Tuesday June 21 – Summer Solstice! Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a big movie when we were kids. Neither of us remembers much about the movie, except that there were aliens, the music was fun and the unbelievable finale location – Devils Tower.

Sunday June 19 We started the trek home. The weather in Jackson was very grey and chilly, which showed us a totally different kind of scenic beauty! The drive was long and not real eventful – other than lots of scenic views. We had planned to head north and travel thru Yellowstone. It was still …
Wednesday June 15, after adding our lock to the pier in Idaho Falls, Chad and I headed to Jackson and The Tetons. We spent a few days in the area with the kids 10 plus years ago at the end of a trip to Yellowstone. We thought we liked the area but weren’t quite sure…WOW …

Unfortunately, we all missed his older brother Max’s graduation in 2020, because of Covid. We are relieved and grateful to be able to spend time with both of them this year!! …
Warning this post might get long…a week of so many animals, overlooks and scenic views = so many pictures to choose from. š On Memorial Day Monday, after a very yummy wedding brunch and saying goodbye to everyone, we headed out to Estes Park, CO. We originally had planned to camp somewhere in the Spearfish …
On Thursday May 26, the plan was to camp on the “wall” near Wall SD. In order for that to happen we had to unpack, do laundry from our Portsmouth trip, re-pack, go grocery shopping, put the tent on the truck, get all our camping gear in the truck, make sure the house was ok …
