A few weeks ago, while Barbara, Ellie, and I were visiting the Flaming Gorge area, we stumbled upon the Sheep Creek Canyon Geological Area. This area showcases nearly 800 million years of geologic history along the Uinta Fault. The Uinta Fault exposes tilted and folded rock layers of sedimentary rock. Tower Rock is a striking,Continue reading “Sheep Creek Canyon Geological Area”

More Flaming Gorge
Recently, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled from our campsite on the east side of Flaming Gorge, around the southeast side to the Flaming Gorge Dam on the Green River. While relaxing in camp, on the shore of Flaming Gorge, we have been visited, almost every day, by antelope. One morning we got up and foundContinue reading “More Flaming Gorge”
Yellowstone National Park (Day 3)
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)”
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”
Great Blue Heron
In 1976, when I was a senior in high school, I took a wildlife management course. At that time, the Great Blue Heron was on the endangered species list. But today, they’re doing well. In fact, just about every place Barbara and I travel to, I see at least one of these magnificent creatures. ThisContinue reading “Great Blue Heron”

A few days later, we drove through Owl Creek Canyon where Owl Creek originates. AContinue reading “Red Rock State Park”
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”
Mt. Hood Scenic Drive
I haven’t posted in awhile because Barbara, Ellie, and I have been traveling across country, to Indiana to get some repairs made to our trailer. Living in and RV and traveling is a great way to enjoy our retirement years, but the maintenance on the RV is exhausting and time consuming. A few weeks ago,Continue reading “Mt. Hood Scenic Drive”
Oregon Coast
This week we have spent most of our time exploring the Oregon Coast. We took a train ride along the coast from Rockaway Beach to Garibaldi. We drove to Tillamook and toured the cheese factory and we spent some time at Tolovana Beach. First, we took Ellie on her first train ride. It was onlyContinue reading “Oregon Coast”
