Move From Twin Falls to Stanley, Idaho
Tuesday, July 14, 2020 56 degrees, got up to 80 in Stanley I should have left earlier, but I was torn about whether to stay here one more night. I like it here. It’s a great, little park – Rock Creek RV Park, but I decided to go. First I went to the grocery store…

Shoshone Falls
Monday, July 13, 2020 60 degrees in the morning, up to 82, a delightful day I kept looking for my Airstream neighbors, but they didn’t come out. I had an appointment for an oil change at Bob Green Buick/GMC at 10:30. Not knowing the town, I left at 9:45 and was there before 10:00. They…

The Loneliest Road: The Colorado River
July 5, 2020 It was a beautiful morning, 66 degrees with a nice breeze. I enjoyed sitting in the shade, posting, reading emails and studying what is down the road. I saw our campground hosts, a nice young couple who are teachers in Minnesota, and asked if I could move across the street. They said…

The Loneliest Road, Colorado National Monument
July 3, 2020 It is only a 2.5 hour drive from Blue Mesa Reservoir to Colorado National Monument, where I was booked for three nights of July 4th weekend. The speed limit is 65 on much of this section, but it’s curvy. I couldn’t do it in the truck yesterday, much less with the Airstream…

The Loneliest Road, Gunnison, Colorado
I was tired from three hard days of driving and1865 miles. 700 miles yesterday. I went into Gunnison to get gas, groceries, ice and find a library so I could post. I stopped at a pullover to watch a man standing in the Gunnison River fishing. He had little luck, but I had fun watching…

A Mess in New Hampshire
Wednesday, July 10, 2019 I didn’t sleep well and got up at 3:30 after being awake for a half hour. My head was spinning with the events. I tried not to let my mind go back to the accident. It was just too painful. I read an email from my friend, Ed, that helped put…

Moving to Camping on The Battenkill
Sunday, July 6, 2019 While we were breaking camp, John Donovan came up to say goodbye. His group across the road had fished last night in the rain, but had little luck. They have a very nice group that rents a cabin here every year. John said he envied us – being able to travel…

Fishing The Farmington River
Saturday, July 6, 2019 We had one day to fish the Farmington River. After cruising the road along the river, we found a spot where there weren’t other fishermen. There is an island with a couple of small runs and the main branch. I fished the first small run for 30 minutes, changing flies a…

Moving to The Farmington River
Friday, July 5, 2019 It was only a 40 minute drive to the American Legion Campground on the Farmington River in Barkhamsted, CT, so we had a relaxing start to the day. We fixed a big breakfast of eggs, sausage and blueberry pancakes. As we left the campground, dumpsters were overflowing from the 4th of…

The Westfield River
Thursday, July 4, 2019 The East Branch of the Westfield River was too warm for fishing yesterday, so our plan was to fish the tailwaters of the Westfield River. It was July 4th, a terrible time for trout fishing, but a tailwater stream comes out of the bottom of a dam, so the water is…
