June 4, 2009 We drove Northwest of Jasper along the Yellowhead Highway to Mount Robson Provincial Park. We saw a moose along the river in the distance but wasn’t close enough to get a picture. We saw Yellowhead Lake and Moose Lake, and had a picnic lunch at the Mt. Robson Visitors Center. The scenery is spectacular – a picture of Mt. Robson. Our site at Whistler campground. June 5 We left Jasper in the sunshine and warm but the further North we got, the colder, rainier and more grey it got. As we turned north on route 40 to Grand Paririe, we started to hit a little snow. Didn’t last long but really woke us up. It stayed rainy and grey until we got to Grand Cache then it started to clear. We also got our first real windshield chip today, but a trip to WalMart and a windshield repair kit later we were fixed. The land here is somewhat hilly, swampy and covered with trees. There are some really big oil and gas complexes and some large lumber mills such as the one we saw in Grand Paririe. ...

June 24-30, 2010 – Gunnison, CO

We are staying at the Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch which is across the highway from Blue Mesa Reservoir. This beautiful Columbine garden was just outside the laundry. Blue Mesa Reservoir is in the Curecanti National Recreation Area. It is 20 miles long and the largest reservoir in Colorado. While we are here we are going to see the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and take some 4WD drives into the beautiful mountains of the western slope of Colorado. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park We spent a day at the north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. We drove the South Rim Road and stopped at all the overlooks. This is Rex’s first visit to this park and he was amazed at how beautiful and rugged it is. Nancy was here before it was a National Park (about 27 years ago) and was glad to see many improvements in the facilities.             On another day we took a National Park Service boat ride on Morro...

August 4-8, 2014 – Pass Christian and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi

Image
Monday morning we left Robertsdale and headed west into Mississippi.   We are staying at TLC Wolf River Resort just outside Pass Christian, MS.   This is a very nice resort and we have a nice long, wide site.   Our site is just up the hill from the Fountain Bayou which connects to the Wolf River.   We think this will be a great place to kayak.   Tuesday morning we drove south to Highway 90 which follows the coast from the Louisiana border to the Alabama border.   We stopped a few miles down the road at Beauvoir, the Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library.   The house was built by planter-entrepreneur James Brown in 1852.    Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy, visited Beauvoir in 1875 and again in 1876.    The owner at that time, Sarah Dorsey, who was a classmate of Varina Davis, invited Davis to write his memoirs at the estate.    The Davis’s purchased Beauvoir in 1879 an...
