Fall Migration - Day 10

Lots of history in the area, not the least of which is that it was favorite hangout canyons for Butch Cassidy  & his gang. Also lots of coal mining history & ghost towns.

Fall Migration - Day 10

We discovered a nice small state park in about the middle of Utah, staying 3 nights (2 days). The vistas are sweet, the lake is low, the cottonwoods are just turning gold the rv spots are paved & real big with grass all around.

Fall Migration - Evening 8

WOW! We were just treated at a spectacular sunset in Nephi Utah. This is the setting sun shining on the snowcapped mountain very near the RV park. Nope. I did no enhancement.

Fall Migration - Day 8

Due to rain, wind, and rather chilly temperatures, we stayed two nights in Ely NV when we were only planning one night there. We had anticipated spending a few days in the San Rafael Swell (adjacent to I-70 in central Utah), but there has been a lot of rain & you really can't venture off the highways . . . so we changed the plan. We will head on to NoCo via roads less traveled and stay at some lightly used Utah state parks.

Our drive from Ely to Nephi Utah today was easy & uneventful, and fairly scenic. There was snow on the mountains at Ely as well as high peaks along the way. I love the juxtaposition of this large wind farm against the snowcapped mountains. Shots from the moving truck, through the windows.

 It is warmer & we have sunshine now 😎.

Fall Migration - Day 5

Today we took the 'road less traveled' from west of Lakeview OR, through the northeast corner of CA, and down hwy 447 in NV to Fernley, east of Reno. We passed through Black Rock Desert and Smoke Creek Desert, and skirted Pyramid Lake. It was quite a drive - amazingly scenic  vistas interspersed with really boring desert and tiny remote settlements literally in the middle of nowhere. One stretch had these wild clouds in the canyons. Yes, that's snow on the peaks.

Fall Migration Day 3

We spent 2 nights at a nice RV park south of LaPine OR, where we had a wonderful day & evening with our old friends the McCues. So good to see them, and to see the great new 'cabin' they built in the woods.

Today we traveled on to another great RV park on a working ranch in the hills west of Lakeview OR, where we'll spend 2 nights. We discovered this place last spring, and it is a new favorite. The trees are just beginning to turn here - this cluster is vibrant already.

Fall Migration

We sadly left the Oregon coast today, always hate to go but it is really is time to begin the fall migration.  We hope to be treated to glowing autumnal colors for the next couple months.
