High Country Driving in the Bighorn Mountains

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today, we are taking the long and bumpy ride to the Paint Rock Lakes. Paint Rock Lakes were one of my Dad’s favorite places and I had never been (at least not that I can remember).

The lakes are at a super high elevation and we had about a 30 degree temperature drop before we got to them. We made this drive on July 9, 2019 and you can see in the video the we are visited by snow/sleet.

We spent some time driving very slowly since some of the roads were terrible. There was even a sign that warned about hazardous roads. It took us most of the day to drive approximately 65 to 70 miles. But, we did see some gorgeous countryside and a few wild animals including deer and moose. We saw very few people.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

Smoking Waters

Posted on by Posted in Scenery .

We love going to the Hot Springs State Park in Thermopolis, Wyoming whenever we are in the area. It is billed as the world’s largest mineral hot springs.

The spring produces 3.6 million gallons of water per day at 127 degrees.

Freeze Out Bighorn Mountains

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

This spot is a favorite of many members of our family and it is referred to as Freeze Out. It is a very beautiful spot and the drive to it is wonderful.

When you google Freeze Out Point, Google Maps returns a location a few dozen miles to the north. I have provided information below to locate this exact spot. This is one of those places that takes you more than 2 hours to go 18 miles one way. A high clearance vehicle is needed and a 4 wheel drive is recommended.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

Boondocking at Buffalo Gap National Grassland

Posted on by Posted in Boondocking, RV Living, Scenery, Sightseeing .

This is a great place to to boondock (a.k.a. dry camp or dispersed camp) just outside of the north entrance of the Badlands National Park. The views are great, just as if you were in the national park itself.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

North Cascades National Park

This place is so cool and beautiful Mom said its almost enchanted. We were going to be there for a couple days but we ending up staying like 2 and a half weeks.

Caught In A Trap

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Welcome to Cheboygan Lock and Dam. I didn’t go to this place but I watched the video and it was cool. The guy that got in the water brought up a fish that looked like a small catfish. The top of his flippers were hard and the bottoms were flimsy. Then Dad and Elizabeth went down the “magical” path and found something that lets boats in and then out. The process to do this is kind of interesting. So you have to pull into a little “boat trap”, then you have to let the water down about 17 feet, then they open the doors and let you out. Even though I didn’t go to this place it was pretty cool to watch. Bye y’all.


Waterfalls Of North Cascades National Park

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

I see trees, I see you, I see waterfalls different shades of blue. We hiked part way up one of the waterfalls, I honestly loved doing that. Hiking is one of my favorite things to do. Some of these waterfalls weren’t there before it started raining.
