Trip-Day 4 Report

On day 4 we left the Riversedge RV park at 10:40 am. , entered the very close freeway and headed to Coeur d'Alene.  We reached the rv  park where we have resv. at about 1:40.  Freeway driving is what it is...no stops, no views, nothing much to tell about.  We did stop at a truck stop in Hagen MT for fuel where we discovered they had a big free parking rv spot... boon docking only, in the pines behind the stop.  We visited with a man feuling up in a really big bus camper that had been there the night before.  He travels between Lake Havasue and Washington and knew about the free place.  When we drove away we could see bookoo giant sized motorhomes  back there... looked like a park for the rich, if not the famous, lol.  When we got to the park, HRH, of course, hit a pine tree pulling into the parking spot.  It scraped the canvas on the awning a bit, knocked down a sign that was hung on the tree, and he ran over a big plastic flower pot, which I pulled out from the tires once he allowed me to get out and help direct him.  Nothing major, but certainly cause concern at the moment.  We have noisy neighbors with lots of kids, 8>{{.  I think they are going to the amusement park today.

Here is some pictures I found from Whiterocks too.

Oops, I think this is Rock Creek..

Trip-Day 3 Report

We puttered around Livingston this morning, found a few yard sales, nothing fabulous, bought diesil and groceries then headed towards Coeur d'Alene, leaving Livingston about 12:30.  Mostly just traveled without incident until we reached the Riversedge RV park on the west side of a small place called Alberson.  The RV park is very nice indeed, with a lovely view of the river, a resteraunt where we had a nice meal.  We wallked around the park, a very small walk, then HRH played on the poker machines which is what the casino is all about.

Here are many of my newest photos:

Elk at Mammoth springs... they are everywhere, everywhere!

Trip-Day 2 Report

We left  Riverton at 9 am.  OUt side of there someplace we passed through 3 short tunnels through the rock mountains as we headed towards Cody, then Thermopolus.  HRH put on his new oxygen machine for first time, on the road.  Nice quiet running machine.  At 12:20 we deisiled up in Cody, then sped through the town, quick quick quick, for fear of seeing someplace we might want to stop and look around, looked like a fun town to visit sometime when our foot was not so hot for the gas pedal.  We passed through the short tunnels in the Wind River Canyon after we left Shoshoee, then when we left Cody-three more tunnels, the last one so long it caused my claustrophobia to kick in!  Hated that!  2:00pm we entered the east entrance of yellowstone at which point another "see how fast we can get through this" mode turned on.  We arrived at the north exit of yellowstone at 4:42 inspite of getting stopped by a herd of buffalo which we think numbered abour 200 or more and they seemed to be having fun runniing from one side of the road to the other at random so the traffic was stopped for about 15 min. until the park police made everyone move on.  We also had sightings of pelicans, eagles or hawks, geese, ducks, a wolf  with people stopped along the road and a grizzly which had people stopped along the road, but we managed to buzz right on by both without being slowed down hardly at all.  The buffalo sounded so mean as they sort of bellowed in a low grumpy sound.  At 6 pm we fueled up at Emigrant and kept on trucking hoping we would find a place to stay.  I had given up hope by this late, but in Livingston, the first place we tried had some spots.  We finally made it to a restuarant about ten min. to 9.  The food and the service was pitsy.  HRH has promised to stop earlier today!  We are heading towards Great Falls today.

Trip-Post #1

We left our house about 9 AM Thursday morning.  Driving over the Gorge was beautiful as usual but more so, as the day before they had a major storm and the wetness brought out the reds and greens more vibrant than usual.  We got diesel in Rock Springs, bought a burger and continued on to Riverton, arriving about 3 pm.  We found a rv site, lucky us!  HRH called Cavenaugh, whose back yard actually borders the rv property, lol.  We went to his house, met his new lady Jackie, visited for a couple of hours then they led us to one of four indian casinos here in this town where we had a food court burger again and played slots for a couple of hours.  Together, HRH and I come out ahead about $50.  This morning we are heading around the town to see if there are any yard sales, then will start moseying to Cody, up through Yellowstone to Gardner or Livingston.  Cavenaugh's lady said there have been lots of bear problems in the park this year so to be very careful.  PS I love my new air card now that I have actually figured out how to connect to it!

Rocking With Sir Paul!

Oh yeah, this was lots of fun!  The pictures compliment of a stranger who sent them to me via email.  What a fun thing is the internet!  The weather was perfect-not too hot, not too cool.

The side jumbo views made it easy to watch along with the smaller screen on back of stage with very interesting videos of young Beatles.

He changed guitars on every song and sang continously for over 3 hours!  We arrived at the stadium at 5:30, got to our seats around a bit after six, watched people for over an hour until the concert started, then left about 11:15 and he was still singing!  He sang us right out of the parking lot and out to State Street, lol.  Leaving early let us miss the traffic jam, TG!

A song with fireworks... was so awesome!  I love this!

It was a great outing and I am so glad we got to go!!

And fire works!  Fabulous!

Sketching At Rock Creek

I spent a few minutes drawing while camping.  This is the result.  Had lots of fun playing with the car girls over the week end.  What a lively bunch!
