Travel the USA

After the country re-opened after Covid-19, we are
"On the Road Again."
Please enjoy the 'armchair travels' and feel free to make comments.

In September of 2019, we made the
'epic' trip to the east coast for the first birthday of our grandson Evan.
Since Evan's birthday is in September, we decided to join a 29 day RV Caravan for the New England fall color. The tour starts in Maine and ends in Niagara Falls. All told, we did about 12,000 miles with the new truck and trailer.

Flaming Gorge, Dutch John Utah

 

Signs are in pretty rough shape!
The reservoir is 91 miles long, has 4 million acre feet of water, and is famous for the trophy lake trout.  Large numbers of 30 pound plus fish are caught each year.

Osprey Island
a nesting area for the hawk like bird with a black eyestripe and white head, and a wingspan that can reach 6 feet.

I would love to see one of them dive into the water to catch the fish.

I only saw this cute little guy - tried to hide from me.

I guess I was no threat ( also had no treats)

-

John Wesley Powell, 1869 started a three month expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers.
Three days from Green River Wyoming, they were thrilled to see the sun’s reflection of the brilliant red gorge.
This picture is taken from the Red Canyon Visitor Center.

Meanwhile, back at camp they told us to go to "Little Hole" for shore fishing.
The river is really swift- so we try something else tomorrow.


Plenty of fun had by all.

And Powell camped here.
