The second half of June started out a bit chilly. Jim and Kathy welcomed an adorable goldendoodle puppy to their family. My sister, Marcia, joined us for two nights and cooked us dinner both nights... delicious😋 Thank you Chef!
Kyle and Kelly joined us Father's Day weekend for a fabulous smoked brisket dinner.
We continue to fish for trout, fillet trout,
brine, smoke and eat trout; enjoy impromptu concerts and our friends at Lake Simtustus. Randy celebrated his 62nd birthday and was presented with a very nice bottle of tequila by Jim and Kathy.Läs mer

We bid Boring a fond farewell to begin our summer/autumn road trip. We're heading to Colorado and Mt Rushmore but aren't sure of our itinerary, we'll plan as we go.
Our first stop was Hot Lake, Oregon.
We explored the towns of Union and LaGrande as well as Hot Lake Springs, and drove a 17% grade to Morgan Lake.
All were interesting and historic, especially Hot Lake Springs as they have have a history museum and bronze works by David Manuel. http://www.hotlakesprings.com/
We were hoping to take a dip in the hot springs but with temperatures in the 90s we passed.Läs mer

Friday we stopped in Baker, Oregon to tour the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Best Oregon Trail museum we've been to and certainly makes us appreciate the luxury of traveling in our prairie schooner!

We arrived at the Ambassador RV Resort in Caldwell, Idaho to a blistering hot afternoon... 102 °
Saturday we headed to downtown Boise to explore the Capital City Public Market, the Capital Building and Freak Alley. We headed back home to drop off our produce then did some tasting of Snake River Valley wines along the Sunny Slope Wine Trail. http://sunnyslopewinetrail.com/Läs mer

Tuesday we had a beautiful drive to Anderson Camp RV Park in Eden, Idaho. Our afternoon was spent at the Twin Falls Visitors Center overlooking the Snake River Canyon near the Perrine Bridge

then to the AWESOME Shoshone Falls.

Wednesday morning we took a walking tour of Minidoka National Historic Site. This location has special meaning to me as my family was imprisoned there during World War 2. https://www.nps.gov/miin/index.htm
My late father was in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team fighting in Europe during this time.

Later in the day we drove to our friend's home in Rupert. We met Ron and Joyce while having service done on our coach at "Camp Monaco" two years ago. They took us to lunch then to Joyce's Quilt Shop, the Gathering Place. It was great reconnecting with these wonderful people.Läs mer

Friday we went to Park City, home of the 2002 Winter Olympics, where we visited the museum and walked Main St. Interesting town with lots of history... silver, saloons and snow!

Saturday we headed over the Wasatch Range toward Salt Lake City to see all things Mormon. Our guide, Roger, took us on an excellent tour of the Conference Center. We also visited two museums, the Assembly Hall, Tabernacle and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. All of the buildings and grounds were beautiful. Very informative.

Headed up and east for a beautiful drive to River Camp RV Park in Meeker, Colorado.
Tuesday we explored historic downtown Meeker. We went to the White River Museum and the Meeker Hotel while strolling through town. Then we took a scenic drive around the outskirts of town and also visited Highland Cemetery where there are beautiful views of the city.

Gained 400 feet in elevation and crossed the Continental Divide while traveling to Middlefork RV Park in Fairplay, Colorado.
Thursday we strolled historic downtown Fairplay and toured South Park City.
http://www.southparkcity.org/
Friday we took a 5 mile hike through forest, meadows, wildflowers and aspen.
A beautiful hike with only a 700 ft elevation gain but at 10,000 ft felt a bit strenuous for us flatlanders.Läs mer
