Badlands National Park

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Guess what! We finally made it to the Badlands National Park!
Well there is just about everything to do here in example, there was a lot of Bighorn Sheep “everywhere”. Also there is a lot of trails to hike. I recommend to bring water and hiking boots

This place is really cool and beautiful.
I also recommend taking a drive around and look at what one can see in a matter of hours.
It took us most the day but we were also stopping “every 2 seconds” to look at so many different rocks, caves and, much more.

So if you are around the Badlands area, take a day and go look around.
Oh yeah, I thought would mention there is not a store or town near there so if you are looking to stay get your food and gas before you get there.

Halsey (a singer) did one of her songs here and her Badlands album cover was taken in the Badlands.

There is no words to describe how much FUN we had here in the Badlands National Park.

Thank you Badlands for a good time and a wonderful video lol!

Week In Review (Season 3 Week 21)

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

This week was another busy week.

Dad “surprised” Elizabeth with B.Brian Preserve. You might be wondering what is this “B.Brian Preserve”. Well, I have the answer to your question, its a place with zebras, antelope, and giraffes 🦒. The place is breeding these animals to re-introduce them to Africa.

Then we slowly make our way to Glass Beach. Rumor has it you can’t keep the glass from the beach. History time children, so a bunch of people were throwing trash and glass on this beach 50 years ago. The water pulled the glass and stuff out and when it “spit” it back out it would hit the rocks and some how smooth the edges of the glass so now you can walk on it and not cut yourself.

Then we moved onto, One Log House. In my opinion, you would have to worry about mold and stuff but it was cool. It is just like a tiny house or a tiny RV with no slides.

Week In Review (Season 3 Week 20)

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

This week was a busy week.

First, we went to Avenue of the Giants. This place was full of HUGE Redwoods trees to be exact. We even bought a Sequoia redwood to take home to plant. We even played Tarzan lol. I only know of one Redwood tree and that’s the Sequoia. Knowing me, I was probably told but I forgot lol. I gotta say, Avenue of the Giants you didn’t let us down.

Later that week we went to Trees of Mystery. This place was really cool. We took a tram up to the top deck. We could even see the ocean from that deck.

Anyway, we then continue off to Klamath Tour Thru Tree. Now this place was REALLY cool, we can’t fit the truck in there but we manage to get part of the front of it in there.

As we continue down the road we went to this “cheese place” (a cheese factory). There are so many different cheeses out there I didn’t even know about.

Then our last destination was the cemetery. From what it looked like, the people there were from like the 1800s.

Like I said “this week was REALLY busy”.

Thumbs Up Antelope Island

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today we are hanging out with some more family members and visiting Antelope Island. Fun fact, the island doesn’t actually have any antelope on the island, only buffalo! The island was actually in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. It had amazing views but was HOT! You should take a visit if you are near.

Week In Review (Season 3 Week 19)

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

First, we went to the Sea Lion Caves.
This place was really cool looking at all the sea lions.
I loved this place so much I even drew a “cowboy sea lion” when we got back to the house.

Then we moved on to the Depoe Bay whale watching place.
We even caught a tail on video… yay.
The boat ride was really cool, we got to not only see whales but jellyfish too.

We also took a stop by West Coast Game Park Safari.
We got to feed and pet many different animals.
I got a kick outta watching the bears wave when you shake your food cone at them.

The campgrounds were clean and quiet.
The Alder Dune Campground was basically empty. There was no one but us, the camp host, and one other person.
The Cape Blanco Campground filled up really fast every night but that aside, this was a really nice campground.

Shoshone Ice Caves

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Welcome to Shoshone Ice Caves.

This ice cave is really cool and historical place to see.

A young boy discovered this ice cave.

In the 1880s, the cave was an ice source for the town of Shoshone.
They shipped the ice out west. Inside the ice cave it has a slick wet board “bridge” to get down to the back of the cave.

The cave has about 5 feet of ice below you so you can’t break it.

It was about $32 for Dad, Amber, Elizabeth, and me Kaylla to get in there. It was really fun to explore.

Stokes State Park New Jersey

Posted on by Posted in Scenery .

Today we are visiting Stokes State Park in New Jersey! This park had free artisan water and some hiking trails, I think. The trees were amazing! They twisted and turned and grew out of each other, it was like something you would see in a movie! It was an amazing trip and definitely worth it!

Southern Loop – Yellowstone National Park

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

Today we are visiting the Yellow Stone National Park Southern Loop. This loop contains Old Faithful, Gibbon Falls and other cool things. The southern loop is probably my favorite part of Yellowstone. It has a lot of waterfalls and trails as well. It is very beautiful like the rest of the park.

And in the words of Jupiter:

Watkins Glen Sate Park

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today, we are visiting Watkins Glen State Park! It’s a gorge FULL of natural waterfalls. You take a long trail to see all these waterfalls, its a mild/rough rating and some parts of the trails are slick due to water from the waterfalls splashing on the trail. You can walk behind some of these waterfalls, which is super cool! Definitely great for taking those aesthetic pictures for Instagram, am I right? LOL! This place was really beautiful and definitely worth visiting, one of the best parts is that it is FREE! That’s right, it’s free entry! I recommend you visit if you can!

Week In Review (Season 3 Week 17)

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

We are staying at Denny Creek Campground in Washington. We had Verizon and AT&T service which is always good.

We also took the time to walk down into Franklin Falls. The hike was almost 2.5 miles round trip. There are bathrooms at the beginning of the trail so you might wanna go then because there are not any further down the trail. The trail down into the falls was not that hard but it is not wheelchair accessible. When you get close to the falls the trail turns into a narrow rock ledge.
You could get right up to the falls but we didn’t get in the water and swim. We stayed at the edge of the pool at the bottom.

Wings Over Washington was really cool. I would definitely do that again.

The Volunteer Park was cool. I liked climbing on the trees and chasing squirrels around.

The Ferris Wheel on the pier was really cool. When you get to the top, you get a nice view of Seattle, Washington. Elizabeth wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel but at the top she was a little worried about falling but she still had fun.
