Lassen--Day 2--Hiking to King's Creek Falls

Lassen National Park

 Our last 3 nights were spent near Lassen National Park and we didn't have wi-fi so we didn't post any pictures. These were taken our first day in the park.

Grant's Pass, OR

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TODAY!! We took a jet boat ride on the Rogue River and it was great. It was fast (50 mph) and wet with 360 degree spins.  Great Fun.

Osprey

Eugene, OR

We saw this unit at the RV park in Eugene. They sure love their Oregon Ducks football team there.

Ken Kesey Memorial

Mt. St. Helen's

Bean wasn't happy with this at all.

Mt. St. Helen's

We ended up spending 3 nights near Mt. St. Helen's, not by design. We had another wheel bearing go out on the trailer, had to be towed and repaired so we've decided to head on home and skip Seattle this time.

Portland

We drove the Columbia River Parkway to Multnomah Falls and saw many waterfalls along the way. We could have spent a few more days seeing all the sights.

Bean's been doing well on this trip.

Portland--Wednesday Night

Wednesday night, we went to Powell's Books--a ginormous bookstore and Voodoo Doughnuts. Gary had a maple bacon bar and I had a voodoo doll. We had seen stories about the place on the Food Network and it was on our list of places to eat.

Home

Sigh.

Hawthorne, NV

We had planned on driving further today but all trucks and RV's were being stopped due to high winds. We're just glad there was a nice RV park right here. We also have heard that there is snow in the Sierra. As my brother said, at least tornadoes don't usually occur in Nevada. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better--we'd like to get home.

Las Vegas

Well, we are such dorks--we forgot to take the camera on our trip into Vegas. We both left our cell phones in the trailer because we didn't want to be bothered so we couldn't even take bad pictures. We ate at a WONDERFUL buffet at Wynn's Hotel Casino, drove down the strip and did some shopping at the Vanity Fair outlet. We stopped at the "Pawn Stars" pawn shop (History Channel) but they were closed for filming. We tried to peek in the door but we couldn't see any of the guys. Still, we had a great time ande we've had our fill of Las Vegas.

Bryce Canyon, Utah

Today, we hiked into Bryce Canyon and we have so many wonderful pictures, it's hard to choose which ones to post. And we had beautiful weather--now that our trip is almost over.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Today, we arrived at Bryce Canyon and it is so beautiful. I'm glad we decided to stop here.

Arches National Park -- Friday

We spent Friday in the park and we didn't have the best weather. It rained several times but we were able to see everything and do all the hiking we wanted to do. What a wonderful place.
