Lees Ferry, AZ – Thursday September 21, 2017

Both of the great front row sites came open this morning and I was right on the bigger of the two, Number 45. 

We will be here awhile so might as well have the best view in town.  

Today I am going to Lees Ferry Fly Shop to get an Arizona fishing license and guideness on where to fish and what flys to use.  

The wind s blowing hard today. We have had guests in the 45 – 50 range, glad we moved yesterday we would have had to stop if we were driving today.

 

Lees Ferry, AZ – Wednesday September 20, 2017

150 miles to Lees Ferry with a beautiful drive past the Grand Canyon and the Vermillion Cliffs.

Thursday is going to be windy so today is a great day to be moving.

We are in site 37.
I just realized I do not have an IPad photo editing app.  The location marked on the picture is were we stopped while deciding which site to settle into for the night.  We are actually across the road where the blue line passes though a campsite. 


The view out the door, our big windows are on the other side of the Motorhome.

Zion National Park – Wednesday September 6, 2017

Today was travel day to Zion National Park for two week.  It is really a beautiful place.
On the way we made three stops, Lowes, Safelite Auto Glass and Walmart.   Lowes was to look at microwave ovens the microwave convection oven was acting up for a week or so my not working, we threatened it and has worked for the past week.  If it quits again it’s gone.  Safelite to get a motorhome window chip fixed and Walmart for groceries.
Watchman campground.
We are in site B44 for the next two weeks.
This picture was taken with my Ipad, not a bad picture.

CATHEDRAL GORGE STATE PARK, NV – FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2017

We ventured out today exploring two state parks northeast of here.  Echo Canyon is 12 miles off the main road Hwy 93 and Spring Valley is 19 miles.

Echo Canyon has a new area about 2 years old which has water/electric/and sewing.  Looked to have three bars of cell service however I don’t know if has the same data problem that Cathedral Gorge was having (this is being written on Thursday September 7) will we were there.  We could get a data connection for 10 to 15 minutes in the morning and a couple minutes in the evening.  Jean was only getting about 20% of her daily Jack pictures.

Here is new campground area.

Than we drove onto Spring Valley State Park, it has zero cell service.

Most of the campsite were small for our motorhome, but there were a few good sites.  

I-90 Rest Stop and Quartz Flats NFS Campground – Wednesday June 28, 2017

Time to move on:
Heading towards Tanya, Mike and Jack’s for a week.  Celebrating Tanya’s and Jack’s birthdays.  Jack’s first birthday and Tanya’s more than first birthday.
This is a I-90 rest spot and Forest Service Campground, at mile post 60.
We are in site A7, a nice large pull-through, great since I will not have to unhook the pickup.
On Friday September 15, 2000 I set on this picnic table at 10:30 at night and had my first beer with my daughter.

Palisades BLM – Wednesday June 14, 2017

Moved campgrounds today.

We left Bakers Hole Campground with our first stop in West Yellowstone for gas and propane.   The entrance to Yellowstone was really backed up.  In May you can just drive up to a pay station and into the park, today the 5 entrance pay stations were backed up a 1/2 mile all the way back into the West Yellowstone stop light.

Now at Palisades BLM

 

We are 27 miles south of Ennis, Montana
I didn’t see the three old campsite circles until we had been here for over a week.  I was looking on google earth to see what was around this area and I saw the three shadows of campsite circle.
When I got to Tanya, Mike and Jack’s I had enough WiFi to look on google earth on my laptop.  The full PC version of Google Earth allows you to review all the past pictures of a specific area.  These sites were installed and taken out before 1995.
