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 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...
