She broke my heart in Montana

As I was driving through Whitehall Montana I stopped to rummage through a pawn shop in the center of town while a rain shower passed. Upon exiting the store, I was met by a soaking wet miniature Schnauzer who sought shelter from the rain under my legs. I snatched her...

Baker’s Hole Campground

Just 3 miles north of West Yellowstone, Baker’s Hole Campground fit my need for a place to stay the night. Baker’s Hole consists of 73 campsites all within a short walk to the Madison River… and honestly, if I could cross the river, I’d be back within the Yellowstone National...

Boondocking in Teton National Forest

Just across the road from the Teton National Park, up an unmarked gravel road leading into the forest, is one of the best boondocking locations I have ever been too. I’ve camped here before, back in June of 2011, and enjoyed it so much I was happy to repeat the...

Swimming under the Tetons

Friday would be my final weekday near the Grand Teton National Park so I decided to spend the afternoon at Jenny Lake… at least to beat the heat that has visited me each afternoon in the forest. It was ironic that the moment I came to a stop in the...

Grave of Sacajawea

On the way up to Teton National forest, I stumbled upon the grave of Sacajawea, who has to be the most amazing woman of all history. I’ve always been amazed by her accomplishments; traveling on foot for thousands of miles with an infant child… so to be able to see...

Fueled up and ready to go

Well… that’s it. Saturday was the final full day in Colorado. I am packed and ready to go with all the final todo’s completed. I spent the first half of this month using (abusing?) King Sooper’s double fuel points promotion. Between Imelda and I, we worked up over 600 fuel...

Tony and Karen

I’ve been following Tony and Karen (http://rollinginarv-wheelchairtraveling.blogspot.com) for the past month or so after I noticed that they were down in the Colorado Springs area. We both regular the forums at CheapRVLiving.com and exchanged a few notes until I learned they might be passing right through town here… so we...
