We traveled highway 99 south to Bakersfield where we hung a left on Highway 58 and crossed the Tehachappi Mountains and then turned right on highway 14 near the <a href="http://www.mojaveairport.com/">Mojave Air and Space Port</a> and continued on to our destination, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acton,_California">Acton, Ca</a>. The trip was about 185 miles with moderate traffic and a pleasant drive through mostly desert terrain. We had reservations at <a href="http://www.calrv.com/index.php">The Californian RV Resort </a>for four nights. I've been griping about the rates being higher as we get near large cities or major attractions. Well, I guess that's not always true as this was one of the nicer parks we've stayed at and they even accept Passport America for three nights, which means we stayed three out of four nights for half price. Acton is in LA County and is about fifty miles from the big city, but is only twenty miles from Simi Valley, where we planned to visit the <a href="https://www.reaganfoundation.org/">Ronald Regan Library</a>. Visiting the Regan Library has long been on the top five of my bucket list and I couldn't wait to see it. We decided it might be best to go there on Sunday, thinking the traffic would be lighter. We rode with Terry and Kathy in their Jeep as it would be easier to navigate in traffic and park. Terry loves to drive in traffic anyway! (Not) The library did not disappoint and exceeded my expectations. The library is jointly owned and operated by the Federal Government and The Regan Foundation. The Library was built with non-tax dollars and is absolutely first class. The Regan Foundation even arranged to have the retired Air Force One plane that served President Regan brought to the museum.<br />
<br />
Our remaining time here was spent sight seeing in the area and visiting the well known <a href="https://roadtrippers.com/stories/americas-musical-road?lat=40.80972&lng=-96.67528&z=5">Singing Highway</a> in Lancaster, Ca. I found a decent You Tube video of the highway that can be seen and heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9irHyKrITKI">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Seems like I mentioned at the beginning of this trip RVer's plans are set in Jello meaning they can be changed at a moments notice. Well, that has happened to us. We're cutting the trip short and starting back east when we leave here. We want to get home in time to vote, and at the rate we're going, we're not going to make it unless we start back. Our next stop will be Las Vegas for four days.<br />

We have always heard that Sunday mornings is the best time to travel through the large cities due to lighter traffic. Well, all that is well and good if there's not a football game in town! When we hit I-580 near Oakland, traffic became really heavy due to an Oakland Raiders football game and evidently folks get to the game early because all six lanes were packed. We finally cleared the congestion and had smooth sailing the rest of the way to<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coarsegold,_California"> Coarsegold, Ca.</a> where we stayed at <a href="http://rvcoutdoors.com/yosemite-rv-resort/">Yosemite RV Resort</a>, the closest RV park to the south entrance of <a href="https://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm">Yosemite National Park</a>. Yosemite is a huge park with no roads going east and west. All the roads run north and south due to the Sierra Mountain Range. We traveled the southwest corner of the park, which is the most popular section. As we've traveled farther south into California, we've noticed how dry the state is. All the grass along the roads and in fields is brown and we've seen a lot of streams that have either dried up or have little water in them. I saw a report on a local TV station that the state has been in a drought for six years with no end in site. We saw a lot of trees in the parks that have died due to the drought and pine beetle infestation. We spent three days in Yosemite and then traveled further south to the town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visalia,_California">Visalia, Ca</a>. where we stayed at <a href="http://www.countrymanormhc.com/rv.htm">Country Manor Mobile Home Community</a> for three nights. We plan to explore Sequoia National Park and nearby <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Canyon_National_Park">Kings Canyon National Park</a> while here. Visalia and Tulane County are the crown jewel of the agricultural <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Joaquin_Valley">San Joaquin Valley of California</a> and is ranked number one in the entire nation in the production of milk, and all types of fruit and nuts. There are orchards on virtually every road you travel that goes mile after mile after mile, and in between orchards you will see many oil wells.<br />
<br />
From here we plan to head further south and get dangerously close to Los Angeles to visit The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. <br />

We've painfully learned that the closer we stay to major attractions or cities, the more expensive the parks are and the harder it is to find accommodations. Our sites at Olema were dirt sites with only 30 amp power and no sewer for $43.10/night including our Good Sam discount. No bargain at all, but as Crickett says "it is what it is". We had hoped to stay at the Fairgrounds park in Sonoma, where we stayed on our last trip, but it was booked for some event. We kept a close eye on the weather to plan our day trips so we would have better picture taking conditions and looked like Thursday and Friday were our best days for going to San Francisco. The other days we went on trips to close by <a href="https://www.nps.gov/pore/index.htm">Point Reyes National Seashore</a>, checked out the scenic coastline, ran errands and rested the remainder of our time there. Our first day trip to San Francisco we walked across the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge">Golden Gate Bridge </a>again, which is an awesome experience that I would recommend to everyone! We had previously walked the bridge with our good friends Al & Pat when we here two years ago and it hasn't changed much, but is still really cool. The only issue we had was dodging bicycles, which share the same sidewalk as the pedestrians, the same as two years ago! Our second trip to the "City by the Bay", we really lucked out. There is an annual event there called <a href="http://fleetweeksf.org/">Fleet Week </a>where our armed services have their ships and planes on display including an air show with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels">Blue Angel</a>s being the main attraction. The displays and shows were Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Friday was our second day there. We had previously planned to book a harbor cruise and as luck would have it, it coincided with the air show, so we got to see a lot of the air show from the bay. Our cruise was with the <a href="https://www.redandwhite.com/">Red and White Fleet</a> and is known as "The Bridge to Bridge" tour with the ship going under the Golden Gate Bridge and then close to Alcatraz and under the Oakland bridge and back to pier 43 1/2. Our tour lasted about 90 minutes, cost $36 each and was very worthwhile. <br />
<br />
Our next stop is in the community of Coarsegold, Ca. where we plan to see <a href="https://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm">Yosemite National Park</a> for the first time!<br />

