September 30th, 2024 Early in the morning of the 22nd, I rolled down Provo Canyon and out onto the plain of Utah Lake and the towns of Provo and Spanish Fork. After a quick stop at the Walmart for groceries, I climbed up the Spanish Fork River and turned east to follow the smaller DiamondContinue reading “Diamond”

Sundance
September 21st, 2024 Heading southwest on the 17th, I drove through overcast skies to Kamas. I parked in front of the Mirror Lake Diner just in time for the rain. I ordered my standard Sausage and Cheddar Omelet, but received a Mushroom and Cheddar instead. This was not a good start to the day, butContinue reading “Sundance”
Uinta Range
September 13th, 2024 My next destination is in the Uinta (yoo-in-tuh) mountains of Utah. I left the Riverside Campground just below the Palisades Reservoir at 6:30 a.m. My plan was to make stops along the way south, to take care of various tasks. The first task was to get some breakfast. I drove 15 milesContinue reading “Uinta Range”
Grand Canyon of the Snake River
September 5th, 2024 I am located in southeast Idaho and am only about a 1 1/2 hour drive from Grand Teton National Park. That is a “day trip” distance, so I decided to drive there and hike on the String and Leigh Lakes trails. I would also stop in and do a little shopping inContinue reading “Grand Canyon of the Snake River”
Nuts and Bolts
September 4th, 2024 Back on August 26th, I was hitching up the trailer in preparation for my next day’s trip to Craters of the Moon. As I was raising the tongue jack, I noticed an odd tiny bit of movement. Upon inspection I noticed that one of the two main bolts holding the head toContinue reading “Nuts and Bolts”
Back to the Craters
September 2nd, 2024 I found a spot at Craters of the Moon National Monument. I have stayed here for 7 nights in order to get past the holiday weekend. There will probably be a lot less campers after this 3 day weekend. So far this season I have been very lucky with campsites. I usuallyContinue reading “Back to the Craters”
Lost Rivers
August 26th, 2024 After breakfast in Challis, I drove south on Route 93, the Peaks to Craters Scenic Highway. It travels the length of the Lost River peaks down to the Craters of the Moon National Monument. The road crosses a cattle ranching plain just south of Challis before entering the steep walled Grandview CanyonContinue reading “Lost Rivers”
Challis
August 14th, 2024 Early on a Friday, I headed up the Salmon River. As I entered the canyon between Salmon and Challis, I observed a cow elk and several yearlings grazing the grassland along the shoreline. The sun was peaking over the mountains to the east and shining brightly on the grassy golden hillsides toContinue reading “Challis”
Back to Idaho
August 8th, 2024 For my last evening near Hamilton, I decided to go into town to get a few last supplies at the Safeway, and then pig out on a pizza at Kodiak Jax. Parking was sparse and I ended up in a spot with a 2 hour limit. I thought that would be plentyContinue reading “Back to Idaho”
Lake Como
August 6th, 2024 I camped at Lake Como USFS Campground near Darby, Montana to start the month of August. This is a small 10 site campground by the Lake Como Dam and appears to be newly improved. I needed to attend to some maintenance during this stay. I placed an order with Amazon, which deliversContinue reading “Lake Como”
