Our plan was to travel from our home in Ventura County, California to the San Diego area for “a few days,” visit Sea World and to see some of the area’s other attractions. We left home in our 31’ class C around 10.00 AM. Due to an accident on Highway 1, the “Coast [...]

If the Mizpah Hotel was the “queen” of Tonopah, then the Goldfield Hotel was surely the queen of Goldfield.  Built in 1909, this four-story beauty still stands as a sentinel in “downtown” Goldfield. We had spent a great deal of time in Goldfield in the late 1990’s and even participated in a  Goldfield Days celebration [...]

The 120 mile drive to Ely, Nevada from West Wendover on Highway 93 alt & Highway 93 was a scenic trip through rolling hills, without the extensive ups and downs which we had experienced on the prior travel day’s driving.The Nevada Hotel and Gambling Hall, located on East Altman Street (Highway 93) was worth the [...]

One of the very few disappointments we encountered during our entire trip was the next day when we went to Wells, Nevada.  For years we have been reading articles and brochures regarding Well’s historic district. 
On the morning we turned our RV onto Wells Nevada’s historic 7th (Front) Street we almost went into shock.  The entire [...]

Leaving Idaho Falls we headed southwest on Highway 20 towards the I-15 and the “outskirts” of Pocatello where we turned our rig westward on I-80 toward the junction of I-84.  We were soon traveling the interstate with the Snake River paralleling the roadway.  The beautifully designed rest stop, just west of the junction of Hwy [...]

One of the most beautiful side trips we took in Yellowstone was a short side trip over to the Kepler Cascades.  This is a truly gorgeous waterfall on the Firehole River that — if it were any place other than a couple miles from Old Faithful — would rate its own park!   Our guide told [...]

While time restraints and road construction limited our sightseeing time within the park, our full day tour and the trip into and out of the park made for one of our most unforgettable Windshield Adventures!
While we kept and “eye out” for larger critters, the only visitors in camp were a couple of squirrels.  Buffalos, bears, [...]

Our stay in Yellowstone National Park was terrific. We took the full day “Circle of Fire Tour” in a 1937 yellow Ford touring car. The tour started out with a buffalo stampede around our touring car and included virtually all of the highlights in the western and southern section of the park. Special thanks to [...]

The picture looking out through our windshield that you see here was taken on September 16, 2009, on Highway 80, heading east from Wells, Nevada toward West Wendover, Nevada and approaching the 5,940’ Silver Zone Pass. Sometimes I drive and Kathy shoots the pictures.
From 1994 through today, we spent much of our free time traveling [...]