The park is near <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redcrest,_California">Redcrest, Ca</a>. We had a good trip and managed to not hit any of the Redwoods that are on the edge of the road. The park is located on a 30 mile stretch of road, running parallel with 101, named "Avenue of the Giants", and boy, is it correctly named! We had a pretty fair sampling of the Redwoods in Jedediah Smith State Park, that we visited from Brookings, and had a good idea of what to expect. The Redwoods are the oldest and tallest living things on earth with some dating back over 2,000 years. Think of it, some were here at the same time as Jesus, which is incredible in my mind. I've often heard the expression that some things have to be experienced, that they cannot be recorded, photographed, or conveyed in any medium that we have to present a true likeness. Such is the experience in walking through a forest of these majestic creatures. It's almost spiritual like with the stillness and quietness of the forest and virtually no movement or noise of any kind. We commented multiple times about not seeing any animals or birds, although I'm sure they were there. I told Terry that if I owned property with these trees on it, I couldn't bring myself to having them cut as they are so majestic and beautiful.<br />
<br />
The first eight photos were made at Jedediah Smith SP near Crescent City, Ca. All after that were at Avenue of the Giants near Redcrest, Ca.<br />
<br />
Finding accommodations continues to be a major problem for us, even
after school has started back. We're having to start looking for parks
one to two stops ahead which has been challenging. I suppose the economy
somewhat recovering, along with cheaper fuel and record number of RV's
being sold has put a lot more folks on the roads. <br />
<br />
Our next stop will be near San Francisco at the Olema RV Park for eight days. Stay tuned!<br />

The last blog I posted was about Northern Oregon and where we traveled south to the town of North Bend for three nights at the <a href="http://www.themillcasino.com/accommodations/rvpark.cfm">Mill Casino RV Park</a> near Coos Bay. This area is another coastal community known for its' seaport and fishing harbor in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston,_Oregon">Charleston </a>and is where Crickett and I got our first taste of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeness_crab">Dungeness Crab</a>. We found a waterfront restaurant there that specialized in Dungeness Crab but were unfortunately out for the day. The nice lady brought us out a couple of legs as a sampler since we told her we had never tasted any and were looking forward to it. The meat is much sweeter than we had expected and was actually very good. We're hoping to find some before we leave the west coast. There's a lot of douglas fir and western hemlock timber brought into the area by truck and rail that is processed at lumber yards and is then loaded aboard ships to be sent all over the globe. The area is especially well known for it's rugged and scenic coast line and is home to many state parks along Highway 101.<br />
<br />
After three nights and two packed sightseeing days, we moved 107 miles on down the coast to another seaport community known as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookings,_Oregon">Brookings</a>, or Brookings Harbor, which is about five miles north of the California/Oregon state line. The area is locally known as "the banana belt" with temperaures rarely reaching 90 in the summer and warmer in the winter than west coast average due to winds compressing and warming the air at the foot of the nearby <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klamath_Mountains">Klamath Mountains</a>. We stayed at the<a href="http://www.driftwoodrvpark.com/"> Driftwood RV Park </a>which is near the harbor. Unfortunately, the weather was uncooperative during our stay which made sight seeing a challenge. The weather was cloudy and foggy while there and was pretty much the same as when we were last there two years ago. This section of Oregon probably has the most scenic coast line, and we've yet to catch it under sunny skies. Oh well, I guess that gives us reason to return again! We explored the coast line north up to <a href="http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=44">Cape Blanco State Park</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_City,_California">Crescent City, Ca</a>. to the south while here. Our next stop was 147 miles further south down 101 to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redcrest,_California">Redcrest, Ca</a> to explore the Giant Redwoods.<br />

Most of the trip was on I-84 that runs alongside the Columbia River for many miles until reaching Portland. Traffic was predictably heavy and we were vigilantly watching for our turnoff when our faithful (and sometimes trusty) GPS told us to take the next exit, which I didn't think was right, but hindsight has taught me the GPS is right more often than I am! Well, guess what, our faithful GPS led us astray on this one and put us on a course headed straight for the middle of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon">Portland</a> and we were right in the middle of midday traffic with no exits in sight. I looked at Crickett and asked "haven't you always wanted to see downtown Portland? Before she could answer, I told her to tighten her seat belt and hang on! Now bear in mind we're pulling a forty foot RV, that weighs 15,000 pounds and with our truck makes us over sixty foot long! Makes me appreciate how skilled those 18 wheeler drivers are. Thankfully we made it and stopped at the first rest area on I-5 to relieve our bladders and regroup. The rest of the trip was good and we safely arrived at <a href="http://cranberryrvpark.com/">Cranberry RV Park</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Beach,_Washington">Long Beach, Wa</a>. for three nights. The first day there was pretty much a washout which left us only one day for sightseeing. I assume the park was named after the nearby cranberry fields and we spotted an Ocean Spray packing facility nearby. We were close to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astoria,_Oregon">Astoria</a>, where the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River">Columbia River</a> empties into the Pacific. There's a well known bridge there named the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astoria%E2%80%93Megler_Bridge">Astoria-Megler Bridge </a>that spans the river. It's over four miles across and is PDH (pretty dang high) in the middle and we had to cross it many times. Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv0sEQs_oi4">link</a> to a cool You Tube video someone posted of the bridge. Probably the highlight of Astoria, for us, was the <a href="http://www.bowpicker.com/">BowPicker Fish n' Chips</a> that serves the best fish in town. It's a most unusual establishment which you will see when you check out the pictures. We visited several historic forts and lighthouses in the area, before moving on down the coast to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport,_Oregon">Newport</a> where we stayed at the <a href="http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=149">South Beach State Park</a> for four nights. The Newport area is home to an active and scenic fishing harbor as well as several lighthouses and scenic coast line. We saw several fish processing facilities there and is the home of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Coast_Aquarium">Oregon Coast Aquarium</a>. South of Newport is the nearby town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depoe_Bay,_Oregon">Depoe Bay</a>, which is well known as a good area to spot whales moving up the coast. We have since migrated south to the town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Bend,_Oregon">North Bend, Or.</a> which is adjacent to Coos Bay where we're staying for three days at the <a href="http://www.themillcasino.com/accommodations/rvpark.cfm">Mill Casino RV Park</a>. We're back on the road tomorrow (09-26) heading for Driftwood RV Park in Brookings, Or. for three days and then into California.....Wahoo!<br />

Now, who would think this would be the number one rated restaurant on Trip Advisor in Astoria? Everyone I asked about where to get good seafood raved about this place. Their only menu choice is Albacore Tuna prepared in a light beer batter. It's primarily carry out but there are a couple of tables nearby if you're lucky enough to get one. </td></tr>

