Day 84 of Our RV Journey to Canada & Alaska - 8/04/14 Traveling from American Falls OR to Rawlins WY

This morning we were on the road at 8:20.  The guys had to drive in sprinkles & rain a good part of our trip.
Today we traveled in the states of Idaho, Utah, & Wyoming.  Somehow we got off course from each other, but we all ended up at the same destination.  Total Miles Traveled Today = 398 miles.

We saw three antelope in Wyoming.

I took a few pictures along our route today:

 

This is the historical Paris Tabernacle located in Paris, Idaho.
It was a Morman tabernacle  In 1889, this Romanesque Mormon tabernacle was constructed of red sandstone that had to be transported by wagon or sled from a quarry 18 miles away.  Designed by Joseph Young, the Gothic style church was constructed by the town’s first Mormon settlers over the course of five years.

Bob & I arrived at RV World Campground around 4:00 pm.  Jesse & Ginger were already checked in and set up when we arrived.  ($31.10/night w/ Good Sam Disc. - 50 amp Full HU, cable, WiFi)

We entered a new state, UTAH, today!!!

Bob did the honors of adding Utah to our RV Travel Map.

Since this was our last meal together on this RV journey we went to Captain Jack's BBQ for dinner.  We are all  headed to Mountaindale tomorrow near Colorado Springs, which is where Jesse & Ginger normally workcamp during the spring/summer season.  We have 3 nights reserved in this campground and look forward to visiting some of our RV friends.  We will miss Jesse & Ginger but we all plan to winter in Texas at the same RV park.

Have a great rest of the day!!!

Day 82 of Our RV Journey to Canada & Alaska 8/02/14 - Travel Day; Staying in Idaho

This morning we left  LaGrande, OR at 8:20.  Other than taking a couple of 10-15 minute breaks we were on the road the entire time.  We pack a lunch (as usual) so we don't lose time finding a place to break for lunch. We all agreed it was a boring drive today as there was not a lot to look at...much of the scenery is farm ground.   We also saw a couple of dairy operations.

We arrived at our destination,  Indian Springs Resort & RV at American Falls, ID, at 4:20 pm.  Since we have been on the move for a few days, we are staying in this RV park for 2 nights to rest up a bit. ($30.00 x 2 = $60.00 Cab  Full Hook Up/30 amp)

Some pictures I took today:

That's about it for today, folks. Have a good weekend!!!  Sitting here at our camper I'm hearing little kids yelling, laughing, having a great time....love the sound of little kids; makes me really miss my two grandchildren, Terryn & Kolton.  The days are getting closer to getting to be with them again.

Day 81 of Our RV Journey to Canada & Alaska 8/01/14 - Travel Day to LaGrande, OR

Today we were all early birds whether we liked it or not.  We left at 5:00 a.m. in order to get through Seattle without having a lot of traffic.  It turned out that we should of left earlier yet, because there was a lot of traffic.  We got through the traffic with no problems though, thank the Lord.

We are in a new state ...OREGON...so I get to place a sticker on our RV Map of States Traveled.

We traveled 385 total miles today and got to Eagles Hot Lake RV Resort outside of LaGrande at approx. 1:00 p.m. ($30.00 Full Hook Up, WiFi, Cable- Cab).

After getting the rig set up, Bob went to fill up truck with diesel for tomorrow's travel.  ($4.059/gal x 37.074 gal = $150.48 Ch)

When Bob got back, he grabbed the camera to take some pictures of a large nest with a adult bird and baby.  He's not sure what kind of bird it is.

Some pics I took along the way today:
