On day three, just Barbara and I traveled to Norris Geyser Basin, Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower Falls, around Mt. Washburn to Gibbon Falls. On this day we finally saw some wildlife. I have been to Yellowstone National Park more than ten times and this is the fewest animals I have ever seen. However, this isContinue reading “Yellowstone National Park (Day 3)”

Yellowstone National Park (Day 2)
On day two we took a bus tour along the Madison River, the Midway Geyser Basin, the Upper Geyser Basin, which includes Old Faithful, along the west shore of Yellowstone Lake, and up to Artist Point in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the Lower Falls.
Yellowstone National Park (Day 1)
Recently, Barbara, Ellie, and I got the pleasure of exploring Yellowstone National Park (YNP). There’s no way you can see this park in one day, so we did our exploring over a period of three days, and that is how I’m going to break it down here. The first day, the three of us exploredContinue reading “Yellowstone National Park (Day 1)”
Cedar Breaks National Monument
This past Monday, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled east across the Hurricane Fault to the Cedar Breaks National Monument. The Hurricane Fault is normal, strike-slip fault that separates the Basin and Range Geomorphic Provenance, to the west, from the Colorado Plateau, to the east. Cedar Breaks sits at the top of the Grand Staircase andContinue reading “Cedar Breaks National Monument”
Kolob Canyon
Last week, Barbara, Ellie, and I took a short drive to Kolob Canyon. Kolob Canyon is part of Zion National Park, but is a 45-minute drive north of the south entrance to Zion, but is well worth the detour. The Kolob Canyon Scenic Drive is only five miles long, but the beauty of the redContinue reading “Kolob Canyon”

Our adventure began in Red Canyon near the intersection of highways 89 and 12, just a few miles west of the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park. At this location we began our adventure at theContinue reading “Scenic 12 Byway”
The Grand Canyon
This past Tuesday, Barbara, Ellie, and I travelled north to the Grand Canyon. Even though Barbara and I have been here before, numerous times, we never seem to get tired of it. In fact, I have spent close to 50 days in the Grand Canyon and have studied it a lot. On this trip, weContinue reading “The Grand Canyon”
Indiana Dunes National Park
Last week, Barbara, Ellie and I traveled west to visit the Indiana Dunes National Park. This is a pretty park that is, surprisingly, surrounded by several steel mills. On this day the temperature hovered around 91 degrees with 80% humidity so we didn’t stay around for long. In fact, the last thing we did wasContinue reading “Indiana Dunes National Park”
Newberry National Volcanic Monument
A few days ago, Barbara, Ellie, and I took the short drive to the nearby Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Due to the amount of snow on the ground most of the park was closed, meaning you can visit but all of the shops and attractions were still closed. So we drove through the park, IContinue reading “Newberry National Volcanic Monument”

Lake TawakoniAt the end of January, we were staying at an RV park, approximately 50 miles east of Dallas Texas, called Lake Tawakoni. One night while we were there it rained all night and when we woke, the small creek behind our trailer had turned into a raging stream. There was a Great Blue HeronContinue reading “Recent Travels”