This was our shortest trip we've made between destinations with only 80 miles to travel and was through desert like regions, but was still very scenic with multiple 6% grades. We're staying at <a href="http://peachbeachcamping.com/">Peach Beach RV Park</a> on the banks of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River">Columbia River</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldendale,_Washington">Goldendale, Wa.</a> which is adjacent to a peach orchard. We had intended to stay deeper into the gorge around the town of The Dalles (pronounced dowels), but this was the closest park we could find due to the salmon run. More about that later.<br />
<br />
This area is dominated by the Columbia River, which is huge, but there are many other features and attractions that make this region a great place to visit. The river serves as the state line between Washington on the north side and Oregon on the south. There is a lot of American history here with this area being the route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1804 through 1806. Our site, here in the park, is on the edge of the river which we can see out our back window. It has to be at least a quarter mile across the river with I-84 on the Oregon side and train tracks on both sides of the river. Speaking of trains, they seem to run continuously, but somehow we've become accustomed to the noise and don't pay it much attention anymore.<br />
<br />
One of the more interesting parts of this destination is that our trip has coincidentally happened at the same time as the annual <a href="http://www.critfc.org/fish-and-watersheds/columbia-river-fish-species/columbia-river-salmon/">salmon run</a>. Every year in the Columbia River, thousands of Sockeye, Coho, and Chinook Salmon migrate back to their native waters to lay their eggs to begin their life cycle over again. Once a salmon is hatched, they will spend the next 1 to 6 years of their life in the ocean until it is time for them to lay their eggs where they will begin their journey to the same rivers and stream where they were hatched. It's an incredible story of the perseverance, endurance and instinct of these creatures. It has been documented some have traveled over 900 miles up streams and 7000 feet in elevation to lay their eggs. Once they spawn, they will die shortly thereafter. There have been 8 dams built on the Columbia and "fish ladders" have been installed in all of them. The <a href="http://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/Locations/Columbia-River/Bonneville/">Bonneville Dam</a> we visited near the town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dalles,_Oregon">The Dalles</a> has such a ladder, and also an underwater viewing area to watch the Salmon navigate the ladder. Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nx5P7n8PPI">link</a> to You Tube video that shows the fish going through the ladder. There is a narrow section of the ladder forcing the fish to travel by a window where someone actually counts the salmon going through the ladder. <br />
<br />
Friday, we're pulling up stakes again and plan to travel to the Pacific Coast to the town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Beach,_Washington">Long Beach, Wa. </a>where we have reservations at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dalles,_Oregon">Cranberry RV Park</a> for three or more days. We're looking forward to partaking of some of that good seafood we find along the coast lines.<br />

Friday, we had a nice scenic drive of about 230 miles from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeur_d%27Alene,_Idaho">Coeur D' Alene, Id.</a> to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakima,_Washington">Yakima, Wa.</a> The majority of the trip was west bound on I-90 which made for a relatively easy pull. I was a little apprehensive about traffic through Spokane, but was not an issue. We arrived at <a href="http://suntidesgolf.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&pageID=1&table=_rvPark">Suntides RV Park</a>, which is adjacent to and associated with a nice golf course, about 2:30. The RV park is a gem with full hook ups and large paved sites. It's one of the nicer parks we've visited and for $37/night is a good value. This area is in a large valley that is well known for it's fruit orchards with apples being the primary crop grown here. The population of Yakima is about 95,000 with over half being of Hispanic descent and are primarily employed as workers in the orchards. This valley is in the middle of a desert region and would be a desert as well if not for one interesting fact. The snow melt from <a href="https://www.nps.gov/mora/index.htm">Mount Ranier</a> runs into the valley and is primarily used for crop irrigation. They have constructed a reservoir so they do have some reserve. I have no idea the acreage in orchards, but it's huge. There are orchards everywhere you turn and we saw many apple packing houses.<br />
<br />
We're staying here two nights with our primary objective being to visit Mount Ranier. Had we known how scenic this valley was, we would have booked more than two nights, but we have reservations for our next stop, so we couldn't stay longer. This is my main objection to making advance reservations, but that's the way the RV life is now. at least in this region. Our visit to Mount Ranier was very enjoyable with perfect weather and reasonable crowds. I do have some pretty decent photos to share with you guys. I'm not sure if I mentioned in our previous blogs or not, we are traveling with our Cajun friends, Terry and Kathy who finished their work camping gig at Rollins RV Park in Montana. Terry and Kathy are good people and we enjoy their company. Kathy is posting a blog of their journey and can be seen <a href="http://terryandkathylivingourdream.blogspot.com/2016/09/enjoying-montana-with-our-friends.html">here</a>.<br />

We left Cody on Wednesday (8-31) and logged about 350 miles to reach <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_Lodge,_Montana">Deer Lodge, Montana</a> on I-90 where we spent the night at <a href="http://indiancreekcampground.net/">Indian Creek Campground</a>. We normally don't make trips this long in one day, but there were no available parks closer. This was an overnight stop, so we were up bright and early to continue our trip of 180 miles to <a href="http://www.rollinsrvpark.com/">Rollins RV Park</a> in Rollins, Mt. where we met our buddies, Terry and Kathy Derouen. Our friends were work camping at the park and we signed up for a weeks stay. Rollins is on the shores of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flathead_Lake">Flathead Lake</a> and is in the middle of some of the most picturesque country we've visited. It's about fifty miles from <a href="https://www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm">Glacier National Park</a> which we visited two years ago. A buddy asked me the other day if I've visited a place where I would rather live and I told him nope, not yet, but this part of Montana would be pretty high on the list if I were looking for such a place. The weather here has turned cool with highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's. I've had to break out the jeans and put up my shorts, which I'm not real happy about! Maybe as we go back south, I can get them back out!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On Friday we went to the little town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfork,_Montana">Bigfork</a> at the head of Flathead Lake to see a musical play at the <a href="http://bigforksummerplayhouse.com/">Bigfork Summer Playhouse</a> named "Hits From the 50's, 60's and 70's" that was pretty good. It was the last production of the season. We also made a day trip to Glacier National Park where Terry and Kathy took us to a section of the park I've never heard of called <a href="https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/manyglacier.htm">Many Glaciers</a>. It's actually part of Glacier National Park but you have to travel outside the main park to reach this section of it. The road going into Many Glacier's is paved, but is undoubtedly the roughest paved road we've ever been on! Once reaching the end of the road we were treated to a postcard like scene of snow capped mountains in front of a lake with a Swiss style hotel on the shore of the lake. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain and very windy, making any picture taking difficult. I encourage you bloggers to follow the link<a href="http://www.glaciernationalparklodges.com/lodging/many-glacier-hotel/"> here</a> to see the pictures and read about this hidden treasure. Afterwards, we went into the main part of Glacier in the east entrance and came out the west, which is backwards from the direction most visitors take. One side note about this area, there are deer everywhere you turn here. There are so many, locals consider them a nuisance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That brings us to the present. We left Rollins today and have stopped for the night in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeur_d%27Alene,_Idaho">Coeur D' Lane, Idaho </a>at the <a href="http://www.idahorvpark.com/">Blackwell Island RV Park.</a> We will continue on tomorrow to Yakima, Wa. where we will stay for several days before heading into the Columbia River Gorge region for some sight seeing there. </div>

