Click here for my pictures with descriptive captions.
A note about pictures. Over the 4 months we were on the road, I took thousands of pictures. I have to limit the pics because I would bore everyone with all thousand and I would run out of space on Picasa quickly. I put up 64 this time, but will try to do less from now on.
The last update I uploaded was from Glacier National Park. This one comes a day or two after we leave Yellowstone and the Teton National Park area.
Barbara and I return to Yellowstone National for a 4 day visit to one of our favorite places. Our route will take us to Helena MT and then to West Yellowstone. Because of our late day arrival, we will stay outside the park in the Baker's Hole Forest service Campground. We get up early the next day so we can be at Norris Campground early enough to get a site. Everything works and we are in Yellowstone Norris for 3 nights and 4 days in the park. All the memories of our past trips to Yellowstone are refreshed and we are truly glad we returned. I hope everyone will look at the pictures with descriptions.Yellowstone does not disappoint us. Over the last 32 years we have visited 4 times.
After we leave Yellowstone and Teton, we venture south along the Green River and the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. This area is full of interesting surprises and we take longer than planned. There is more to do than I ever imagined. We spend most of one day at the Flaming Gorge power dam Visitor Center were we take a tour and watch the construction on film. We spent Sept 20th and 21st in the area.
Our next target is Lake City Colorado. There we will meet up with Jay and Rahel and the will spend part of 3 days with us. Jay has a work project in Albuquerque and another one in Denver. He likes to visit Lake City because he is looking a land to purchase. Lake City is an old gold mining town that over the last 100 years has not changed much. No much gold now days but still lots of people that come to Lake City for the summer months. A few of the mines are starting back up because of the high price of gold.
We were to meet up at the Highlander RV Campground and Jeep rental. This was our first hookup to the services in 120 days. It was nice to have the steady electric and water. The water came from a spring about 60 feet above the campground. It is a nice place run by some very accommodating people. We will spend 3 nights in Lake City. 9/23 - 9/26
The fun starts when Jay, Rahel, and the realtor arrive. Maybe Jay will do an update for those 3 days. That visit will be one that Barbara and I don't forget.
