Beautiful Oregon coast. We stopped to let the kids and Lucydog out of the truck for an airing and run on the beach. Lucy loved it, she can still outrun the kids. Arrived in Portland and booked into a very neat and tidy RV Park, that was a cross between a car park …

North California
Napa Valley Wine region and a road side stop for dinner. You are only allowed to stay at rest stops for 8 hours so we moved on to the next one but it was a bit exposed to the highway so we decided to continue on and camp behind a school. I would rather be …
Sacramento and San Francisco
Our second stay at a Harvest Host, it is so nice to stay in the country on a farm. Sacramento, California The main reason for going to Sacramento was to catch up with Christine. We met at work many years ago and did a trip to the USA together. First time we have …
Yosemite National Park, California.
On the way to Yosemite we stayed at our first harvest host. A beautiful vineyard, almond grove and vege garden. We parked next to the shed looking onto the almond trees. At this site they had water as well as electric hook up, unbelievable seeing as it was all in exchange for some wine …
Sequoia National Park
The Ram dually-truck camper-travel trailer was too big to take up the mountain to camp at Sequoia National Park so we stayed at the KOA and just took the Ram dually up the mountain. There was a snow storm predicted for that afternoon so we were supposed to have chains in case of this, but …

The vegetation got sparser as we drove further down into the valley, by the time we hit sea level, all the vegetation had dried up. We …

After leaving Zion we boondocked at a lovely spot with plenty of space. Zion was full, there was no chance of getting any accommodation there. The next night we were crammed into a KOA at St George, the only reason we were there was to pick up mail and the generator Derek had ordered. We …
Bryce and Zion Canyons
Bryce Canyon Everyone had told us how beautiful Bryce is, so it was definitely on our list of places to visit. It didn’t disappoint. The first night we were there it snowed which was great timing, it was beautiful. The kids were outside having snow fights at 10pm and in the morning we woke up …
Grand Staircase Escalante
On the way to Bryce we stopped at the old Paria ghost town movie set in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, near Kanab, Utah. The movie set had been burnt down years ago but the scenery was still magnificent and worth the detour. The Grand stair case, has the worlds most complete sequence of …

Back to Arizona, and onto Page. Camped at Walmart, thanks Kay and Rob for the tip. We were not the only ones there, but this is the first Walmart that we have seen that still allows overnight stays. The bend around the bend from Horse Shoe Bend We went to have a look at …
