - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

.....IT IS WHAT IT IS..... When we last left our Superheros, they were broken down on the side of Route 70, west of Columbus, being rocked by every passing truck........ We got Cochella towed to a Freightliner dealer about 10 miles away and barely made it to the yard before they closed for the holiday.  Cochella couldn't be diagnosed until after the holiday, so we had a few days to chill our jets........ THE GOOD: Rick and Laura live the lake life, where neighbors are friends and friends are neighbors.  Everyone was welcoming and we were met with hugs and handshakes everywhere.    Riding on Rick and Laura's coattails, we were invited to a neighbor's pool party for the 4th.   We met awesome folks, ate awesome food and even got to try some Pappy Van Winkle 12 year Lot B.  Heck of a day, I says.    Shout out here to Chris and Loretta Adams for hosting a great 4th celebration party.....much love and thanks...... Such a fun time.  We are grat...
