Emigrant Lake County Park, Oregon, we have a nice view from our front window. It is Memorial Day, boats everywhere. We will be here for the rest of the week. No rain expected this week. We (I) will need to wash off all the grime; both car and RV are really dirty. Dragging Bottom

As long as I can remember, I have wanted to visit Crater Lake National Park. I remember seeing pictures of the volcano when I was in grade school. It was a lake, on top of a mountain, with no streams into or out of the lake, it is filled with crystal clear water. To further

After stopping in the middle of Oregon sage country, we drove through Bend, Oregon, south to LaPine State Park in LaPine. The Deschutes River flows through La Pine and Bend, generally from south to north, along the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range all the way to the Columbia River which divides Oregon and
LaPine State Park (correctly spelled without a space) is in a tall pine forest south of Bend. We were only able to get a four-day reservation. We didn’t know the reason, and couldn’t believe that the park was full, on weekdays, in the middle of May. As a backup plan, I knew that the north
Cattle Barons Halfway between Boise and Bend Oregon, there is nothing except sagebrush, cattle, and cowboys. Most people, even RVers, would make the journey from Boise to Bend in one day. We stayed two nights giving us some time to poke around and experience the area including the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Glenn/French ranch

In Boise, Idaho, we stayed at Gowen Field which is an Air Force Reserve Base, located right next to the Boise Airport. It is a nice, small area which has a small problem in that it is right next to the Boise Airport. We loved the place except for the noise. We frequent Boise, because
We have been to Twin Falls, Idaho multiple times including stops in our RV going to the solar eclipse in 2017. This time, unlike in August 2017, the Shoshone Falls had lots of water flowing over it, creating some good photo opportunities. In 2017 nearly all the water in the Snake River had been diverted
How to cross the Snake River? Three Island Crossing State Park is the place the pioneers on the Oregon Trail favored. Drinking water for the pioneers and all their livestock was a primary consideration in route selection on the Oregon Trail. Without water, all would die. In Idaho, the pioneers used two major routes, called

Stuck in Traffic While in Burley we drove south towards Utah and visited City of Rocks National Preserve. This is operated by the National Park System by the federal government.

We moved from the country to a small farm town. Burley Idaho is on the Snake River to the east of Heyburn is on the north side of the river Burley is on the south side. We stayed at Heyburn Riverside RV Park. Burley is a little bigger. In my view, both are very nice,

We are camping at Curlew Campground, south of Curlew National Grasslands. We have miles of sagebrush and a view of Stone Lake, a lake owned by the cattleman’s association. Even though the lake is right next to the campground it is trespassing to go to the shoreline. Cattle outnumber people about 20 to 1. They

This picture is from Hyrum State Park in north-central Utah. This is a very nice lake with plenty of visitors even in early May especially in contrast to Huntington Lake State Park, which we had all to ourselves. In the last week, we had snow showers and small hail followed by lots of rain. We
