My Life and Travels
I spent some time working on vacation pictures getting them up on my website. I have a bunch of space at microsoft’s live.com so that is where I think I will put pictures for a while. I also have a bunch at a google site.
The GOOGLE site is: HERE
Live.com site with 2013 vacations
Nice sunny day – frost this morning, in site 112.
The park is empty only three people here.
Here is Mt. Baker
Hank and I went out twice.
Time to get the grill out for steak and wine :-).
Yes Flagler is open;
However not to many people got the memo.
Actually the state website still says the campground is closed and will NOT open until March 1, 2014.
It is a nice day on site 114
With four other groups in the campground. Time to take Hank for another walk.
Beautiful day at Flagler, site picture.
This is the notice about the winter camping season-
This is good news, with an old guy pass we only pay $10.00 a night. The old guy pass went up to $75.00 this year.
UPDATE:
This was originally written on my phone. I am updating it on my IPad WiFi’d through cell phone. Interested in what will happen to the pictures. When writing on my phone if I put pictures in a post and then save it as a local draft the pictures don’t get attached to the post. Anyway we’ll see what happens.
Weekend at Flagler, site 89.
Notice on the bulletin board says the park will be open all winter for CAMPING.
Weather report for this weekend was for wind and rain.
Looks like most people watched the news and heard about the bad weather. This morning was rather nice with a few light showers. This afternoon it is raining cats and small dogs.
This week’s campsite:
Have not been here since July. At site 87 for what is going to be a stormy weekend.
I didn’t close out vacation.
Saturday we drove 552 miles in 12.5 hours coming across Chinook Pass. As a footnote Chinook pass should get some snow tonight. We used only 303 gallons of gas. We usually use between 400 and 450 gallons when we venture out into eastern Utah and/or northern Arizona.
I know change is usually good, however Google has changed the structure of photo sharing again. They want to force you to share through Google Plus and all I want to do is to allow sharing through a know link. I found this link information last night and tonight I’ve looked to 5 minutes and still can not figure out how to find the albums URL. I want to add the URL to this post so only people who have been to this blog can see the pictures.
4 minutes later, I found it.
Hopefully this is the link to a short photo album of our Fall 2013 vacation.

Today is the last day of the doing nothing part of vacation. Tomorrow morning it is up at 6:00 a.m. and on the road by 6:30. Should get home around 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.
Here is this evenings view,
I did not take view picture last night however here is a weather sat screen shot.
The blue area is where it is hailing. The heavy stuff went mostly around us. We have had great vacation and it is back to work on Monday at 6:30 a.m.
Turned out to be a sunny day. Big rain storm 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 and the rest of the day has been sunny with thunder storms way off in the distance.
Our view:
The dam taken during our morning walk.
This is the campground at the base of dam.
Oh, ya here is the walk.
This got my attention last night probably because of the Navy reunion I am going to next month. So far 32 people say they are going. This is group I was stationed with in DaNang from Oct 1971 – Nov 1972, ” a long time ago”.
I remember wanting to get out of the Navy because everything is structured and someone is ALWAYS telling you what to do. Oh, and when to do it, how long you can do it, that they are better than you. The air force has a recreation area right next to this park. This is a sign posted on a very nice covered picnic area.
I can think of lot better ways of saying this.
