LaGrande, OR – Sunday August 25, 2019

We had to be out of Salmon Cove by 11:00 a.m. today.

Today we start heading south toward New Mexico. It was sad to leave the Garcia’s we will not see them again until the end of November. The next few days will be traveling and nights at rest stops.

I do think we have a change in plans. Our original plan was to spend the holiday weekend at Virgin River Campground which is just inside Arizona between St George, Utah and Mesquite, Nevada. When we got internet today I found out it is going to be hot there.

Look at the daily forecast for the next week. The Virgin River Campground has no hook ups and NO shade, not a tree or a bush in the place. I think we will go to Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada that at least has electricity we should be able to get into on Wednesday.

Today’s travels.

Virgin River Campground, AZ – Thursday, November 10, 2016

We are again on the Virgin River while heading north.

Today’s drive 435 mile, Friday 280 to Ely, NV, Saturday 409 to Ontario,OR and Sunday 250 to Richland.  I know 435 miles in a day and you are retired?  Some days my old type A personality can not control itself and I want to get to Richland on Sunday to visit Jack.
We are in site 71 a pull through.  Pictures don’t want to up load so I will try tonight.

Virgin River Canyon Campground – Saturday April 2, 2016

We are in site 71.

Bad internet, update later. Back to update 4/4/2016

Campsite pictures of site 71.

I also spent time on Saturday playing with my new telescope.  Working to get my camera attached and focused.
This is the view across the valley with my normal lens.
This is through my telescope. It is one of the below plants on the center ridge in the above picture.

This is a rock outcrop on the highest ridge.

I think I’ve figured out how to fix the focus problem.  I’ll need to take the adapter I purchased apart and shorten it’s main barrel 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch.  I will work on this when we get home and before we leave for Yellowstone in May.
