  • Yellowstone National Park Day 8: Part 2

    West Thumb Geyser Basin, WY, May 2025 Kate wanted to take a break after the Storm Point hike to wait for most people to leave the park. After coming back, we received a unannounced visitor … (dun dun DUN!) Kate answered the door, and it was park maintenance. It turns out that the water spigot…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 7

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 Today’s plan was to get things done around the trailer and visit the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center. The fishing Bridge Visitor Center was built in 1930 / 1931. The structure helped define what was called the National Park Service Rustic style. This building design was then used in other…

  • I See Fire!

    Guernsey State Park, WY, May 2025 Well, not really. It looks like a volcano erupted and a lava flow is coming for you or maybe a raging forest fire in the distance. This was the sunset on the day before we left Guernsey State Park. The sky was overcast with low clouds, so the sunset…

  • Brimmers Point

    Guernsey State Park, Wyoming, April 2025 The above panorama picture was taken by John at the very top of the bluff. The placard below the steps to the top talked about annually driving a car off and into the reservoir. It’s no longer done but wow what a fall. I wonder how much area had…

  • Million Dollar Toilet

    Guernsey State Park, Wyoming, April 2025 Guernsey State Park was a CCC park. One of the structures created was a stone toilet that soon became known as the “Million Dollar Biffy” because of the amount of time it took to finish the project. These are pit toilets, still functional and now maintained by the Wyoming…

  • Oregon Trail Ruts

    Guersney, WY, April 2025 Guernsey has some of the best trail ruts I have seen so far. The wheels created about 3-foot-high ridges in the rock. I feel sorry for the animals that had to pull the wagons. The area had many signs about what was like and history of traveling west. I thought you…

  • Rocky Mountain National Park

    Estes Park, CO, April 2025 Rocky Mountain National Park is about 35 miles west of Longmont, CO. (Longmont is about 40 miles north of Denver.) Due to the winding roads, the drive to the park takes about an hour from Longmont. Some of the views on the drive were stunning. To get to the eastern…

  • Acting like kids again!

    Salina Campground, KS, April 2025 Everyone who knows me has experienced my uncontrollable urge to goof around on playground equipment and just being silly. The campground had a large number entertainment from workout equipment to photo stand in boards, swing set and large chairs. I hope you enjoy seeing our antics. Since we are in…

  • Yesteryear Museum or Tractor Cemetary

    Salina, KS, April 2025 Driving into the park, the first thing we saw was a sign stating “Museum” and a lot of rusty old farm equipment. I was wonderful if it was a tractor museum or cemetery. Turns out it was a “Yesteryear Museum”. I believe the building in the far back also had antique…

  • Day 1 – Lake Thunderbird State Park, OK Sunset

    Lake Thunderbird State Park, OK, March 2025 We have a great view of the lake from our trailer dining room take. Though these pictures were taken as we were talking around the park.