Well, It's pretty much gone the other way now with
temps in the high 80's in the day and 60's at night with low
humidity. It's actually about perfect and supposed to be in low 90's
later this week. The only complaint is there are five wildfires
still burning in <a href="https://www.nps.gov/yell/index.htm">Yellowstone</a> Park generating plenty of smoke, making
visibility and photography a challenge. Speaking of wildfires, the
park lets the fires burn in a contained manner. It's considered to
be a part of the natural evolution process. In fact, the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/lodgepole.htm">lodge pole pine</a> trees depend on extreme temperatures, like fire, to release
their seeds. The south entrance
into Yellowstone has been closed about a week, and is still closed.<br />
<br />
Saturday we went to <a href="https://cowboymusicrevue.com/">Dan Miller's Cowboy Music Revue</a> at the <a href="https://centerofthewest.org/">Buffalo Bill Center of the West</a> that was great. Afterwards, we went to the
well known rodeo here in Cody that was quite good. We haven't been
to a rodeo in ages and this one is way cool. Sunday, we
loaded the truck with snacks and drinks and headed out for Yellowstone. The park is huge and would take many days to see it all. We were here two
years ago, and decided to go into some sections of the park we
haven't seen before. For our newer blogger friends that weren't
following us then, you can read about it <a href="http://popandmeemeeontheroad.blogspot.com/2014/08/yellowstone-north-loop.html">here</a> and <a href="http://popandmeemeeontheroad.blogspot.com/2014/08/yellowstone-south-loop.html">here</a>. The park was nowhere
near as crowded as our last visit. I assume that's due to it being
later in the season and the wildfires. Monday, we went to <a href="http://beartoothhighway.com/">Beartooth Pass</a> via <a href="http://www.travelwyoming.com/listing/yellowstone-national-park/chief-joseph-scenic-byway">Chief Joseph's Highway</a>. This is considered to be one of the most scenic drives in America, and it was magnificent again. This drive is easily in our top five most picturesque destinations. Fortunately, the wind shifted
to the east Monday blowing the smoke out of the area and was the prettiest day we've had since arriving here. The temperature on
top of the pass was a cool 62 with a brisk breeze, but was still
comfortable. The pass had been closed due to snow last week for one
day.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we're saying goodby to Cody and heading north into Montana where it will take us two days to reach our destination, <a href="http://www.rollinsrvpark.com/">Rollins RV Park </a>in Rollins, Mt. We plan to meet our Cajun buddies, Terry and Kathy Derouen who have been work camping there. I understand they're ready to retire again and hit the road! We'll spend the night tomorrow night somewhere along the way, close to I-90.<br />

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cody,_Wyoming">Cody</a>. Since our arrival Tuesday, the daytime highs are running in the 60's
and lows at night in the 40's. In fact Montana DOT closed the
highway at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beartooth_Highway">Beartooth Pass</a> due to snow! We're running our fireplace
here in the RV to keep us comfortable. The weather here has been
unseasonably cool for this time of year, and is supposed to warm
back up this weekend. We're planning on going to Beartooth tomorrow, so
hopefully we should have some interesting photos to share from
that trip.<br />
<br />
We have a neighbor here in <a href="http://www.cody-wy.com/">Absaroka Bay RV Park</a> that has a most
unusual and interesting hobby. His name is Jeff Parker from
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingman,_Arizona">Kingman, Az.</a> and Jeff raises and hunts <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris%27s_hawk">Harris Hawks</a>. We first
noticed Jeff outside with one of his birds and had to meet Jeff
and find out more about the hawks. Jeff is a very nice guy and
seemed happy to tell us about the hawks and his passion for them.
He has five hawks that travel with him in his Toy Hauler RV. The
garage part of his RV is the area where the hawks live. Jeff takes
the birds out in the desert and primarily hunts quail, jack
rabbits and cottontail rabbits. When one of his birds
makes a kill, he lets the bird eat his fill and then Jeff takes
the remains and freezes it for them to eat later. Jeff has
trained the birds where they will return to him on command, but
does put a miniature transmitter on the hawks when hunting and
training. He has a receiver that will indicate the direction of
the bird if they get out of sight. The females are about one
third larger than the males, and is the only way to tell them
apart. Jeff told me the only way he can identify his individual birds is by their
mannerisms. When young, they have more red in their color, but
are primarily brown when they mature and are the only raptors that
are social as they live in groups and are more tolerate of humans
as a result. The Harris Hawks are native to Western Texas,
Southern New Mexico, and Arizona. Jeff is licensed by the state
of Arizona for falconry and has a breeders permit issued by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. He's been working with hawks about twenty year. Falconers consider working with birds of prey a lifestyle. <br />

We met another interesting neighbor here in the park recently, at
of all places, a barber shop. On Wednesday we went to Frank's
Barber Shop here in Cody, when a nice lady entered and asked about
a haircut and Frank said he could accommodate her. She got to
talking and said she was from North Carolina! I asked where, and
she said from Waxhaw, just east of Charlotte in Union County, which is
maybe sixty miles from where we live. She also said she is a full
time RVer and I told her we were part timers, and asked where she was staying. Turns out to be
the same park we're in! Small world, huh! She said she sold her farm and travels the
country by herself and was very comfortable pulling and backing
trailers as she had horses on her farm and trailered them to
different areas. I told her good for her and wished her well. <br />

