Boondocking before Yellowstone

Image
We're almost to Yellowstone and looking for a good place to stay for the night.  Jackie found a great boondocking spot, which was a bit further than we had planned to drive before stopping.   Targhee, Idaho was spectacular.  There were spots right on the water for smaller coaches and tent campers.  Larger RV's stayed above and had the best views of the lake. Cochella and Jeep  Road to the spot Zooming in. Great Sunset too! Morning in Targhee This girl woke us up.  She was just outside Cochella You looking at me? I'll just hang out by this pick up

Oregon Coast and the Redwood Forest

Image
  One is never too old to learn something.  This week, we learned that Oregon is more beautiful than we had expected.  Amazing landscape. We planned to go from Olympic National Forest to the California Redwoods and decided to take the coast for the entire journey.  We were on a bit of a time crunch and hope that we can come back and take more time to visit the many cute little seaside towns. Oh, and a big middle finger to California for pulling our RV aside and crawling under it for 10 minutes because we're from Virginia. Believe it or not, California has border patrol for invasive species, like the Gypsy Moth from Virginia. Rich with irony, isn't it? Brookings, OR Siusiaw, Oregon The Redwoods And More Coastline
