RV and other travels around the World
We had booked this place for a full week, knowing there were several things we wanted to see and do. But, it turned into a great week that was completely filled and we could have stayed longer, but we have this darned schedule that keeps us rolling in a southeastern direction. And we also survived the infamous Iron Mountain Road! There was so much to share that I had to have another two part update!
The Fall Season is almost upon us. The nights are getting cooler while we are in Wyoming and now South Dakota. The RV parks are much quieter and not very busy as the family vacations are over and the kids are back in school. Both a good thing in my full-time RVer opinion. Today’s blog is a travel update and some other thoughts…
Next up on our travel plan is the town of Spearfish South Dakota as we continue our southeastern trek. There are many things to see and do in the local area including the historic Deadwood SD.
The Devils Tower Wyoming was only a three day stop for us, because the tower is literally all there was to see. But what a sight it is. Kind of hard to believe when you look at it. Nothing else like it in the world. When driving in and top a hill and there it is! Awesome…
The small town of Sheridan Wyoming really surprised us in how well preserved it is and how many businesses are located in the historic downtown area. It appears to be thriving! The old building architecture is beautiful, the town has several murals painted, and they have bronze sculptures everywhere downtown! It was a fun and interesting four days…
This may be the first time that I have had a had a three part blog update for one location. But, we were in Cody Wyoming for two weeks and there is so much to see and do. We really enjoyed our stay and the whole mountain state tour. So, without further ado, here is the final installment!
We just finished our two week stay in Cody, Wyoming and boy was it packed with activities! Cody is a charming little western town and the home of Buffalo Bill Cody and a nightly rodeo during the summer months. It is also next door to Yellowstone National Park. We were quite busy plus a visit from our son Bryan. So, grab your favorite beverage and sit back to enjoy a perhaps longish recap!
In the past two and a half years, I have plotted our RV routes on mainly interstate highways. They are faster, usually have many convenient places to stop, do not have low underpasses, and the grades are very mild. In Wyoming, most all the north-south routes are two-lane byways. So, by necessity we have ventured off the super slabs onto the back roads!
Grand Tetons, Jackson Wy & An ATV Adventure! We finally made it to our westernmost location on our 2019 summer schedule! The tiny mountain town of Alpine that is located just south of the Grand Teton National Park. Pat had one main goal for our summer schedule and that was to get back to the Teton Mountains again. We made it!

On The Road to Alpine Wyoming! This segment of our summer travels should be another highlight for sure. Pat has wanted to get back to the Teton Mountains since we first saw them in 1979 – 40 years ago! We had just been married a few years and we were both working full-time and I was attending college classes in the evenings. This was my first real vacation and it was surely needed. I used my entire annual two weeks of vacation for this trip! But, it was worth it! The Tetons are sure a magnificent sight!