We were last here two years ago with our good friends, Al & Pat Kralovic, and wanted to come back and experience it again. We got so caught up with the beauty of the Idaho side of the Tetons that we didn't spend as much time here as we had planned. Monday, (8-22) we hit Idaho & Wyoming 22 going over <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teton_Pass">Teton pass</a> en route to <a href="https://www.nps.gov/grte/index.htm">Grand Teton National Park</a>. As mentioned in an earlier post, Highway 22 is incredibly steep and curvy with the crest sitting at over 8,400 feet ASL. <a href="http://www.wyoroad.info/highway/webcameras/Wyo22TetonPass/Wyo22TetonPassAll.html">Here</a> is a link to the web cams on top of the mountain. Now, I don't claim to be the sharpest pencil in the drawer, but I witnessed some pretty dull pencils on our way across the pass. We came upon three older Class A's motorhomes that had managed to make it to the top, and were sitting at a pull off as if contemplating "what now"! I doubt these motorhomes had exhaust brakes, due to their age, but even if they did, it would be risky. They were not there when we returned, so I assume and hope they made it OK.<br />
<br />
Luckily, the smoke from the wildfires wasn't too bad, so we had decent conditions to view the beauty of these majestic mountains. Seeing them for the first time on this trip reminded me how different they appear from each side. They seem to rise straight out of the valley floor on the Jackson side, whereas on the Idaho side, they gradually taper off with smaller mountains and hills that extend miles before reaching the valley floor. Each side is spectacular, but in different ways. There is no doubt the Jackson side is more scenic and photogenic with it's snow capped peaks against blue skies. One place we wanted to return to was the <a href="https://www.fws.gov/nwrs/threecolumn.aspx?id=2147509813">Jackson Hole & Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center</a>, which is home to the <a href="https://www.fws.gov/refuge/national_elk_refuge/">National Elk Refuge</a>. The refuge is managed by the National Fish & Wildlife Service and is a large area of the valley floor where thousands of elk migrate each winter. This is the same valley we mentioned in our last trip where the elk shed their antlers and are then collected by Boy Scouts to be auctioned as a fund raiser. Afterwards, we spent many hours touring the park and photographing many beautiful scenes. This is truly a spectacular area in spite of the tour buses and throngs of sightseers.<br />
<br />
We left <a href="http://www.victorcityidaho.com/">Victor, Idaho</a> Tuesday and traveled to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cody,_Wyoming">Cody, Wyoming</a>, where we are now. The trip here was mostly good, but we traveled through quite a lot of smoke. Our route was parallel to the Tetons until we reached the town of West Yellowstone where we headed east through Yellowstone Park to reach Cody. We will be here until August 30 when we will pull up stakes and head for Montana.<br />

We arrived safe and sound here in Victor, Idaho on Thursday, after a pleasant and very scenic drive from Salt Lake City. The majority of the trip was on I-15 to Idaho Falls with the last 70 miles through some of the most scenic country we've seen. Idaho is indeed known as the potato state and we can attest they have earned the title. The country we traveled through is mile after mile of potato and wheat fields and is starkly beautiful with the contrast of dark green potato fields adjacent to fields of golden wheat. Nearby Bingham County claims to produce one third of the nation's potatoes and is the largest potato producing county in the nation.<br />
<br />
We are only about ten miles from the Wyoming state line and about twenty miles from Jackson, Wy. Victor and Jackson are connected via Highway 22, that crosses a very large mountain of over 8,000 feet above sea level with ten percent grades on both sides. I wouldn't recommend pulling or driving an RV across that mountain! The Teton Mountain Range separates the two states with the Grand Teton National Park being on the Wyoming side. There is a big benefit staying on the Idaho side of the Tetons, of which, not much of the crowds or commercialism has found their way here. It's an unspoiled community that is pretty much as it was years ago. Some of the tourist activity has spilled into Victor, but is minuscule compared to Jackson. The region is very scenic with views of the majestic Tetons for miles against the green and gold fields of potatoes and wheat. The only issue we've had is decreased visibility due to smoke from multiple wildfires burning in Yellowstone National Park and one smaller one in Grand Teton NP.<br />
<br />
We are staying at Teton Valley RV Park, a nice park with drive through full hook up sites. we're paying about $60/night with our Good Sam discount. It's a pretty steep price, but nothing else in the area was available with the price being driven by supply and demand.<br />

The resort is very popular with the mountain biker enthusiasts in the summer. We were there for the view of the west side of the Grand Tetons. We had to ride the chair lift to the top of the mountain for the view. The ski season runs from Thanksgiving to mid April. They average over 500 inches of snow in the winter! The lift ticket was $15 for all day. We only went once!</td></tr>

80mph. We moved over in our customary right hand lane, set the cruise on 62
and waved at them as they passed and blew their horn at us! When you're pulling 15,000 pounds behind a pickup truck, you tend to be a little more conservative! We exited back on 191 and picked up highway 6 in the town of Castle Gate and rode it to I-15 to Salt Lake City. It was a good trip of about 240 miles until we hit I-15 near Provo. The traffic on I-15 was pretty bad. There were 4 or 5 lanes in each direction, and most of them were full. It's about 45 miles from Provo to Salt Lake City and one would never know when they left one city and entered the other as it is solid development the whole distance. The Oquirrh Mountain Range is close to I-15 and runs parallel with it. We did see some snow on the higher elevations, We are camped at the Salt Lake City KOA campground which is a pretty large park with decent sites. Probably a notch above typical KOA's. We're paying $125 for 3 nights which includes our 10% discount and points of $25.<br />
<br />
Salt Lake City is a beautiful city that sits at the foot of the Wasatch Mountain Range and is home to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, better known as the Mormon Church. There are several city blocks downtown that are all church related properties. In, fact the city has pretty much evolved around the church as the early Mormons were the first settlers in this area in the 1800's. <br />
<br />
We have been on the go since arriving here with trips into the Wasatch National Forest, Antelope Island on the Great Salt Lake, exploring Temple Square, the Capital area, and a trip to Wally World thrown in to reload on supplies. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow (8-18) we're back on the road heading into Victor, Idaho for 5 days. This area is close to the Grand Teton Mountain Range and Jackson Hole, Wy, one of our favorite areas.<br />

