Week In Review (Season 3 Week 16)

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Kaylla Posted in RV Living, Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today we at Newhalem Campground in the Cascades.
We had Verizon and AT&T 4G service.

We also visited Ladder Creek Falls. The falls looked like a ladder, they also “light up at dark”. The board at the beginning of the falls said there was 160 stairs but they “lied”. We didn’t count but it didn’t feel like 160 stairs, there was maybe 60-65 stairs.

We also made a stop at Twede’s Cafe and learned that the cafe was the R&R Diner in the TV show Twin Peaks from the 1990’s. The server was really nice and he joked with us kids. The food wasn’t the best but it wasn’t too bad. The mashed potatoes tasted bagged and bland. I don’t know how you can mess up mashed potatoes but they figured it out.

Niagara Falls – Maid of the Mist

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Kaylla Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today, we have the honor of seeing America’s gem, Niagara Falls! The water was super cool, and there was much to see and do. You can do a trolley tour or a boat tour “Maid Of The Mist”! The boat actually takes you right up next to the falls! You can also do the Cave Of The Winds self tour, which allows you to walk right next to the Bridal Falls on the American side. You can go to the “Hurricane Deck” and stand partly UNDERNEATH the Bridal Falls. A little expensive, as to be expected, but totally worth it.

NIAGARA FALLS – Cave Of The Winds

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Kaylla Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today, we visited Cave of the Winds at Niagara Falls.

Up on the platforms, there was probably 3 inches of water on the wood.

My favorite part of Cave of the Winds was the hurricane deck. On the hurricane deck it felt like ice was hitting your face. Amber and I went to the corner where part of the water fall was coming down and we could feel the water from the falls on our backs and shoulders.

Although the water was cold, we had fun. What I can tell you though is that you might want a extra pair of clothes, we did not and we regretted it. Ponchos were provided with the tour.

The platforms beside the falls get taken down every year and then put back up in the spring.

Tower Falls – Yellowstone National Park

Posted on August 29, 2019 by Kaylla Posted in RV Living, Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today we visited Tower Falls, Yellowstone National Park. It is kinda north of the lake, I do recommend visiting the Tower Falls. As you see, Dad is very thirsty and wanted a drink of the nice water from the falls.

West Thumb – Yellowstone National Park

Posted on August 22, 2019 by Kaylla Posted in RV Living, Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today we visited the West Thumb in Yellowstone National Park.

This is located in the lower area of Yellowstone. The geysers put off a lot of heat, it kinda feels like you are in a sauna. The walk around these geysers was not very long.

Mom didn’t go on this walk because we didn’t know if we could get the wheelchair through the boardwalk.

It was really cool how some of the geysers we’re kinda erupting.

It is funny how everyone was looking at one and another one across from it got jealous and boiled a bunch. We met a group of people that told us that one of the geysers is 53 feet deep.

The lake was very very pretty.

It was cool how there was one geyser with hot water coming out right next to the cold water lake.

The water that the girls and I touched was cold and it was from some of the geysers. The reason that it was cold is because it was going through a little stream which cooled the water off.
