From Tehachapi, we headed North to an Army Corp of Engineers campground on Kaweah Lake, just outside Sequoia National Park. It was a great place to stop for two days and NOT try to bring our 30 foot trailer into an old national park. One thing about national parks. The older, the smaller the roadsContinue reading “Sequoia and Yosemite”

Vegas and Tehachapi
One thing has become clear. Karin needs her chiropractor. All the walking in National Parks has aggravated Karin’s hip, and we needed to get to a Gonstead Chiropractor, and the nearest we could find was in Las Vegas. While she managed getting medical files from home down to the clinic in North Las Vegas, IContinue reading “Vegas and Tehachapi”
Zion National Park is always busy
First, Zion National Park is stunning, and everyone who can should visit. Second, everyone seems to know about point number one, and they are all coming to visit. That makes for one damn crowded park, even in the off season. It has been fun visiting Bryce Canyon, Capital Reefs, and Zion National Parks inContinue reading “Zion National Park is always busy”
Bryce is Great, Unless you have Acrophobia.
First, lets just cover the basics. Bryce Canyon National Park in Southern Utah is stunning to see. Everyone should go. But if you go, know this; there are lots and lots of viewpoints out over the canyon where the only thing between you and the abyss is a National Park Service railing. Now these railsContinue reading “Bryce is Great, Unless you have Acrophobia.”
Capitol Reef National Park is really big
We visited Capitol Reef National Park as our first big rock canyon. We had originally planned to go to Moab this year with Dennis and Carol and some of their friends, but one Dan Stephens got sick. Get well Dan. We’ll save Moab, Arches and Canyonland National Parks for next year with all of you. Continue reading “Capitol Reef National Park is really big”
Utah is a really nice place
Snow was forecast in Jackson in few days which we took that as a sign from God that we needed to get South to Utah. The drive out of Grande Teton area to the south is amazing. You follow a winding river down to Bear Lake near the corner where Wyoming, Idaho and Utah meet. Continue reading “Utah is a really nice place”
Grande Teton before the early snow
Time for a change of scenery, so we hitched up, and finally waved goodbye to Henrys Lake State Park. It was a lovely place to stay.. We’ll be back to Yellowstone National Park, and we won’t wait 30 years this time. On to Grande Teton National Park. These two are twin sisters and aContinue reading “Grande Teton before the early snow”
Yellowstone, In the Fall
It’s hard for us to believe, but it’s been 30 years since Karin and I went to Yellowstone National Park. After Tim Valadao’s wedding in Idaho, we headed East from Corral Creek Ranch in the Camas Prairie toward the world’s first National Park. Being a little late to plan the trip, we knew we’d notContinue reading “Yellowstone, In the Fall”
