As yesterday was Jen’s day to write the blog, she wouldn’t let me put these pics in her story. No taste that girl. Anyway, here are some pics of a junk yard we passed and here is some of the treasure waiting to be restored. This morning has dawned rather…
Boy, last night was a blur of feverish stupor but this morning I woke, like I imagine a butterfly emerging from it’s chysalis, reborn. Our campsite was immaculate and complete with showers and flushing toilets. Great value at $20. We were camped in amongst massive trees and to see the…
It’s right on 4pm and we have our camp established in the Beverly Beach State Park Campsite. The day has been mostly overcast and cool though there have been some sunny spells. Being in the Landy and on the road again is marvellous. The scenery after leaving Scott and Marsha’s…
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…

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…
At last, a cold night. In fact it it was 3dgC at 7am. Our camp site was great. With the the wheels on the hard we backed up to a swathe of lush green grass to erect the Caranex on. The owners of a 5th wheel Caravan next to us,…
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…