There were some pretty good hills on the Monument Valley side of the trip with some short 9 & 10% grades where we put the exhaust brake on our Chevy to a test, and she performed flawlessly. We are staying at <a href="http://www.moab-utah.com/moabrim/">Moab Rim Campark</a> about 3 miles south of town on Highway 191. This park is pretty small with about 25 pull through sites with full hook ups. The park is very clean, well kept and is well managed with friendly staff. We paid $39.00/night, less our 50% Passport America discount for 3 nights and the full rate the other 2 nights. Very nice park that is a hidden jewel!<br />
<br />
Moab is in the eastern part of Utah with an elevation of around 5000 feet, has a desert like topography and climate. It's very much a tourist town with the National Parks of <a href="https://www.nps.gov/arch/index.htm">Arches</a> and <a href="https://www.nps.gov/cany/index.htm">Canyonlands</a> as major attractions. The area is also popular with mountain bikers and off road enthusiasts who enjoy riding the extensive networks of trails and dirt roads. The Colorado River passes through Moab and is frequented by folks riding rubber boats and kayaks. There is not much white water on this section of the Colorado though. The close by La Sal mountain range, considered part of the southern Rockies, has peaks in excess od 12,000 feetis and is also close to Moab.<br />
<br />
Our time here has been spent going to the National Parks, exploring the countryside, and taking a very good nighttime dinner/tour tour on the Colorado River with the <a href="http://canyonlandsbynight.com/">Canyonlands by Night </a>tour. The biggest mistake I made was not allowing enough time to see and experience all the attractions here, which gives us an incentive to return! Picture taking here has been a challenge. There's a lot of haze or something in the air that makes everything look cloudy. The Ranger told us it was from the heat rising off the desert floor.<br />
<br />
We're pulling out Monday (8-15) bound for Salt Lake City for 3 days and then on into Idaho. We're noticing cooler temperatures as we've turned north, which are very welcome. It was a chilly 60 degrees here this morning but heats up to the mid 90's in the afternoons with low humidity.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Entrance to Dead Horse Point State Park. Our National Park geezer passes were not accepted here, so we had to pay $10 to get in.

They would then rope and corral the better horses and leave the rest to die with no food or water, thus the name. </td></tr>

The blue stuff in the background are ponds that have flooded salt mines.

The salt is non-consumable and is used for road de-icing, etc. </td></tr>

very pleasant trip from Albuquerque. We traveled I-40 (uphill
again) to Gallup, NM where we picked up 264 to 191 to 163 in
Kayenta, Az. and from there into Monument Valley on 163. It was a full day of 320 miles, but traffic was not bad
and we were treated to some beautiful jaw dropping scenery along
with gorgeous weather. We took our time with plenty of pit stops
and had a great trip. Probably my most favorite thing is
traveling and experiencing the country, and yesterday was one of
the best. We stayed at Goulding's Monument Valley Camp Park which
is an OK park, but the the sites are pretty small and unlevel.
They do have full hookups with a nice pool and restrooms. We
payed $111.34 for two nights, which is kinda high,
but......it's all about location, location, location! Monument
Valley is right on the Arizona/Utah state line and is in the
Navajo Nation, which is huge in size.We're only here for two nights and have to cram a lot of sight seeing into a short amount of time. Tuesday, we traveled highway 163 to Forest Gump Hill for pictures, on through the community of Mexican Hat and to Four Corners. Four Corners is where the states of New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Utah meet. It's a novelty thing with no particular significance, but is worthy of a trip. Four Corners is part of the Navajo Reservation where they have built a nice park, and where Navajo vendors sell their wares in booths. We didn't want to go into Monument Valley until later in the afternoon so we would have better light for pictures, so the trip worked out well. Monument Valley has to be one of the most picturesque places on earth and is very high on our favorites list. We were here four years ago, and couldn't wait to return. If you folks haven't been, I would highly recommend it. It's also part of the Navajo Nation and many tours are offered through the park. Most of the tour vehicles are Navajo individually owned pickup trucks with the bed removed and a platform installed with bench seating and a cover on top. The cost of the tours range from $60 each to $160 depending on length of tour. We opted to drive our truck through the park as I have to stop every 10 feet to take pictures! I told Crickett at the rate we're going, we're going to have to buy new cameras before we get to the west coast!<br />
<br />
We have since traveled to Moab, Ut. where we are now. We are here until Monday and hope to do some more heavy duty sight seeing in this area. Stay tuned for more!<br />

uphill climb on I-40 from Amarillo. This is our first west bound
trip on I-40 through this part of the country and don't know if
the wind blows like this all the time or not, but it sure has been
blowing on our trips. Albuquerque sits in a valley at the base of
the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandia_Mountains">Sandia Mountain Range </a>and is shielded from the winds, so it's
not been so bad here. The weather here this week, could not have
been much better with highs in the upper 80's and low 90's with
low humidity. In fact, I've had a problem with my contacs drying
out and lips chapping due to the lower humidity. I did want to
mention the elevation change here. The elevation in Amarillo is
3600 feet and is 5300 feet above sea level here in Albuquerque. We
actually saw elevations of over 7,000 feet on I-40 before crossing
the Sandia Mountains! I have been totally impressed with Amarillo.
It's a clean well designed city in that the streets are laid out in
north/west grids and is not difficult to navigate. There is a lot
of traffic, but it's well managed and flows well, unlike some
other large cities we've been in. The people here are very
cordial and friendly and the cost of living is reasonable. If
someone were looking for a place to relocate, this would be a good
option. The summers here are rather hot, but are not unbearable. I
have noticed the majority of the structures are stucco with either
tile or flat roofs to protect from the heat. There is a large
Hispanic and Native American influence here, which is part of the charm. I will have to say this has been one of our
more enjoyable destinations.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our first excursion was to ride the tramway up to <a href="http://www.sandiapeak.com/">Sandia Peak</a>, over 3,000 feet higher than the valley floor. The experience
and view was awesome. I had to do a little coaxing to convince
Crickett the ride wasn't too bad and she didn't seem to mind once underway. The tramway has two large cars that can carry
about fifty passengers at a time or up to a maximum of 10,000 pounds.
There was a twenty degree temperature differential from bottom to top, and you know who didn't bring a jacket. It was about sixty
degrees at the top with a good breeze, and was a mite chilly!
Crickett was smart and took her jacket.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our next excursion was to ride the <a href="http://www.nmrailrunner.com/">Railrunner Express</a> train from
Albuquerque to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Fe,_New_Mexico">Santa Fe</a>. The train is mostly used by commuters
since the state capitol is in Santa Fe, but is enjoyed by others
as well. Our cost to ride the train was $7.00 apiece for the round
trip, quite a bargain! On the return trip, we boarded a "quiet car"
where no talking, cell phone noise or other racket is allowed.
Really seemed strange in that all you could hear was the
occasional locomotive horn at road crossings. You could have heard
a pin drop in there! The train does go beyond those two stops. The
namesake of the train is the roadrunner bird, the state bird of
New Mexico, of which there are many in the area. Some of the local folks refer to the train as "The Thunder Chicken"! Our visit to
Santa Fe was to visit the historical section where there are many
historical churches, buildings, and all kind of shopping. This venture made a great day trip even though we were intimidated by
unfamiliar events and surroundings. We also toured the
historical section of Albuquerque that was similar, but different
from Santa Fe.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're pulling out Monday morning headed for <a href="http://www.navajonationparks.org/htm/monumentvalley.htm">Monument Valley</a>, Utah
for three days and then on to <a href="https://utah.com/moab">Moab, Ut</a> for five days, and from
there to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Lake_City">Salt Lake City</a> for three days. I do have the rest of the
trip planned out through Labor Day, but won't bore you with those
details. The biggest challenge of this trip from our others
has been finding accommodations at RV Parks. There are many more
RVer's on the road due to their increasing popularity and lower
fuel prices. I have to make reservations well in advance now,
whereas in the past, it was make them a day ahead. I'm hoping it
will not be as big an issue after Labor Day when all the kiddies
return to school. We're planning to meet our Cajun buddies, Terry
and Kathy Derouen, in Montana and hope to travel some with them. We met
Terry and Kathy in Michigan last summer. Those of you who followed our blog on that trip will remember them.<br />

