August 1, 2023 - GEESE, SNAKES AND SAGE

Morning temperatures …

Exterior: 50*

Interior: 53*

Elevation: 6,580’ 

Our departure was a little earlier than usual. We left camp at 9am. That’s early for us. Made a quick stop in Jackson, Wyoming for coffee and … wait for it …

(I did not chase the truck!)

Then we drove the Hoback Canyon south following the Hoback Creek. The diverse and beautiful scenery changed around every corner all the way into Utah. 

In Rock Springs, Wyoming we fueled up. The end of our drive today landed us in Vernal, Utah at Steinaker State Park. 

Once settled we had a few visitors. First all the geese. Jett sat and watched them so patiently in the reservoir. Never a bark or whine. Then not once but twice a Great Basin Gopher Snake came into camp. Tim said he was five feet long. I say ten feet. Lol The first time he tried climbing up on the underside of the truck! Noooo. I still have chills about that. Gzzz. 

Since we arrived early enough to enjoy the afternoon here we had time to walk the campground and check out the amenities. I even grabbed some sage to dry out. 

Tomorrow will bring another travel day! 

July 31, 2023 - TWO FOR ONE ( (Part 2)

Grand Teton did not disappoint. We’ve been here two times before. There were storms passing through when we arrived. The mountains still looked spectacular backed by the dark sky. 

 Gros Ventre Campground in Wyoming is where we landed for the evening. It’s in Grand Teton National Park. We will only be here one night. What an amazing show we had at sunset … 

July 13, 2023 - TRAVEL DAY TO CASPER, WY

The drive today from Alamosa, Colorado was long but well worth the effort and the scenery was beautiful. The interstate follows the base of the Rocky Mountains north. We passed through Colorado Springs and Denver arriving in Casper, Wyoming. 

We stopped for the night at Gruner Brothers Brewing. Yes … we drank, we ate and Jett even got some good pets in at the brewery.

The views from the deck are the best! And not to bad from the Airstream either. 

Tomorrow we will arrive at my sisters place in Montana!
