Our History

My photo
Ohio, United States
Having recently retired we are fulfilling our long time dream. We began our camping life with a tent in 1969 adjusting as each of our three sons arrived over the years and gradually progressed to a 32' Class A in 2007. Even after our sons became too busy with their own interests, we continued dreaming over the years. The Louisville, KY 2003 Great North American RV Rally and the book "Movin' On" convinced us that a motorhome after retirement was really for us! In 2007 we sold our home and disposed of most of our belongings and awaited the wife's retirement on February 1, 2008. We were out in our first motorhome ten times in our first summer in 2007, with our grandson joining us eight of those ten times. Since he must stay behind with his mom and dad to continue school, we told him he can join us on vacations (by car or plane) anywhere we are as we travel the US. Imagine the history lessons he could acquire! However, Mom and Dad don't look at it that way, especially the flying. Fortunately we don't miss work one bit!! We just miss the friends there. We have many hobbies to keep us busy when we decide to sit still for a day. Hope to see you on the road.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK in NORTHWEST WYOMING

Tuesday, June 23rd, another beautiful day!  We began our drive from Idaho Falls to Yellowstone National Park in northwest Wyoming. We entered at the West Gate.
Scenery beginning to change,
more trees.

Line-up at entrance to Park
and we still have a way to go.



Driving along the Madison River.



 We begin to see hot spots along through the park.  Many were stopping everywhere to look, but we kept going for the Big One.

We finally arrive and it is quite built up from when Gary was there 57 years ago. As he remembers!
The flowers are beautiful!
There are several hot spots near the Big One also.  We still had at least forty minutes to walk around. So we checked out the Lodge and then decided to watch the Geyser from the second floor balcony at the Lodge. 

They told us ten minutes either way,
before or after this 12:02.
 It is beginning to warm up!



Then at 12:06 pm it begins to blow!  We certainly were not disappointed!


Just about over, too quick a show!


























On our drive from the show we were in a string of cars and then came up on another show!  This fellow had just crossed the road and we had to stop for all of the pictures takers.  I am so used to taking pictures as we drive, so we only waited on others.



Awesome scenery and the clouds always make it more so!

We later got behind this participator in the TransAmerica drive from Novia Scotia to San Francisco. They were staying at a hotel across from ours in Idaho Falls.  They were up and gone long before us the next morning.

We went back to our Idaho Falls motel and rested until time for dinner.  This time we checked out O'Brady's and were much more pleased than the previous evening.
On our last morning we decided to make an unscheduled stop at the Golden Spike National Historic Site in northern Utah. It was just 35 miles off our scheduled route.  Turned out that it was well worth it and enjoyable.  Check out the next Blog for that stop.
