US West & South West Parks ~ Part 1 Of Several

Mid May 2009, Tom & Jo ferried off San Juan Island, Wa. on our trusty little "Harvey the RV". We headed West thru Spokane, Bozeman Mt., Yellowstone and Denver Co. Where we visited with nifty relatives, saw sights & re connected. We stayed in private RV Camps, City and State Parks, and of course, National Parks. Our jaunt took
us further South and West.
