It’s late October and by this time Bryce could be cold and full of snow as we had discovered in previous years. But this year we lucked out and had beautiful, dry weather and sunny warm days and the nights were down to freezing. We had wanted to stay

Willard Bay State Park – Cottonwood Campground – Utah
We’re back! We have stayed at this campground a few times before and seem to keep coming back. Yes, it is very noisy here due to the proximity to I-15 but it is so convenient with easy off and easy off from the interstate and it’s location just north of
Continue readingFarewell Bend Recreation Area – Huntington, Oregon
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
Continue readingSalmon Lake State Park – Seeley Lake, Montana
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
Continue readingGold Springs Campground – Milk River, Alberta, Canada
We headed south on Hwy 36 just east of Forestburg (on Hwy 53) to make our way to Milk River. The road and the drive were lovely and represented some wonderful Alberta prairies scenery. It took us through the Brooks area and Taber (don’t forget to get some corn). Further

Every year we try and meet up with family for an August long weekend camp out. We are pretty much guaranteed a terrific time, lots of chatting and laughing, lots of food, and an occasionally rainstorm. This year did not disappoint. The camp out was held on a ball field

We hung out in Alberta for a few weeks visiting family and some friends that Norm had not seen in many, many years. Part of the visit meant staying on the farm and having wonderful views of the large, beautiful prairie skies AND being fed like a king and queen.

We drive to Canada several times a year and we like to change up our route every time but there are still only so many ways to get from one point to another. We love Banff and Jasper due to the sheer beauty but we detest the crowds. It’s a

The drive from Weiser to Lewiston along Hwy 95 is one of our favorite drives. From New Meadows to Whitebird the highway parallels the Little Salmon River and provides great views and wonderful rest areas (pull-offs) which are plentiful and spacious. These are great for a lunch break, a rest,

The weather changed that day from Nevada from being cold, wet, and windy to southern Idaho being hot and dry. It was in the 90’s (Fahrenheit) when we arrived in the early afternoon. We had a very warm night and even with the windows open we heard very little
