June 27, 2020 We left camp early, around 6 am, so we could avoid the crowds at Old Faithful. It was about a 40 minute drive from Bridge Bay campground to the Old Faithful area. It was a good choice to leave early. The next Old Faithful geyser prediction was about 20 minutes after we …

Mammoth and Lamar Valley
June 25, 2020 We left camp at 7 am and saw a couple of large elk on the way out of camp. We wanted to get a early start so we could avoid the crowds. Our plan was to head north to Mammoth and then east to the Lamar Valley area. Our plan was to …
Mid – Lower Geyser Basin
June 24, 2020 In the morning we drove into West Yellowstone and gassed up the van. We also went to the Museum of Yellowstone. The museum was in the old Union Pacific Railroad Depot. Much of the museum was based around the changing methods of transportation to and in the national park. It was very …
Southeast Idaho
June 22, 2020 We left on our trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks on Monday afternoon. We needed to tend Rosie while Kayla went to a meeting, so we didn’t get out of the house until about 3:30 pm. The drive north on I-15 was a little crowded, but not too bad. As …
Kuna Cave
June 10, 2020 We woke up early so we could hit the hot springs one more time in the cool of the morning. However, we had left our towel and swimsuits outside to dry and it ended up raining hard during the night. I didn’t even hear the rain, but Eva did. The sun was …
Bonneville Hot Springs
June 9, 2020 After eating breakfast we drove 40 minutes up the canyon to Challis. We ended up spending about 2 hours parked at the church using the internet to update the blog, and Eva was on the phone with Verizon trying to decide if we would change our cell plan. Before leaving Challis we …
Craters of the Moon
June 5, 2020 We had a slow morning as we cleaned up the van and enjoyed at late breakfast at the campsite. Our goal for the day was to drive to somewhere near Idaho Falls so we could meet Alyssa and family, along with Kayla and Rosie, at Yellowstone Bear World near Rexburg. Our morning …
Blue Heart Springs
June 4, 2020 When we woke up in the morning, the 1:30 am group from last night were gone. We didn’t hear them leave in the morning, so we guess that they launched their raft in the middle of the night and floated down the river. It was a bright moon, so I guess there …
On to the Border
Feb 18, 2020 We were up early and left camp around 7:30 am. Just a few miles north towards Mexicali we stopped at Mi Ranchitos for a couple of menchaca burritos for breakfast. We continued up the highway until we were just south of Mexicali. From there we turned east on highway 4. This took …
Bahia de Gonzaga
Feb 15, 2020 We called the beach at Papa Fernandez Mark Twain Beach because of the rock formation at the south end of the beach that looks like Mark Twain. Today we hiked to both ends of the beach. On the south end I climbed a sand dune to the top of the cliff that …
