Sunday August 15th Last Day at Rock Creek

Nothing exciting today, fishing in the morning, drive to Rock Creek lake in the early afternoon and dinner at sunset. Enjoyed our last campfire and the stars. If you haven't been in the High Sierra's and viewed the stars at night you are missing a great sight. Tomorrow we head to Lone Pine and home on Tuesday.

Thurs, Fri, Sat Aug 12th, 13th &14th Rock Creek CA


Nothing much has happened the past 3 days. We are enjoying Rock Creek and just winding down from our 4 month trip. Fishing has been slow although I did catch enough for a nice dinner. Will have them our last night in Lone Pine. After spending the best part of 4 months with Ivan and Randi we miss not having them camped next to us, but will see them in a few days.

Wednesday August 11th


Left Winnemucca early this morning and arrived at Tuff Campground near Bishop CA around 1:00 PM. This campground is a favorate of ours, and Yvonne and I have been camping here together for 36 years. We took our boys here on many camping vacations over the years and have some great memories. We were able to get site #1, which is at the beggining of the campground, close to the creek and quite. After dinner we sat around the campfire and enjoyed the stars. We are now only 330 miles from home. Will spend a 5 or 6 days here enjoying the quite and winding down from our trip.

Tuesday August 10th Winnemucca Again


Decided to spend another night in Winnemucca to rest up after two days of long drives and winds. A good day to just relax, hit the Wal-Mart and do laundry. Not much to see or do in Winnecumma and the casino's here are not much to see. Weather has been cool, but we expect to get into hotter weather in California.

Sunday and Monday August 8th and 9th

Left Kalispell early Sunday morning and drove to Idaho Falls ID, 435 miles. Nice drive but had about an hour of head and side winds toward the end of the drive. Spent the night in a nice campground. Yvonne had cooked a chicken dinner in the slow cooker while we were on the road.
Early start on Monday toward Nevada. We ended up driving 455 miles and stopped in Winnemucca for the night. After two days of driving almost 900 miles we were both beat. Visited one of the local casino's and the bartender gave us a great reference for a local pizza parlor. We both agreed that it was one of the best pizzas we have had and the best one the past 4 months. We may stay here for a couple of nights to rest up.

Saturday August 7th Kalispell MT


After two days of sightseeing today is a day of rest. Slept in late, had a nice breakfast then spent a few hours at the local Farmers Market. Tomorrow we head toward Idaho.
