Clarkston & Chelan, Washington

-


 We met up with my cousin Kay and her husband John in Clarkston, WA. We stayed at Premier Resorts at Granite Lake in a beautiful site right on the water. This park is on Granite Lake however the Snake River feeds into the lake. Across the river is Lewiston, Idaho.






We all enjoy bike riding so we rode out e-bikes out to Hells Gate State Park which is in Idaho, we put on over 20 miles on the bikes. This ride included a winery stop and a brewery stop both were within 2 blocks from park sites.






Echo also enjoyed the bike/walking path. The squirrels would tease him so he had to check out EVERY tree.


 

 


We visited Nez Perce National Historic Park. On the brochure it says that it is a park about a people, for all people. The visitor center had some interesting displays of the Nez Perce tribes and their people.

After 3 wonderful days we traveled to Chelan, Washington. The park is located on Lake Chelan. Kay took some pictures of us driving, something we don't get to see. 





We had a great time while we were in Chelan. We ate at Blueberry Hill, picked some blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. 




There was a lot of wine tasting where I have discovered my taste in wines has changed. 




It was awesome that Kay and John's daughter Jessica and her husband Jason and their 2 boys could join us for a few days, those boys are so adorable! 


 






It was really hard leaving this beautiful place. This is the second time we have visited this area and we will definitely be back. It was also hard leaving Kay and John, we truly enjoy being with each other, our wish is to travel together for an extended period of time in the near future.

Carlsbad Caverns, NM - 2024

Our next stop was Carlsbad Caverns. We arrived late Friday afternoon after stopping to check out Gaudalupe Mountains National Park.  We had reservations for a tour Saturday morning. On our drive out to the Cave we saw some barbary sheep. These are non-native originally from North Africa and first appeared in 1959. It is thought that the herd probably escaped from a private ranch in the Hondo Valley of New Mexico. We toured Carlsbad Caverns in the spring of 2021 and enjoyed it just as much the second time. There are so many different formations. The Natural Entrance The walkway down into the cavern. There are so many different formations. One thing we didn't get a chance to do in 2021 is watch the bats fly out of the cavern at dusk so we made sure to see it this time. The park has 17 different bat species however, the large colony of Brazilian free-tailed bats are what wow the visitors every evening from spring through fall with their outflights. The best way I found to get a still ...

  From the Grand Tetons, we stayed a night at Hill AFB Famcamp, Ogden, UT, a night at a Love's RV Stop in Filmore, UT and a night at Desert Eagle Famcamp, Las Vegas. From there we headed to Arizona and stayed 5 nights at Saguaro Skies, Luke AFB in Glendale. I was really happy to see my best friend and spend time with her. We had lunch at a newer restaurant called Stillery. The food was really good and so was the atmosphere.  From there we headed south and stayed at Boneyard Vista, Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson for a few nights. We had brunch with our friends Jeff and Louise and spent a few hours catching up with them. Our next stop was White Sands Missile Range Famcamp in White Sands NM.  A view of our RV and the San Andres Mountains We visited the museum which was really deep in history.
