Landscape of History: The Nez Perce Video In theory the trip from Lowman to Winchester, Idaho takes an hour and a quarter. For us it took more like six hours of driving plus stops. The scenery was fabulous! Riggins, Idaho was a great place to pause for lunch at the...
At day’s end we’re at Mountain View Campground Site #5 on bank of the Salmon River just east of Lowman, Idaho. It’s a serene end to a day that had its frustrating moments. After lunch we continued our drive north through the Sun Valley area and on through absolutely...
Our choice of Snow Bunny Drive-In Hamburgers for lunch was based solely on its oh so convenient location on the right side of the highway in Hailey, Idaho. We didn’t even bother to check reviews. But now it’s definitely on our personal map! It well deserves to be...
See Park Video Ten years ago when we last visited the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, the Visitors Center was housed in a temporary building that it shared with another monument. Today we thought we had the opportunity to visit their new location in downtown...
There are places in Idaho where it seems water just gushes out of every crevice. This morning we drove the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway stopping to capture the glory while dealing with private lands and light coming from the wrong direction. We have a choice whether...
Oh! What a wonderfully relaxing experience! We’ve just enjoyed an hour and a half soak in some incredible mineral hot springs. It’s been about six weeks since we’ve had the opportunity to use our own hot tub so we felt really ready for the experience. We visited...
To the public in 1869 the concept of crossing the continent by rail in a mere two weeks must have seemed much like a trip to infinity. Perhaps even To Infinity and Beyond? Just a few miles north of The Golden Spike Monument is a Rocket Garden on the grounds of a...

As we departed Anne's house in Salt Lake City yesterday afternoon, she was amazed that we didn't yet know where we were headed. It turned out our journey was pretty short but it got us north of the Salt Lake area, into the Wasatch National Forest, and to the Box Elder...
The scenery on the trip from Rock Springs, Wyoming to Salt Lake City, Utah is nothing short of spectacular! We did consider doing a side trip to Fort Bridger and in fact got off the interstate and drove through Lyman toward the fort not knowing that Fort Bridger is...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

While we are here staying at the Mitchell KOA Journey in Mitchell, South Dakota over the Labor Day weekend, we conversed with several fellow travelers and learned that for most folks, this is just a quick stop along the way either on their way to or from Mount...
What an unexpected delight! When we headed to Marlin's Family Restaurant in Mitchell, South Dakota for a Sunday brunch, we never expected to enter a time warp, but suddenly Steve was transported back to childhood with the two-toned green 1956 Chevy Bel Air parked next...
