Go, See, Do, Experience!
Lost Dutchman State Park Campground, Apache Junction, Arizona - I was so excited to go there. We drove through the campground back in 2021 when we flew down here to look for a homebase. I have tried to get reservations but they are always filled up. Finally, 6 months ago when the booking window opened,... Continue Reading →
Sitting outside HOWE (footnote 1) and enjoying the perfect weather in Cottonwood, Arizona, we then decided to go for a drive. We took off and turned down a road to Black Canyon Forest Service Road. Immediately the road was rough with tons of pot holes and washboard as the road went down into the canyon.... Continue Reading →
I had written on the fridge white board “Dinner: Hot Tuna Buns.” LOL As a reminder, years and years ago I had found a recipe for Hot Tuna Buns. I thought perhaps it would be like a tuna melt and I thought it sounded good. When Kevin asked what was for dinner that night back... Continue Reading →
I sewed a 55-inch table topper quilt for the fall. You know, in HOWE (footnote 1) our dining table isn’t that big! HAHA This was a kit that I got while shopping with my friend, Bridget, in Spearfish, SD. I rarely make quilts from kits but this one caught my eye. It will be a... Continue Reading →
Travel Day Apple Valley, UT, to Cottonwood, AZ. We set the alarm for 7:00 a.m. but it was still dark outside. So we slept 1/2 hour more and it was at least light out. We headed out just before 8:00 a.m. and were glad we didn’t leave any earlier as the sun was straight in... Continue Reading →
Time to be flexible!!!! There was a huge tropical storm in the pacific that dumped a ton of rain on the southwest. Lots of flooding. We had been watching it and the amount of rain. Why? Because we had planned to boondock at Goosenecks State Park in southern Utah right above the Colorado River. The... Continue Reading →
Just a few of my many photos taken in stunning northern Utah. The elevation I was standing at was anywhere from 5000 to 7500 ft above sea level. The mountain tops are over 11,000 ft elevation. Besides the breathtaking beauty, Kevin and I had a marvelous time visiting my parents, siblings and their spouses, and... Continue Reading →
Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, was our next place to stay. We got to Lava Campground (as opposed to KOA Lava Campground that comes up on google) at check in time, 3:00 p.m. The email instructions said to go straight to our site. The trees on the mountains are gorgeous! You have the green pine trees... Continue Reading →
As we left Manhattan, Montana, thankfully it wasn’t foggy but we could see our breath outside. Time to move SOUTH, we said! HA We got into a little rain in Blackfoot, Idaho, but it didn’t slow traffic down at all. We got to Massacre Rocks State Park campground in American Falls, Idaho, and didn’t see... Continue Reading →
We headed on I-90 West for this Travel Day from Garryowen, MT to Manhattan, MT, near Bozeman. The landscape was very dry; we don’t know if it is always that way or just the end of summer. Even the grazing grass was dry. In Hartley, MT we started getting into much bigger ups and downs... Continue Reading →
