... one of them brand new and very lovely) and took a look at the exhibits as well as getting my Federal parks Golden Age pass. So, from here on out it'll be chep and easy to visit any federal facility - parks, Forest Service campgrounds, etc. During the drive to the Great Basin park, I travelled through Spring Valley, which is lovely and dramatic with high peaks on every side of it. There was a light, powdered sugar dusting on all the mountains around the ...

... Bob and Mike braved the cold one day to go fishing. I opted to keep the home fires burning in the RV (I like to fish, but not enough to do it in weather that requires longjohns. . . .). They came back with no fish--hmmm. . . But they did have some good stories about the ones that got away! It was great to see Mike again, and we had a great time even without the fish!

... steep hill ended in a dead end. We laughed. I knew we'd have to go back the way we came. When we got to the edge of the hill I panicked and crouched down and slid on my hands and feet ( imagine skiing ) all the way down, as Dave walked along and made it look quite easy. On the way back we decided to destoy some ant hills and collect some colored rocks. All in a days fun.

... I have ever seen before. We spent about 3-4 hours traveling around (one should really spend at least a day, and even camp out to get the whole experience), and then had to hit the road to our sleep spot. It was another 190 miles to ohmygodanothernonamesmalltown, located somewhere in the middle of Utah. This drive consisted of 80 miles up a back road, then 110 miles SW through hills and mountains, taking us as high as 7,500 feet. The speed limit is 75 through ...

... nice. We had a flat tire before we left, but AAA was great. This turned out to be an unexpectd blessing as the mechanic they sent out was a great tour guide and set us on a new path that is off the beaten path and unbelievable. We also met a guy who has been travelling full time since 2000....more on this later.....some members of our posse are pressuring me to sign off....

... hills to the back of the camp and a scrub desert all around. There are free-ranging cattle in the "field" next to our cabin. We unpacked and spent some time round the pool where were met and English guy and his American wife who live in Southern California.
