Buffalo NY

8-13/14-2021: Buffalo, oh Buffalo what an amazing and historic town you are! This is the charming east coast that I was hoping to find, the place just oozes history and it seems to have reached a point where the old industrial buildings are being repurposed and revitalized, stirring my long held “Omega man” loft fantasy.Continue reading “Buffalo NY”

Oh Ohio, and beyond

I have been using the Harvest Hosts program to find places to stay on my travel days, they are great locations, wineries, museums and other cool spots. When I was planning the travel day after leaving St Joseph, MI I had picked a host called “Wood County Museum” in Bowling Green, OH which was aboutContinue reading “Oh Ohio, and beyond”

The sprint to Michigan

AKA, what is there to see in North Dakota? As my friends and family heard me lamenting as I planned the road trip, I struggled mightily with what direction to take after leaving Glacier NP in northern Montana. My goal is to make it to Michigan and visit my old Air Force buddy John whoContinue reading “The sprint to Michigan”

Helena Montana

07-18-21: A longer than expected drive from Cody to cover the 304 miles and I arrived at Hellgate campground just outside Helena Montana, managed by the Bureau of Reclamation it is next to the Canyon Ferry dam which backs up the Missouri river to create Canyon Ferry Lake.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

07-15-21: Up early I was hoping to beat the crowds and arrived at the Eastern entrance by 7:30am. It is hard to overstate just how big Yellowstone is, at nearly 3400 square miles or 2.2 million acres it is larger than the states of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. Not exactly a day trip! MyContinue reading “Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming”

Salt Lake City and Park City Utah

Bryce Canyon, Utah

6-28-21: Reluctantly leaving Cedar Breaks, it was a short drive to the RV park outside of Bryce Canyon. Having been unable to secure a spot in the actual park campground I had made reservations at a private RV park about 20 miles outside the Park. Upon arriving I was told by the nice office folksContinue reading “Bryce Canyon, Utah”

Reunions and good friends

Starting my “Epic Road Trip” on Memorial day weekend was perhaps not my brightest idea… Leaving Northern California after a visit with family I realized the error in my ways as soon as the I-5 traffic reared its ugly head near Sacramento. The planned 4 hour drive was more like 6.5 when all was saidContinue reading “Reunions and good friends”

Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah

6-27-21: I had scheduled a night at Point Supreme campground in the Cedar Breaks National Monument as a way to break up the drive from Zion NP to Moab. I had not done much research and just figured it would be a quick stop on the way to someplace cool. Well IT IS someplace cool!Continue reading “Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah”

Zion National Park, Utah

6-25-21: With Las Vegas and the high roller treatment now in the rear view mirror it was time to point towards Utah and my first stop, Zion National Park. I had reservations at an RV park in Virgin Utah which is about 15 miles from the park. I arrived at the 1pm check in timeContinue reading “Zion National Park, Utah”
