June 23rd ~ Williams, AZ ~
The Grand Canyon
Our trip was almost at an end, and as so often seems to be the case, everyones energy level had faded. Shirley was not her spunky self, Tim had been fighting allergies that had probably gone into a sinus infection, and I was just plain old feeling worn out. We decided to reroute a shorter direction towards home. BUT, first we had to see the GRAND CANYON! Continue reading
June 21st ~ Bryce Canyon ~
Bryce Canyon National Park ~ Bryce Point
It’s all about the colorful rocks and hoodoos here in Bryce Canyon (which is technically not a canyon at all, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters). Much smaller than nearby Zion NP, it receives only half as many visitors each year. It also sits at a higher elevation ranging from 6600 feet to 9100 feet at Rainbow Point, the far end of the park.

George S Eccles Dinosaur Park
Our only stopover for the day was to check out the George S Eccles Dinosaur Park. This was not one of our favorites, but it did give us a chance to stretch our legs for a bit. Continue reading
June 16 – 18th ~ Yellowstone National Park ~
Old Faithful
We managed to land an RV spot at Madison Campground for three nights thanks to Tim’s patient charm and a ranger that went over and beyond being helpful.
For two and a half days we showed Shirley the highlights of our favorite National Park. There is so much so see here, but we realized that hiking long distances, climbing a lot of stairs, or navigating over rough terrain would be too much. We chose places based on natural beauty, uniqueness and ease of access. Continue reading

Buffalo Bill Center of the West

Somewhere along the road between Devils Tower and Cody
This was a travel day taking us three hundred miles from Devils Tower to Cody Wyoming.
About the only significant event was seeing a moose along the road at 60 mile-per-hour and the beautiful scenery. Sorry did not get a picture of the moose. Continue reading
June 12th ~ South Dakota to Wyoming ~
Devils Tower, Wyoming
The wolves were howling again when I woke up. They were in harmony and rather pleasant to listen to until the campground owner’s dogs started barking. And so started my morning. Continue reading
June 11th ~ South Dakota ~
Wildlife Loop in Custer State Park
Yesterday we had been so enamored by Custer State Park that we decided to return to see more of it. The southern portion of the park has a Wildlife Loop where buffalo can often be spotted. Continue reading
June 10th ~ South Dakota, just outside of Custer State Park ~
Custer State Park viewpoint
Another full day. We all came back to the RV pretty bushed last night, so now I’m playing catch-up on my blogging. I might just do a condensed version today – or not… Continue reading
