Boaterhoming – Michigan to Washington State

Boaterhoming – Michigan to Washington State

After saying our goodbyes at home, we were off on an eight-day cross-country trek, boaterhoming our way to Anacortes, WA. It is a pretty heady feeling to close the door on our house and jump into the truck for a three-month adventure.

It took us eight days to reach our destination of Anacortes, Washington. We’ve done this route before, so we knew what we were in for. Our chosen path for this trip is the northern Route 2, which took us the whole way across country, just short of Anacortes. This simplified navigation. The first part of the trip will be through lush forests and small towns, with Lake Superior showing up on and off for some way. By day three or four, we saw the landscape change and get more interesting, first rolling hills turn to rocky mountain ranges, and rapid rivers wind by and under the road.

This was a surprise for us (photo-top right). Jim and I play Mah Jongg all the time, especially while cruising. It was fun to see the RV folks in the middle of a game when we checked in.

We try to go for a walk around the RV parks as soon as we arrive. Helps to stretch our legs and see the surroundings. Riley Creek Recreation Area, near Sandpoint, Idaho, was one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have experienced.
