Day 13 - Saturday, June 24th, 

By -

We had planned an early morning departure but had to say bye to our campground neighbors, Larry and Becky, from Oregon. Then we were on the road to return the rental by 11:58am and discovered Wilbur's headlight was out. Enterprise was right next door to Auto Zone, not a problem. Bob had it changed and we were on the road in a matter of minutes. We are headed to Kentucky via Hwy 74. Well don't you know that road goes through Ohio, back to Indiana, and then into Kentucky. Wilbur officially rolled his wheels in Ohio🙂. Here's the Ohio River to prove it

You know it's the Ohio because it is big and muddy. Makes me appriecate our rivers in Oregon. Maybe not all the rivers out here are muddy but all of them we've seen are, even the Whitewater River. 


Spent the afternoon at the creation museum. Bob says, "The Creation Museum is a great presentation of the Biblical account of God's creation. We were impressed by the many and varied types of displays. Definitely a 'must see' if you're in this part of the country!" They also had beautiful grounds which had lots of muddy water.  

On to Dry Ridge, Kentucky and Walmart 😐. We couldn't figure out why the parking lot was so full until we went for a walk and discovered the "Rockin the Ridge Festival" so we got to listen to the country music group, Colt Ford, sing songs  like: 'There ain't no trash in my trailer' and 'Time flys when you're having rum'

The crowd was a interesting mix to say the least.

Tomorrow we're off to see the replica of Noah's Ark.  Festival fireworks should start in just a few minutes... 🙃

Day 36 - July 17

(Happy Birthday Sis! 🎉 🎂) Onward!!! Nevada I am posting this picture mostly for the background... flat with mountains in the background. Great Basin National Park is right over the border. As we arrived at the park visitor center, we were greeted with the sight of a professional snake catcher and rangers who were attempting to catch a rattler that had been getting a little too close for comfort. Oh great, can't wait for this experience. I heard the catcher report in the lobby a bit later that he was done for today. It was to hot for him and would be to hot for the snake. They needed to caution people but he would be back the following morning when the snake should be out of hiding again. "Who" does a job like that, (clearing throat) Kyle 😑?? This would be a good place to put in a trivia fact. The Great Basin has it's own special species of rattlesnake 🐍 "The Great Basin Rattlesnake" 🐍 that is found no where else on 🌏😐 I don't care much for...

Day 34 blahblahblah

Oh my and what a day and night it was!! We did not have cell service from about 10am on. (These is being posted on day 37 because we have only had spots of data for minutes at a time since day 34) It felt like a different planet. We drove south out of Moab to Monument Valley. It is still puzzling how one minute there are huge mountains that are some shade of red and the next thing you know there are huge canyons that are more of a brown. Sometimes the road goes right through the middle of hills and canyons. Now there are other colors involved, green, white, grays and black, but we are talking dirt and rock colors. If there is vegetation it resembles sagebrush or juniper with a few cactus. There may be something once in awhile that has a tiny bloom but you would have to be walking to see it. At the bottom of the canyons there is something that involves water, a dry river bed, mud, standing water, or occasionally some amount of moving water. This means at the bottom there are things ...

Day 37 - Oregon or Bust

OREGON OR BUST!!!  Somehow being back where everything is familiar makes the last 37 days seem like a dream. Oh but what a dream it was! I asked Bob this morning if he would do it again for as long and he said yes, without hesitation. Hmmm, I'll have to let you know what I think. The trip home continues through Winnemucca then north to Denio, Nevada. Getting there we are so close to Oregon why not go to Fields, Oregon for a hamburger and milkshake. Anything you have ever heard about the hamburgers there are true. The hamburgers are very good and the meat patties are big. I would advise never ordering a "double". Once again the experience was a big part of it. Just a footnote: the milkshake was the best six dollar and something milkshake I've ever had!! We loved seeing Steens Mountain. Then back to Nevada, how could I resist the sign going the other way. And the first scene past the sign And the rest the town looked pretty much the same although we did se...
