June 12th, 2023 On June 4th, I hitched up the trailer and headed for the Gros Ventre campground, just north of Jackson in the Grand Teton National Park.

I calculate that this is my 12th visit startingContinue reading “Grand Teton National Park”

June 1st, 2023 I left Colorado on May 24th. I never had my cardiologist appointment, as he was called away for a hospital emergency.

April 30th, 2023 I left Trinidad on Monday, April 24th with a destination, 1 hour away, of Lake Pueblo State Park. It looked to be a little warmer during the night there. and I would not have to worry so much about frozen plumbing. The lake is actually a large reservoir filling the valley ofContinue reading “Lake Pueblo and Gog”
