Waterfalls and Near Wrecks

Started the day pretty early. Heading out to our first stop around 7 am. Had to stop at the Wal-Mart because someone forgot their belt at home… turns out Oregon charges you fees on plastic and aluminum items.

The Long Drive

Every year I try to think of things and places I want to see and photograph. And yes, the thinking hurts. I have to plan something I want to photograph, things my mother would enjoy, and include the National Park System. Usually I try to squeeze in as much as I can. After all it’s unlikely I’ll be able to come back!

Hagerman Fossil Beds

Once we headed back to the car after the torrential downpour, we started off in the direction of our next stop. Not too far into our drive did we get lucky, and the rain stopped.

Minidoka National

A while back I saw an event on Facebook happening at the City of Rocks here in Idaho. It was to see what life was like for the pioneers traveling the Oregon Trail. The event included sampling food, and i you know me you know I’m all about food, especially free food!

Barney’s Pond

Barney’s Pond. The thing of legend! Ok…maybe only locally. And even then a lot of locals don’t know about it.

Yabba Dabba Do and the Race Against Time

At long last. The last day of our trip is nearing. This is the last day of our sight seeing, but it is jam packed with places not close to each other and early close times. After leaving the hotel we went straight to the Walmart there.

Uh What State Am I In?!

We had an in-between day from road trip stops. But we had plenty to keep us busy on the road. On the 12th, during our drive, we stopped and visited family that lived along the way.

Zzyzx and Mojave

It was a good feeling knowing I was about to leave Vegas. Until I tried to leave it, that is. All the on ramps near me were closed for I-15 Southbound. We kept going in circles and getting lost, which of course leads to frustration.

Las Vegas Part Duex

May 10th, 2018

Today was one of the very rare travel days where we didn’t have to get up early. I had gotten us tickets for the Neon Museum Tour in the early afternoon. If you love history or just classic Vegas, you need to see this place!

An Angel in Sin City

May 9th, 2018

I call myself an Angel but friends and family might disagree with that…anyways…Vegas. Ooh Vegas. We came into Vegas from Highway 93.
