Canada at Last – Banff National Park

Canada at Last – Banff National Park

June 10-18, 2022 We’ve been trying to get into Canada for two years and we finally made it! We had an uneventful crossing at Roosville, British Columbia, only taking about 20 minutes to get through customs. I had completed the online ArriveCan form ahead of time for Richard and me, uploading our passport and Covid vaccination records, so it went very smoothly. Yeah! Our goal that first day in Canada was to make it to Fort Steele, just 100 kilometers…

Friends at Flathead Lake, Montana

Friends at Flathead Lake, Montana

June 6-9, 2022 We met Rick and Barb during our first year on the road in 2018, on our way to Alaska via California. We clicked right away and met up with them again at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon in 2019. This time we decided to rendezvous at Flathead Lake in Polson MT and what a beautiful spot it was. On our first night together we shared a great meal and a beautiful rainbow over the lake. We…

More of Montana: Dillon and Missoula

More of Montana: Dillon and Missoula

June 2-5, 2022 On June 2nd we exited Yellowstone National Park through the West Entrance on Hwy 287. This was a beautiful drive through the mountains (no high mountain passes!) taking us through Virginia City (which we visited on a prior trip) and on to Dillon MT where we spent two nights at the Countryside RV Park. The main reason that I wanted to visit Dillion was to go to one of America’s best-preserved ghost towns in Bannack State Park….

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

May 30-June 1, 2022 We left Devils Tower in Wyoming heading to Yellowstone NP. It was too far to drive in one day so we stopped for the night at the very nice Sheridan KOA in Sheridan WY. In the morning we headed west on Hwy 14 towards Cody. The reason that I mention the name of the road we took is because you might want to avoid it in winter and late spring if you can. It started off…

We met up at the Walnut Grove RV park in Kansas City. After setting up camp we drove into Kansas City to the Country Club Plaza part of town to enjoy some of…

Gateway Arch National Park

Gateway Arch National Park

May 2022 Gateway Arch National Park was the 60th national park added in 2018. After attempting to visit this park two other times, our third attempt ended up being successful. The national park includes the Arch, underground visitor center, Old Courthouse, Mississippi riverfront and landscaped green spaces and trails. Several months ahead of time I got tickets to the ride to the top of the Arch and to watch the documentary film about how the Arch was built (very interesting)….
