We loved Wyoming and almost bought an RV lot in Star Valley, south of Jackson Hole. With whitewater rafting, golfing, fishing, swimming and pickleball, we thought it a perfect place for the family to come visit us. However, when I found out it closes October 1st due to snow and doesn't open until mid-May...due to snow...need I say more!
We moved through Utah, camping at Bear Lake State Park. Due to heavy rain and flooding from mountain snow the 2 mile beach was under water along with 20-year old treees. This didn't take from the beauty of the lake itself.
The road out of there was switch-back, hairpin turns. Yikes! We met new friends parked next to us in Utah, Paul and Mary. They are Escapees who bought their Holiday Rambler at the same place we did! Mary clued us in on Escapee properties and we will check some out this winter.
Next, after camping at the Terry Bison Ranch (again) and having a bison burger (rated #1 by Food Channel Chef Bobby Flay) we headed over to the Rocky Mountains.
The Rockies have their own special beauty and we wished we had more time to explore
them. Sadly, no stinking MOOSE! However, our camper-neighbor went bow and arrow hunting and shot an elk! So we were invited to an elk cookout over Labor Day weekend. On to Colorado Springs where we will have new toppers put on two slides. Along the way we hope to meet up with other RV-friends moving South for the winter.

Mountain Adventurous
I really love all this camping and adventure in the woods experience. I´ve been to Colorado a couple of times with my family and it’s amazing. Something similar but with a train involved in the trip, much more fun, was the Chepe adventure. Here you travel in a train through beautiful natural landscapes and make stops in the villages nearby. Really nice trip.
