Those Young Guys – Finding Our Way
We had a lovely drive in eastern Oregon with beautiful weather, gorgeous views, and snow capped mountains. Along the drive we had noticed an RV ahead of us with great tail lights which we both commented on. A bit later the RV took an exit for a rest area and

During the past weeks we have experienced a variety of weather patterns. We have had wind, rain, hail, hot weather, high humidity, and enough mosquitoes to last a lifetime. Central Alberta has been getting its share of rain this summer which means the bugs were out. But after we

We left Washoe Lake State Park and drove highway 50 east to Highway 95 north to I-80 to Winnemucca. A nice peaceful drive along some high desert alkaline dry lake beds. Almost feels like Bonneville Flats in some areas. The drive also included lots of ground squirrels running across the
