June 2-3, 2023 – Pueblo, CO



About mid-morning we left and drove a short distance to Lake Pueblo State Park, which is just west of Pueblo.  We had a nice back-in site with plenty of room for the Jeep.


It rained off and on both days, but we were able to take a lot of walks around the campground and along the lake.  We also spent a lot of time reading in the motorhome when it was raining.

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 21-22, 2011 – Northern Oregon Coast Continued

Today is the first day of summer and our second beautiful sunny day in a row – Yeah!   The sun shone all day today and it got into the mid 60’s.   We visited Fort Clatsop which is part of the Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Park.   The Historical Park consists of 12 individual areas around the mouth of the Columbia River and 40 miles along the Pacific Coast that mark the success of key parts of the Corps of Discovery’s mission.   Fort Clatsop is where Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1805-06 at the end of their 4,000-mile trek across the newly acquired Louisiana Territory.   There is a replica of Fort Clatsop as it looked that winter. We watched a living history program on old muskets.   They described how the musket worked and then fired one. We also took a short nature hike with a ranger who talked about the plants and trees in the area. On the way back to our camp site for lunch we saw a bear in the campground a...

August 17-18, 2015 – Port Alberni (continued)

Image
Monday we took the dogs to Ucleulet which is 96 km (58 miles) west of Port Alberni where we hiked the Lighthouse Loop of the Wild Pacific Trail.   Cody’s leg is getting better every day and he is putting weight on it most of the time (he is only holding it off the ground when he is walking fast or running).   It is cool and foggy here which makes for nice hiking.     The 2.6 km Lighthouse Loop trail winds through the rainforest.   This bent branch with a stump under it caught our attention. The trail had many “tree tunnels” which were fun and cool to walk through. The views of the coast were beautiful even through the fog. Throughout the hike we could hear the fog horn from the Amphitrite Point Lighthouse.   The original wooden lighthouse was built in 1906 after the shipwreck of the Pass of Melfort in 1905.   The lighth...
