Bears Holloween Costume

Ok, lets see, there has to be something around here to build a costume.

Here's some stuff that gives me an idea.

This is the plan, I just need a little help.

Some of this stuff will do the job.

Were not sure you can pull this off.

Something about that one.

Well this kind of smells.

I'm so exited, this is going to be a great costume.

Lets get it done

Are you ready for this..............

Wait for it............

Trick or Treat.

In Loving Memory: Lady Bug

On the way to Patagonia

After leaving Toutle River RV Resort and a stop for personal business and having the motor home serviced we stop at Eileen's step dad's to visit with Jim and Ronell.

And more old friends show up with there toys.

I mean really, when was the last time you saw a Morris Minor.

Next stop the Bend Sun River area and a visit to the........................

Not a part of an exhibit, just one of the cutest residence.

I couldn't get this close to these guys at Toutle River.

Hoping to see some Golden Eagles in the sky over the ranch we will by working at in Arizona.

They wouldn't let me bring in my fishing pole and I know some of these guys are legal size.

Natures own full time RVers. Where ever they go they are home.

At Natural Bridge Campground I actually get a picture of Rick, he is ether getting slow in his old age or I caught him napping.

Rick , family and friends.

The Upper Rogue River Trail closely follows the river for about 40 miles from its headwaters at the edge of Crater Lake National Park to the boundary of the Rogue River National Forest at the mountain community of Prospect. Highlights along the trail include a river canyon cut through pumice deposited by the explosion of Mount Mazama about 8,000 years ago; the Rogue Gorge, lined with black lava, and Natural Bridge, where the river flows through a 250-foot lava tube. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Now you see it.

Now you don't.

Here comes the water.

Speaking of Mount Mazama.

No, that's not snow at Crater Lake, its salt. Eileen will park any where for a picture.

I kind of like the way she centered the motor home between the garbage cans.

Great Salt Lake Desert

After a stop in Provo to visit with Travis and his family we headed for Las Vegas to see Josh.

We are not likely to go straight any where and this leg of the trip was no exception.

Zion National Park is a national park located in the Southwestern United States, near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile park is Zion Canyon, 15 miles long and up to half a mile deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park's unique geography and variety of life zones allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

What we learned about Zion is that it would take at least a week to do it the justice it deserves.

Each of the pictures should have a caption, but since we did this in a short period of time the information was missed placed.

Well its a ranch and they don't build to many ranches in cities with freeways, paved streets, and side walks.

For people who remember the roads in the cascades in the 50's and early 60's, these road are actually better.

And look the forest service puts up signs.



Looking east across the San Rafael Valley at the Hauchuca Mountains.

Wide angle to north end of Valley.

Same shot telephoto.

Oh, look. Here we are at the ranch. At center left start with the big tree next is the headquarters, corrals, round pen, and there is our motor home.

OK, so enjoy the following fire works. I have just enough time to get Bears Halloween costume ready, wait till you see this.
