8:15 and got "the last" site in a Wisconsin State Campgrounds. Yes!!! It's nice to be out of the cities and there are trees everywhere. 

We got setup in time to hike down to the water fall, Willow Fall on the Willow River. In this case what went down had to come back up and we made it!!!

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 ...

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...
