Island Treasure

While visiting my aunt who lives on Sauvie Island outside of Portland we took a tour of a local herbary where I caught sight of an oldie that probably hasn't seen the road in quite awhile.

Construction Zones

Who says a highway full of dead stop construction zones are a drag? Jeep girls love to find any opportunity to sunbathe, sing to the radio and eat some good snacks while everyone else suffers along in a car. It's all good!

Portland Bound

Our weekend at the beach eventually came to an end. We had an amazing time and Laura's dropping me off in Portland so that I can visit with family for the remainder of my vacation week. Thanks for the beautiful Highway 101 Jeep adventure, Laura!

Jeep Girls Gone Coastal

Road Trip!!

Laura and I are heading for the Oregon Coast. Watch out Cannon Beach - we're coming your way and we're bringing a Jeep dog (Molly) along for the ride.

To the Mountain

Laura, Dan and I loaded up in her Rubi and drove up to Crystal Mountain Resort for dinner. We had the tops off and the rock tunes blaring all the way up to the base at 4,400'. The gondola took us to the summit at 6,872' where we had a breath taking snow covered view of Mt. Rainier hovering above at 14,410'.

Back in Washington

Toto, I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore! I'm back in Washington for the holiday weekend visiting with my inspiration and best Jeep bud, Laura. She's smoke'n hot with her Rubi. Work it, Laura, you are super sporty cute!

Dog Days of Summer

A weekend at the lake turned out to be all about the dog. I took Sheba on a sunrise walk around the campground, we swam together, sat by the fire and slept quite comfortably in the back of Edy. Life really is good!

Rare Truck

You don't see a Jeep truck very often. The body had a little rust bubbling up but it was in pretty good condition and a sight to see.

Jeep Love

That's one smart dog - she loves a Jeep too!

Body Lifts are Good

Seeing this Rubicon at a gas station has me wanting a body lift...nice Rubi!

Hello Summer

Who needs air conditioning when life's this good?

A New Cool

Check out the cool new spokesperson for the Jeep brand. As if Lenny could get any cooler, we find that he's had the same Jeep for 16 years and he too leads a no holds barred adventurous approach to life. I'm gonna get that album, for sure...Peace.Love.

Sportz Tent Review

A couple of my girlfriends joined me for what I called a "trial run" in my new Sportz tent I ordered from Gander Mountain. We set up at El Dorado Lake on an overcast and cold day facing away from the wind. The tent is huge with the main room 7 foot tall and 10 x 10 wide. There's a sunroom (detachable) that didn't get any use on this trip but will be perfect on hot, breezy days. There's an elastic sleeve that wraps around the back of my olllllllo that adds my sleeping room and what we called the Penthouse. And if that's not enough, the flap in front unzips to make an awning. It's roomy but cozy, functional and all the giddy fun and adventure I thought it would be.

Happy Mother's Day

Just cruising around town and going topless with my momma on Mother's Day.

Toy Box

I keep finding more things to love about my olllllllo. Like the fact that my golf bag can stand upright in the back (w/o the driver) with a bungie cord around the roll bar to keep it in place.

Envy

I'm happy with mine but this one borders on envy. If I didn't have a professional job, I sure would have mine lifted with big tires too. This one is sweet.

Big Baby

Big Baby went for a couple of rides this weekend. She's pretty calm until she sees another dog and then just goes bezerk. The most memorable time was going through Dairy Queen drive-thru and they gave her a small cup of soft serve ice cream. I'll never be able to leave the house alone again.

Long Way Home

A warm 83 degree morning running errands with the tops off of the olllllllo had me taking the long way home. I find myself thinking, "Where have you been all my life, Edy." It's true love.

First Road Trip: Texas

Can I get a YEEHAW!?! Mom and I took off for the weekend for my first road trip with Edy and we got to try out the air mattress by spending the first night in a campground in Canton, Texas for the 1st Monday Trade Days weekend. We had a prime parking spot and woke to the sun rising from the back of my ollllllllo. Although it was chilly in the morning, we were very comfortable sleeping in the back.



We walked around the flea market until we couldn't take another step and then headed towards my family's place on Cedar Creek Lake for a night of bullets, bows, BBQ, bonfire & beer. It was a 980 mile weekend packed with fun and adventure - Texas style!
