A Day At Bryce Cannon

Wow what a trip. It was a very long day we left at 6:30 and got back at 4:30 but it was well worth it. As you can see Ark and Saw got to go along. It was very chilly at the top only in the 30's. Lots of other tourists there also. We were all very tired from driving and you know our tow car is a small Jeep so not much room so we all were very glad to get home.

We have a lot of pictures and some need books about both Bryce and Zion cannons. Will look forward to shareing them with you all.

Another end of a day and we will be heading for the Grand Cannon tomorrow (Sat) so will be reporting more later.

Greetings to all from Barb and the gang.

Site Seeing Trip to Zion National Park

Ark and Saw are real excited today as they got to go along site seeing. Ark even got to be a ranger for a moment as we waited to drive through a mile long tunnel because it is only one way if there is vehicles bigger than cars. We went on a tour bus first through the park and then drove through the tunnel and then to a Imax Theatre for a view of the Zion Canyon. It was a awsome day. As you can see Ark and Saw was very exhausted by the time we got home they fell to sleep on the picnic table.

On the way back we stopped at a museum in the town of Virgin Utah as you see by the pictures we were being silly by this time and very tired. It was a long day but a good day.

Hi to our friends and family from Barb and the gang.

Very Stressful Day

Well as you can see in this picture Ark and Saw had a very stressful day. They are resting on the bed in the motor home. They at one point thought they were going to be fried chicken when they seen the smoke coming from the front tire.
We left Provo Utah this am and headed for St George. We were about a 100 miles from St George when the brake buddy in the jeep we tow, mal functioned for a second time and this time it blew the tire. The only thing we can determine is the bake buddy for some reason engages it self if we hit a bump and presses the brake in. One other day it happened and we discovered it at a rest stop we just happened to stop at. It didn't cause any damage the first time. We had driven over rough construction both times it happened. Well needless to say it the law in many states that you have to have one of these it is designed to stop the vehicle you are towing if it breaks away from the motor home. Well we won't be using for the rest of the trip as we are not going to go through what we did today. It totally destroyed the tire and thank the Lord we were at a exit when it happened so had a good place to change a tire. The tire place we went to can not get us a replacement tire tell Thursday.

But I wish I would have taken a picture of us sitting along the side of the road changing the tire because "WE REALLY LOOKED GOOD" and some of you know how important that was to Jerry when we were shopping for motor homes how we would look if we were sitting on the side of the road.

We are at a real nice camp site and plan a trip to Mount Zion tomorrow. We are going to stay here for 3 to 4 days it is so pretty around here and a lot to see.

Will be reporting on our trip to Zion tomorrow. Bye from Barb and all.

Starting a New Week of Travel

Monday am, we started out from Idaho Falls and headed for Salt Lake City, Utah but decided to go on to Provo Utah. Weather was a bit chilly in the am but some sun shine in afternoon. Found a nice park to stop at and will travel on tomorrow for St George Utah.

Hope all is well with our family and friends . Barb and Jerry.

Sunday Sept 23 Moving On to Montana

We head out for Anaconda Montana where Bob and Corky want to golf. Well it rained, & snowed all the way and was also windy. We arrived and viewed the golf course and went in the gift shop only to find out the golf course was closed because of a tournament and now do to weather conditions. Ate lunch and decided what to do next. Bob and Corky decided they did not want to hang around to golf the next day. (Surprise) We had heard the weather report and report was for rain and snow for the next three days. So we changed our route to not go to West Yellowstone the temps there was to be down to 21 degrees. So we decided to head south in hopes of finding some sun shine. We ended up in Idaho Falls for the night. Very chilly and wet but we are warm in our RV's.

The picture is Bob and Corky having lunch with Ark and Saw. By the way Ark and Saw was very nervous on the trip today with the snow and ice they thought they were back in the freezer in Arkansas. They will be glad to see some sunshine so they know they are still around the Foster Farm area.

Barb and the gang.

Saturday Sept 22 On The Road Again

Well we head out of Spokane/East Idaho area and head east and Stop in Kellog Idaho to site see at the old Lead, Zinc & Silver this museum was in the Former Bunker Hill Staff House huge house to much for me to want to clean ( I really mean that). The museum was of course rooms set up with displays, a Gift Shop, the Old Kitchen Items, Special Art Exdhibit, School, Metallurgy, Prospectors, Equipment, Textiles, Medical Equipment, Press, Memorial room for the staff that tried to save the workers when the miners got trapped. There was pictures of the Labor workers meeting with union members about labor issues and safety before the blew up Bunker Hill.

We thought it would be fun to go on the Gondola ride it looked like a beautiful ride but when we went to purchase tickets it was closed tell ski season. So much for that we ate lunch and moved on. Boy was Ark and Saw happy that they got to go also and I have been forgetting to mention Bob and Corky's kid is Frosty (their cat) she was happy to be on the road and not locked in the RV.

We headed on to Wallace Idaho and stopped there to visit the Northern Pacific Depot Railroad Museum. When we arrived there we were told there was trolly rides up to a mine so we decided to do that before we toured the museum. So we walked several blocks to get the tickets and guess what we were 10 minutes late for the last trolly. We now decide guess we are not to be going on any rides.

So we travel on to Missoula to park for the night. The guys just got us set up and it started raining and was very chilly.

Sorry this posting is so late but we also did not have phone service in this area we are really roughing it.

All in all we had fun. From Barb and the gang.

First Site Seeing Trip

Started out today to site see but Ark and Saw had stay home because we took the Jeep and left the RV's at the camp site. The jeep will only hold 4. We drove to the town of Sandpoint and then up to Sweitzer ski area lots of new development going on. Very pretty area. Then we headed for Coeurd'Alene ID. Checked out the lake, shops and the golf course. Ate at a restaurant that overlooked the lake. Headed back to the camp site arrived early enough the guys could wash the RV's and get ready for our journey tomorrow. Stayed tuned in and see where we end up tomorrow. Ark and Saw was glad we were back and hoping they get to go along tomorrow. Miss you all Barb

Sept 20th Left Chelan

Here we are with our friends Corky and Bob ready to head out on our trip. Left Chelan at 10:00 am ran into rain on our way to Spokane area. We arrived about 3PM to the camp site. The guys was upset because the RV's was very dirty. Ark and Saw who was riding in the Jeep could not even see out the wind shield and they were upset also. Well the evening was great we went to our friends in Spokane area for dinner and visited tell late. The temperatures was very cold so we had to drag out the heaters and add more blankets. We said we could not wait to get to AZ where it is warm. Barb and all.

On The Road

Today we packed this big rig and was surprised we still have some space available must have forgot something, time will tell I guess. We leave tomorrow (Thursday) to take it back to Chelan. Then we will come back to Auburn to wrap up a few odds and ends and will be on our way September 20th with our friends Bob and Corky.
