The Journey Home
On Monday, October 2 we started our trek home. We had several stops in mind but after 6 and a half weeks of adventures, we were ready to head home. It wasn’t long before we were heading east on I70 and arriving in Colorado. This is the entrance to the Eisenhower Tunnel. It’s west of…

More Utah (and a little Arizona)
We arrived in Panguitch, UT on Monday, September 25. We met our friends Tina and Jeff at the RV park, which was about 40 minutes from Bryce Canyon National Park. After getting set-up and checking out their cabin, which was right next to our RV site, we took a little ride around the small town.…

Salt Lake City
Our first full day in Salt Lake City started with a trip to the farmers market. It was on the 4 streets surrounding Pioneer Park in downtown SLC. It was a great market and we stocked up on veggies and sweets. But the really fun part was getting to hold this Eurasian Eagle-Owl, which we…

Idaho
After finally packing up in Wyoming and getting on the road on Monday, Sept 18 it was mostly a day of driving to Arco, Idaho. No interstates and no Teton Pass – just mostly along the Snake River. And we also started to see some color. After staying overnight in Arco, Idaho, we had a…

Jackson and the Grand Teton National Park
After leaving Yellowstone via the South Entrance Road on Tuesday, September 12, we quickly arrived at the Grand Teton NP (here after called GTNP). Driving into GTNP, and a view of the mountains from the Coulter Bay parking lot. We stopped here and bought some sandwiches from the general store for lunch. Views of Jackson…

Yellowstone!!!! At last!
I showed you our first stop in Yellowstone in my last post – in this one I will give you the full experience. I have over 2,600 pictures that I took there – my first pass at trimming that down got me to 330. I got that down to about 200 for this post, but…

Montana
On Saturday, Sept 2, it wasn’t too long until we got to Montana. We were headed to Billings for an overnight. Miles and miles of open land as we drove along I94 to Billings. But it is right on the Yellowstone River, so we took a walk there. I think we were walking on what…

North Dakota
We rented a car for this portion of the trip, so we started our ND adventure on Thursday, 8/31 with golf at the Heart River Golf Club. Trish had a par and beat me by 2 strokes. It was a nice, well-maintained course along the Heart River. We enjoyed the round. We then went back…

Devils Tower and Driving to ND
I gave you a tease of our next stop last time, which was the area around Devil’s Tower – we arrived there on Monday, August 28. The above photos were taken of the sunset, from our campground! Not sure what that piece of equipment is, but it looks old and adds some interest to the…

Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park – more of SD
On the way out of the Badlands on Sunday 8/27, our first stop was the Minuteman National Historic Site. Those of you from New England might be asking why is there a Minuteman site in SD – they weren’t even part of the US when the Minutemen were a thing. Well, this is for the…

Badlands National Park
We were driving to the Badlands on Friday August 25 after our South Dakota golf. It was almost three hours of driving through fields – and then we started to see scenery like the above – we were getting close. We got checked into our campground, which was about 20 minutes outside the Badlands National…

Lincoln, NE and Getting to SD
Our destination on Wednesday 8/23 was Lake Manawa State Park in Council Bluffs, IA – that is just south of Omaha, NE. Since it was way too hot – over 80 shortly after we woke up and headed to over 100, we looked for some indoor activity along our route. So we took some back…

Sandusky, OH to Des Moines, IA
On Sunday, Aug 20 we took off from our smelly RV site and headed to the Sheldon Marsh Nature Preserve. This is over 400-acres that is one of the only undeveloped parcels on the Lake Erie coast in this area. It is also a stopover point for the spring bird migration. There is a swamp,…

Finally
After over 4 years of planning to get to Yellowstone National Park, we are on the way! Our trip in 2020 was sidelined by COVID, 2021 by construction on the RV park, and 2022 by floods and a family wedding. But this year is a go! We left Massachusetts on Thursday, August 17 headed to…
