Day 9 Saturday Grand Canyon to Baker
... had been to go to Shoshone just outside of the Valley to an RV camp there, but it was getting late. We got as far as Baker where we should then turn north to Shoshone but it was already 7pm. We filled up with petrol/gas (over $3 a gallon now) and ...
Great Basin National Park
One of the highlights of this park is a tour of Lehman Caves. We had called ahead for reservations for the 1:00 pm tour, but were able to switch to the 9:00 am. Before this became a national park in 1986, it was Lehman Caves National ...
Save the World Adventure Race
... teammate, Maureen. First of all, it is in South Carolina! That is so not close to here. In one weekend we travel down to Baker Creek State Park, camp out, race, and travel back. It is insane, it also goes on during the most important part of the ...

TransAm - Day # 83
Two days ago we crossed through Hell's Canyon and the Snake River into Oregon. Why anyone would find Hell's Canyon an attractive visit site is unknown to me. It was literally 102 degrees - hot! But we are in Oregon with one week left to complete our ...
We are on the road

Baker is the border town
After a restless night in Baker it was onto Utah. Along with crossing the border comes crossing a time zone so we are now 7 hours behind Blighty so 1 hour closer since being in Utah. The day was swelteringly hot and another personal best in mileage ...
Baker
... . A rush of lights and then they were past. There were no other lights in the surrounding desert darkness. We saw a sign for 'Baker' and pulled off I15. It was all restaurants and gas stations but hardly any motels. We found one at the end of the ...
Days Seventy-Three through Seventy-Seven
... 12th, but snow the first night and torrential rains with mud flows the second night drove us to check into the Bun Boy Motel in Baker, CA for the last three nights. Yes, you read it right, the Bun Boy Motel! For $34.99 per night desperate travelers get a ...
Aliens!!!
We got a little distracted when we saw the signpost for Beef jerky - Alien beef jerky that is!! So we dropped by. We both tried a few different favours of jerky including one called 'Premium Colon Cleaner Hot'. The colon cleaner jerky prevented ...
A (hot) Dog of a day.
Five minutes from Fargo and we entered our 14th state, Beautiful Minnesota! And that is no exaggeration, this area is named the Lakes District due to the thousands of lakes in the area. All that water makes way for lush wildlife and habitat. We spent ...

Make them feel the heat...
... in the crevasses of rock. It's not long before dusk and then a full orange moon is seen in the dark sky. We drive on in the dark along the small roads and arrive at Baker to find a motel for the night. It's basic but comfortable enough. ...
Sunny skiing and the quintessential American diner
... no chance that we would all get the meal that we had ordered... * names changed to protect the identities of individuals Mt Baker is a great mountain, great snow and a lot less hyped than Whistler. And guess what - no Aussies working the lifts! We ...
A very long drive
... up for tourists with every building trying to sell you something. It was just missing the tumble weed. So we carried on to Baker. The gateway to Death Valley and 90 miles from Las Vegas....and only one motel open which stank of mucky water and ...
Arrived Wispering Elms Campground
This was our longest drive, 8 hours. We decided to stay in Ely, NV which was a 6 hour drive from Lake Tahoe. We left Ely late morning seeing this would only be a 2 hour drive. This 8 hour drive was on Highway 50 which is called "The ...

First sign of trouble.
Brady drove to Barstow, then we switched. Just past Baker I'm driving along when I notice the "engine heat" warning light come on. I casually point this out to Brady. Then we watch the temperature guage go up and up and up. We pulled over for a bit ...

Mount Baker
... Skigebiet: sehr gut. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und der Schnee, der anfangs so pappig war, dass man auf einer steilen Piste fast stehen geblieben ist, ist im Laufe des Tagesnoch recht ordentlich geworden. Kurzum, Mount Baker ist unser neuer Liebling! ...
Spring in the Upcountry!
... us that there is a real, work-a-day world outside of our little snow globe existence. Monday, March 7, found us at Baker Creek S.P., SC. Though some one hundred eighty miles from the pounding surf of Edisto we are surrounded on three sides by the ...
Mount Baker, Washington, USA
Heute war es an der Zeit zu unserem Liebling zurückzukeheren: Mount Baker. Und diesmal hatten wir sogar einigermaßen Glück mit dem Wetter: es war zwar bewölkt, aber die Sicht war trotzdem gut (d.h. dass wir dieses Mal auch etwas von unserer Umgebung ...
Day two of the trek home
... a little greener...before 95 hooked into 80 and we hit the four lane freeway. We calculated we could make it in daylight to Baker City, our destination for the day. It looked good for awhile, as we crossed into Washington at Ontario, but the road soon ...
