First Day of Winter 2014 (November 8 2014)

We left Sharon Springs after the mail was delivered.  Luckily the new MiFi came and we headed south for the winter.  The weather was perfect.  Sun was shining and no wind.

 I tried to catch the golden leaves on the cottonwood trees in the bottom land of Kansas.  Actually with the sun shining on the leaves they were gorgeous.

 We were in three states today.  Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

(Had to turn around and get this!)
 We stayed at Dalhart, Texas at the Corral R.V. Park.  Rate was $21.60.  Gravel park, but clean and we slept well.

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Image
Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner. ...

November 26, 2013 - Canton MS Again and Again

Image
On the way to do laundry, I decided to take a picture of the shower house/laundry room.  If you look closely, the laundry pair is in the screened area between the restrooms. Holmes County State Park Mississippi Site #2 for the Travelers Court House Square in Canton MS As we were trying to find a seal for my pressure cooker at the Presto Factory in Canton, we passed this Court House.  This town was getting ready to have a Victorian Christmas Celebration.  There was a merry-go-round for the young and the young-at-heart. Little Red School House (Mississippi) We took the exit to visit this school house.  It is the birth place of the Eastern Star.  It has housed soldiers, It is full of history. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  Going to make pumpkin and pecan pies tomorrow.  Finished wrapping gifts today.  Now when we get to Vicksburg, we will find a UPS office and help Santa get a few packages on the way. ...

Day 82; July 18 - Grand View to Valdez

Image
We left the Grand View Campground around 9:37am.  The temperature was 48.  It was cloudy.  Clouds were so low that you couldn't even tell we were in the mountains.  We followed a lot of the Pipeline from Glennallen to Valdez.  It was good to see something that I had only heard about until now.  As we got closer to Valdez, we ran across this rest area with a memorial to Billy Mitchell.  He was a soldier that was sent to Alaska to establish the telegraph....I think.  This must have been his cabin, it was located in the park.  Glacier is about to run right into the highway.  I think was are going to drive up to see it closer.  Welcome to Valdez!  The city has a campground right by the welcoming sign.  We chose to stay in one a few miles back in the country.  I'm so excited!  We have real cable TV with over 72 channels.  Up until now, we were only allowed around 9 channels and they were so fuzzy you couldn...
