Follow our travels while we roam.

Still on the road west







Not much to report. We are currently in Elko, Nevada which is not near anywhere. We have successfully traversed Montana, Idaho and Utah. Just south of Butte, Montana we stopped at a rest stop and saw a large group of Pioneer roses. Passing into Idaho we saw information about all of the trout streams in the area and it reminded Carol of the Robert Redford movie “A river runs through it”. Later we passed a large lake and saw a flock of white pelicans. They are quite a distance from the nearest coast. At the park in Idaho Falls Charles talked to one couple who were making their first long RV trip and he talked to another Rver who wanted advise about taking his motor coach to and through Yellowstone on his way to Billings, Montana. The next morning Charles had pancakes and juice cooked up by the park. They do that every morning. This morning we passed the Great Salt Lake and I thought you might like a view from the road side park. We have also experienced one more time change as we are now in the Pacific time zone. Yesterday we stopped at the campground in Hill Air Force Base and we made a grocery run to the commissary. We also washed the coach that was quite dirty after three weeks on the trail and several rain storms. So far we have not experienced any restaurant food. We will be in Carson City tomorrow afternoon and will stay for a week while we visit with Nancy and her family. The first big event is a car show that Nancy and Bryan are putting on Sunday.
