What a great day, and night last night. Jen’s 70th birthday celebration meal with Logan & Jamie and news during it, of a successful bid for their first house. It was a warm, pleasant evening. I should mention that flowers for Jen I ordered online yesterday, never arrived and still…
What a glorious camp site we have tonight. No other campers except the Camp Host and his wife who are in their large RV (Recreational Vehicle). They have been living in it for the past 14years. It has an 8L V8 Chev petrol engine that does 7mpg!!!! Leaving the camp…
Trying to get away from the camp site this morning was a challenge. So many people to chat to, about all sorts of things. Our last discussion could have gone on all day. It was with a Rail Engineer or Train Driver, in NZ. He was a real nice guy.…
The best nights sleep for weeks. For me. Jen, not so. Again the morning has dawned beautiful. The sun is warm but overall temperature is slightly cool. On emerging from the Landy we find the camp site has filled considerably. There is a Rodeo on in town on Sunday and…
As Jen mentioned in her blog yesterday, we got a bit of a grilling from the Camp Host about attracting bears to the camp site with all manner of stimulants. However, after being a little apprehensive, we survived the night intact. Re-joining Hwy 212, the Beartooth Highway, it wasn’t long…

It was a tranquil camp site about 30 miles from Capitol Reef National Park. So much cooler and more pleasant up in the hills. Close to 3000m elevation. A 17 mile drive to the township of Torrey, Utah, where we picked up some supplies and managed to get some internet…

We made the decision yesterday to take a day off and explore this astounding natural phenomenon. Driving in last afternoon, we are on a sealed road with forest on both sides. Then, like another world appears, glimpsing this spectacular chasm beside us. We both went…WOW!!! Our camp site is basic…
Happy Birthday Natsuki…:) I ran a few checks over the mechanicals last night and changed the fuel filter. I mentioned earlier that the power is down a bit and I noticed there’s exhaust smoke under load. The camp site last night was so quiet. Not many campers and they were…
