We were off by 8:00 am to the Grand Teton National Park and then to Yellowstone National Park where Diane had booked us into the Bridge Bay Campground for the night. The smoke was lessening as we drove north threw Jackson and into the Grand Teton National Park. We were able to get some pretty […]
Friday morning Diane walked over to the market while I posted the week’s happenings on the blog. I finished posting around 1:00 and we decided to take a walk around Alpine. The town is really small but they had a nice Ace Hardware store and we purchased a splitter for our extension cord. Then it […]
In the morning we stopped in Ketchum. Diane wanted to book a campsite near the Grand Teton National Park and Jackson for four days so we could explore both the Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks during the week. She found a RV Campground in Alpine, Greys River Cove RV Campground. So off we went to […]
In the morning while having coffee we saw a pair of bald eagles out in the marshy area hunting something and then fly away with it. Ahh, Mother Nature. Fortified with coffee we were on our way towards Ketchum and the Sawtooth Mountains. We followed the Payette River to State Hwy 21 then the South […]
We got up early and went to a Starbucks to update the blog. After getting the Slinkystravels.com up-to-date we were on our way to somewhere around McCall to camp for the night. It was still smoky as we leaving Lewiston and we were still traveling on the Lewis and Clark Trail but this time we […]

After leaving the hotel we were able to get […]
We got up early and through the trees from our campsite we could see an orange Mt. Rainier. It would have been great to be up at Sunrise Ridge but…. We got there as soon as we could. Beautiful vistas, beautiful photos, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL. The Sunrise Ridge is about 6,400 feet in elevation above […]
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Loge cabins in Leavenworth. Thanks to Diane for booking us there. A lot of fun. Off to Mt. Rainier. For those of you keeping track this will be our 6th National Park that we will have visited on this trip. From Leavenworth Hwy 2 East along the Wenatchee […]
The early morning was lazy. We watched more of the Wenatchee River and planned our day in Leavenworth. The first thing we wanted to do was the walk the Riverwalk and find a beach where we could take a dip in the Wenatchee. The walk was nice. It wandered through the natural trees and brush […]
