Hannah's terrific video of the hike does the trip more justice than my description does. We camped the night before at Green River Lakes Campground - 12$, no reservations. The hike begins at the parking lot - follow signs for the Hotline Trail, crossing the river. Day 1 - 12 Miles It's 12 miles to 3 Forks Park, which is just a series of meadows. The first three hours are very easy and scenic, and there were a few nice places to eat lunch midway there. The second half of the hike has a river crossing that your feet get wet. There were hundreds of downed trees to climb over, around, causing the hike to be over 7 hours, including lunch. There was also one very angry badger. Camping spots were sparse at 3 Forks Park, ... read more

June 1 We awoke this morning to the sounds of boats racing by as they were trying to get to their favorite fishing hole before others got there. Chores were on our plate for most of today. We walked the dogs around the campground to try and wear out Red. He seems more anxious than normal and he’s still having diarrhea. David called this morning to get an appointment with the vet at our next stop. We think at this point he must have some infection as we’ve tried diet changes that have not helped him. He isn’t throwing up and continues to have a good appetite. After our walk which we all enjoyed, it was time for “spa day” for the dogs. Toenail clipping and brushing. These two pups have not had their toenails clipped ... read more

May 31st We awoke this morning ready to get going to Flaming Gorge. I must admit that both David and I were ready for a longer stay so we can just rest. The dogs were able to romp in the dog park this morning and I got coffee on. Breakfast was a quick breakfast burrito. Red is still having stomach issues so we are keeping an eye on him. We all loaded up and pulled out of our spot and turned north again heading 64 miles to Flaming Gorge’s Lucerne Valley Campground. Shortly after we started and not yet out of town we hit road construction and thankfully it was very short but they’d slowed us down going up our first hill. The road north out of Vernal passes through similar geological formations and hills as ... read more

Wells, NV to Rock Springs, WY I knew it was going to be another long driving day and I woke up ready to go. The sun rose earlier here, we're further east but the time hasn't changed yet to mountain time. So by 7:30 it was bright, clear and starting to warm up. The elevation was 5,233 ft, still in the high desert, so the night cools quickly. There was an occasional train last night but it wasn't bad, rather enjoyed the sound of the whistle. We were out of there by 8:30 am, almost a new record for me, gassed up and got on 80 E and soon hit 70 mph. The speed limit was 75 but I'm not comfortable going that fast. It was calm and beautiful, the sun had risen enough that even ... read more

Geo: 41.5289, -109.467The weather changed as well as the temperature. It rained off and on most of the way across Wyoming and the temperature dropped to 50 degrees. I stopped at a rest stop to take a 30 minute nap, but before I did, a couple of gophers and chipmunks entertained me with their antics.... read more
