Continue to have a safe trip and keep the photos coming!

Bighorn National Forest is about 300 miles from the Jackson Hole area. Most of the trees here are evergreens, so there's not a lot of color going on.

We are still in Ranchester tonight. We spent another day in the Bighorns exploring some of the back roads.

We plan to break camp in the morning and head toward Utah. We are still trying to decide which way to go. Stay tuned.

Is that camp ground in Salt Lake City a pass through camp ground? I'm sorry for the folks in SLC, but it looks like one of the infamous parking lot camp grounds in California. It looks well maintained, but I don't see how you get out of Lucy's door in the mornings without dinging Daisy.

Other than this camp ground, I have throughly enjoy camping with you guys on this trip and hope to see you at the Can Opener in January.

It's tight here, but it's nice and has 5 point hook-ups. Since we don't spend much time in Lucy or at the CG, it's not a big deal. Most of the campers that we have met here are working in the area and here for several months.

We're still in here in Salt Lake City.

We drove up to Ogden today and looked around. The have some of the neatest old buildings.

We also spent some time exploring Cache National Forest.

Today we looked around Park City and the surrounding area. We drove back to Salt Lake City and looked around downtown after rush hour. Salt Lake City's City Hall is probably the most significant city hall building that I have ever seen.

Brian;

Those cattle you photographed are called Belted Galloway. My wife calls them "Oreo" Cattle. You are in some beautiful country. As you come south you will get in more desert area but it is still quite scenic. Did you get to go to the site where they drove the golden spike when the two railroads met coming from east and west? It's right up in that country. Have a good trip on to the Festival. Will see you there next week.

Well, we're back on line. We were super busy for a couple of days. We spent a day in Salt Lake waxing Lucy for her debut in Albuquerque. Of course it poured rain on her way across I-70 from Utah into Colorado. We ended up boondocking in the Camping World parking last night. This morning we headed up to Estes Park to spend a couple of days doing Rocky Mountain National Park.

We set Lucy up at the Paradise On The River RV Park. We decided to spring for the extra bucks and got Lucy on of the sites directly on the river. It's really nice.

We took a ride into the Park. We got to the 10,000 foot level and were greeted by a snow/hail storm. It was putting a lot of ice on the road, so we decided to head back to the CG.

Good to see another report. Was beginning to wander where you two went off to. Sorry 'bout the snow/hail...glad you didn't have Lucy with you.

BTW, how many legs does that moose on the dash board have?

We took a long ride today over to Walden, Colorado, the Moose sighting capital of Colorado. It was a long ride (250 mile round trip), but the scenery was breathtaking and we did spot one Moose.

I can see why they call it the moose sighting capital of Colorado

. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Glad it wasn't a total wash. You did get to see a vintage Airstream, too.