It is 120 miles long with a maximum width of 20 miles. It has a maximum depth of 800 feet and is 3500 feet above sea level on the rim. It's the nation's second largest canyon. The drive going into the park is very steep with 10% grade and is very curvy. There are several camp grounds in the park but I don't think I want to pull our rig into that hole! The park is very scenic with lots of wildlife and is worthy of a day trip. One of the highlights offered by the park is the production of their nightly play entitled <a href="http://www.texas-show.com/">Texas</a>". <span id="u6013-9">This family friendly show is </span> set against an
authentic tapestry of history. The show’s fictional characters bring to
life the stories, struggles and triumphs of the settlers of the Texas
Panhandle in the 1800's. Song and dance abound-and a generous helping of
good ol’ Texas humor too-with cool lighting, special fire and
water effects, including the Dancing Waters of Texas! Nightly
fireworks highlight the Grand Finale.The play started about 8:30 and was over about 11:00. <br />

Actually
we're in Albuquerque,NM for a week of sightseeing and R & R. One
of my first priorities is to catch up the blog. The trip from Oklahoma
City to Amarillo was good but did have some unexpected challenges. It
seems the wind blows most of the time out here on the plains, and it was
making up for lost time on our travel day. The velocity meter at the
rest area said it was howling at 30mph, and of course, it had to be a
headwind! On top of that, there is a subtle elevation change of about
2000 feet which made the trip more interesting. The elevation change is
so subtle you really don't notice it, but our trusty steed did. Our poor
ole Chevy Duramax was really laboring, but she came through with flying
colors. Our fuel mileage was about 9.5mpg, down from our normal
11.5mpg. Speaking of fuel, the diesel prices have been all over the
place, but have been pleasantly lower than expected. We've been on the road about 2 weeks now and have already logged over 2,000 miles on our truck. I'm attempting to
keep a log of our fuel and campground expenses and will share them at
the end of the trip. <br />
<br />
Our destination in Amarillo, was
at<a href="https://www.myrvoasis.com/"> Oasis RV Resort</a>, a very nice park about 10 miles west of Amarillo
close to I-40. One of the highlights of this stop was to hook up with
our Texas Buddy, Bob Curry, whom we met about four years ago in Colorado
Springs. Bob is a native Texan and kind of took me under his wing to
teach me some Texas traits. He's a good ole boy, and on top of that,
he's pretty smart too. <br />
<br />
We've traveled to <a href="http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/palo-duro-canyon">Palo Duro Canyon State Park</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Ranch">Cadillac Ranch</a>. and The <a href="http://bigtexan.com/">Big Texan Restaurant</a> while
here and it was all good. I do have a lot of pictures to share of our
adventures, but there is so many I've decided to break this blogpost into
two different posts so the files won't be so large.<br />

We left Ozark, Ar. yesterday (Thursday) and hit the I-40 super slab bound for Oklahoma City. The trip was about 275 miles under clear sunny skies and was a pleasant drive with minimal traffic and multiple pit stops! I've been dreading that stretch of I-40 as the last time we traveled that section of road, we were about beat to death due to the rough road, but was much improved this trip. This morning, we awoke to storm warnings of high wind and heavy rain and are sitting here waiting for the storm to pass, so I thought I would post a blog, because I have an interesting story to share.<br />
<br />
We are camped at the Roadrunner RV Park right off I-35 in Oklahoma City. This is a very nice park with full hook ups and is very clean and in good condition. The staff in the office were very friendly and helpful with the story I'm about to share.<br />
<br />
It was May 6, 2015 about 8:30 PM when a devastating tornado struck this area with the park being in the middle of the destruction. A nearby hotel, storage facility and the RV park were mostly destroyed. The park had 68 RV's there when the storm hit. There was enough advance warning to notify the folks camped there to seek shelter in the park's shelter. Part of the folks heeded the warning and took shelter in the cinder block constructed bathroom and others in the underground shelter. Eighteen chose to stay in their RV's and as a result, were all injured, some seriously but thankfully all survived. The RV's were not so lucky. They were all destroyed or damaged beyond repair. This area is in the middle of "tornado alley". The lesson that should be learned from this experience, is if tornadoes are forecast, to seek shelter as soon as possible. Today, the park has been rebuilt and one would never know what happened here, except for the absence of trees. The park has built a new expansion with a new office club house that will be open soon. Many thanks to Yvonne Goncales for sharing this story as well as the pictures.<br />
<br />
We are going to pull out as soon as this storm clears and hope to make it to Amarillo, Tx for several days.<br />

