End of the trip

Here are some photos from the return ride home.  My phone was broken so all images on this last post were uploaded once we had returned to Webster.

Campgrounds were getting lonely as it was the end of November and damn cold.

Heck, even the roads were lonely.  But the views never ended.  Beautiful country.

We had to leave Mesa Verde due to icy roads and snow on the way but we discovered Aztec Ruins Park, a bit farther south.  A nice stop.

Eureka, Nevada.  Simply a gas stop but would love to stop back.  We were trying to beat the snow and couldn't stop long.

The guy checking us into the campground said, "You guys drove through hell."  Yes, we did.

The elms weren't whispering, it was cold.  

Petroglyphs.

Dinosaur footprints.

Zion National Park - our last big stop.  From here on out, we drove more than and did sightseeing less.

Monument Valley

Last day

Started in Oregon and finished the day in Kirkland, Washington!

Parking with the big boys at the rest stop.

Oregon trail:

Stopped at a model of Stonehenge along the Columbia River.

This was built as a memorial to WWI deaths.

Hang gliders catching a breeze.

And then we arrived at our daughter's home. Wonderful to be here.

Buhl, Idaho

The Hagerman Rest Area has a nifty wildlife viewing area.

This screen leads to a hidden viewing spot.

The birds don't even know you are there.

Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls, Idaho

Not too shabby.

Evel Knievel jumped from here:

Beverly and I met a guy on the road. I'll let you figure out who is Bev, who is me and who is the guy. On the road too long.

Today for the first time a trucker flashed their lights to say "Go ahead and pull in, you have passed me." I mentioned this to Beverly who said that's because I smiled at him......

Which begs the question, how long has my wife been smiling at truckers?

Mid week middle of nowhere, nobody around

Quiet campground on Rt. 84.

Canyonlands

Best campsite yet and the park was breathtaking. First time camping in BLM areas. It reinforced the idea of buying toys. ATVs and mountain bikes everywhere.
Here are some photos:

Dead Horse Point

Love the name of the campsite - Horse thief Campground.

View out the camper window.