This park is a hidden jewel with wonderful large paved sites, shelters over the picnic tables, and for $10/night (old fart pass again) is a steal. Somewhere on the east side of Little Rock, traffic came to a complete stop and I-40 looked like a parking lot! As it turned out a large dump truck loaded with sand had turned over and had the entire west bound lanes blocked. I don't think anyone was hurt, but it had traffic backed up for miles.<br />
<br />
This part of Arkansas reminds me very much of eastern Tennessee with lush green rolling hills and is very rural. There is a dam and lock here across the river that is used for flood control as well as generating electricity and is a way of passage for boats and barges navigating the Arkansas River. The facility is operated by the Army Corp of Engineers. The locals tell me the fishing here is good.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the temperatures have moderated with highs in the low 90's. The high predicted today is 87. The humidity is still high, but is bearable. Looks like it's going to get hot again as we head further west. Speaking of leaving, we're pulling out in the morning, after 3 nights here, and headed for Oklahoma City for one night. From there we plan to visit Amarillo, Tx. for 3 nights where we plan to hook up with our Texas buddy, Bob Curry. We're not looking forward to the rough road conditions on I-40 in Oklahoma.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Hello from Arkansas! Well just barely, we are in West Memphis, just across the state line from Tennessee and are at <a href="http://tomsawyerrvpark.com/">Tom Sawyer RV Park</a> on the banks of the Big Muddy! We left home a week ago today, and have had a great trip so far. Our granddaughter, Bailey, has been traveling with us this past week but had to go home yesterday to start getting ready for college next month. We really enjoyed her company and was sad to see her leave.<br />
<br />
Our first night was spent in Sevierville, Tn. where we stayed at <a href="http://www.riversidecamp.com/">Riverside RV Park</a>. We showed Bailey around the Pigeon Forge area, where the crowds and traffic were as crazy as ever. We had a nice dinner at Cracker Barrell and turned in early to get ready for the second leg of our trip . We left the next morning headed to Nashville, where we stayed at<a href="http://www.lrn.usace.army.mil/Locations/Lakes/J-Percy-Priest-Lake/Campgrounds/Seven-Points/"> Seven Points Corp of Engineers </a>campground located on Lake Piercy. We booked our site for 2 nights and enjoyed using our America the Beautiful pass (Geezer Pass) to get the senior rate of $11/night. We decided the best way to show Bailey around was to book a tour of Nashville. I checked Trip Advisor and found a tour highly recommended with good reviews. The tour was <a href="http://www.reallyentertainingtours.com/#!walking-tours/rymwf">Really Entertaining Tours</a> and lucky for us, they had a slot open for us the next day. The tour was on an electric vehicle similar to a souped up golf cart. Our guide, Ryan, went the extra mile to give us an excellent overview of the legacy and history of Music City and showed us a great time with his entertaining wit and knowledge. If you know anyone going to Nashville, and looking for a tour, have them hook up with Ryan for a good time. Early Wednesday morning we hit I-40 headed west to Memphis, where we are now. I haven't mentioned the hot weather, but it's been so oppressively hot that we didn't want to be out of the AC for very long and has affected our outdoor activities. We did book another tour in Memphis with <a href="http://www.backbeattours.com/">Backbeat Tours</a>. Our tour was a group of about 35 and was on a bus with marginal air conditioning. The tour was called the Mojo tour and traveled to areas where the blues genre of music was born, as well as other historical points of interest.. We had a professional musician on the bus who entertained us with songs of the era and spoke to significant events that occurred in areas we traveled. The tour was OK, but not as good as Ryan in Nashville. We also visited the <a href="http://www.peabodymemphis.com/?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=peabody%20hotel&utm_campaign=Brand">Peabody Hotel</a> to check out the <a href="http://www.peabodymemphis.com/ducks-en.html">March of the Ducks</a>, which happens every day at 11Am and 5PM. If you're not familiar with them, click on the link for the scoop on the ducks. One of our favorite stops was the <a href="http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&appID=94&storeID=61&tab=3&cm_sp=Store061Feb2015_RD&cm_ven=redirect&cm_cat=mktg&cm_pla=bps&cm_ite=memphispyramid">Bass Pro Shop</a> adjacent to the I-40 bridge in Memphis. This Bass pro Shop is housed in a huge <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Pyramid">pyramid</a> and is the 4th largest in the world. It has a 300 ft freestanding elevator that goes to the top where there is a restaurant and observation decks on 2 sides of the pyramid. The inside is constructed to a swamp theme with spanish moss, cypress trees, several streams and ponds with fish, ducks, alligators and many aquariums. Needless to say, the gators are confined in a glassed in area. The structure includes a hotel, 2 restaurants, archery range and a bowling alley. Pretty cool place.<br />
<br />
We plan to hit the road again in the morning (Monday) and plan to travel to Ozark, Arkansas where we plan to stay at Aux Arc Corp of Engineers park for a couple of days. Stay tuned for more updates and whisper a prayer for our safe travels.<br />

Hello to our family and friends in
blogger land! Are you ready to share another adventure with us?
Crickett and I are in the final stages of preparation and plan to hit
the road Sunday, July 17. This trip will be ambitious in that we
plan to travel about 8500 miles which will take us through about 20
states and will take about four months. We plan to visit some of the
same areas and attractions as our 2014 trip and will further explore
those areas as well as take in many new parts of our country. Our
granddaughter, Bailey, will travel with us the first week of this
trip as far as Memphis, but will have to return home to get ready for
her freshman year at Western Carolina University. The rest of the
trip will just be my co-pilot and myself. We have several friends we
hope to connect with along the way and look forward to seeing them
again. Basically, this trip will be another large loop where we plan
to travel I-40 west to Albuquerque and then turn north into Utah,
Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana before turning west into Washington
and then travel south down the entire west coast into San Diego where
we will turn east and begin our trek back home. I've included a map
that shows our planned route, but is tentative at best. The yellow
blocks on the map are navigation waypoints and have no significance.
There is a saying among RVer's that travel plans are made in jello,
and that certainly applies to us and this trip.</div>

to wish all our family, friends, and blog followers a joyous Christmas
and a blessed and prosperous new year. It's hard to believe another year
has passed, but this year has been a good year, and one we won't soon
forget.<br />
<br />
We have a yearly tradition of venturing to the NC
mountains every year in search of that perfect Christmas tree and this
year was no exception. We made the trip this year with our daughter,
Pam, her husband, Rick along with our grandchildren, Bailey, Zach and
our grand-dog, Cooper. We went to the Twin Pines Nursery in Newland, NC
and were successful in our quest! After getting our trees we went to
the <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-mason-jar-cafe-newland">Mason Jar Cafe</a>
in Newland for lupper, which was pretty good but in no hurry to return.
On the way back down the mountains, we were treated to a beautiful
sunset that was one of the most unusual I've seen. The whole sky was
illuminated with beautiful pastel colors of all shades and was
impressive against the silhouette of the mountains. <br />
<br />
We
do have more travel plans on the drawing board for the coming year and
are looking forward to making more memories on the road exploring our
beautiful country.<br />
