September 26 Thursday - Drove from Barstow, California to Arroyo Grande, California
There were lots of oil wells pumping as we drove through the area around the town of Taft, Ca. Missing the McKitnik turn-off we continued south around the Monument mountains. We arrived on the coast at about 5 pm and found a Motel 6 in Grover Beach and after settling in we drove down to Fins Seafood Bar and Grill at the beach. Accompanying our very tasty dinner was Jane's Gang performing music from a number of different genres.The songs I knew were the 70's and 80's.

September 28 Saturday - Grover Beach to Livermore, California
After spending a day visiting cousins outside of the town of Arroyo Grande we left and headed north on the coastal highway. That route was not speedy but very beautiful. Given options I would choose to do this going southbound rather than northbound as there are lots of pull-outs with exceptional views. Parts of this road are windy, twisting along the crags of the coastal hills but there are sections where the state has spent time widening the road. We arrived in Livermore around 6 just in time for dinner made for all by my aunt.
We would spend the next couple of days visiting cousins, having lunch at the golf club and relaxing. There are lots of vineyards around Livermore that produce very good wine.

October 1 Tuesday - Livermore to Bodega Bay, California
After a beautiful breakfast we left my aunt and headed north. There are tolls for all bridges in the San Francisco area and with the morning commute hour decided to avoid going into the city. We took a northern highway paying a toll on one bridge and headed to Beringer's Winery in Napa Valley. Once again I missed a turn so we headed north on one road out of Napa and came to Calistoga. I was kind of glad to have missed the original turn-off as the ride through the valley was filled with the colours of fall. Calistoga is a small unique touristy town with the old buildings. Circling through the town we headed back south and eventually found Beringer's Winery. The estate is amazing. The drive into the parking lot takes you under some huge old trees that shade the lawns and gardens from the intense summer sun. Buying 2 bottles of wine there and taking some pictures we left. A short distance north is the Culinary Institute where one can indulge in food created by students. Due to time we decided to forgo that pleasure and head to the coast. Choosing a more direct west route we took a narrow road that had a number of washouts where the road was slowly slipping away down an embankment. I do like adventure but this was almost scary. Arriving on the other side of these hills we breathed a sigh of relief as we were now on a well paved 2 lane highway not worried about deer in the road as we came around corners. Our nightly stop was at Bodega Bay where we got a nice room at the Bodega Harbour Inn. Bodega Bay was the town used by Alfred Hitchcock in his famous film THE BIRDS.


October 2 - Wednesday - Bodega Bay to Fort Bragg
As mentioned before the coast highway can be windy and sometimes quite narrow. Do not be in a hurry. Some drivers know the road and I pulled over to let those in a hurry pass. Enjoying the scenery is really not possible if you are the driver and needing to concentrate on keeping your vehicle on the road. Traveling north falling into the ocean seemed unlikely but there were areas that had road fixing after rock slides so no matter which way one was driving danger could be right around the corner. California has spent a lot of money on road upgrades along with bridges to make this very scenic drive safer. This route is an absolute must see for all those visiting this state. Allow 4 to 6 hours to travel between these two locations mainly if you stop and visit the small hamlets and villages along the way and the many viewpoints. We saw elk in a field of cattle along the way. Arriving in Fort Bragg we settled into the Beachcomber Motel. We were given a room with a huge hot tub where I would spend some time relaxing and soaking. We decided to spend 2 nights here and then headed for a seafood dinner on the Noyo River looking out toward the Pacific. We sat at a picnic table, ate and watched the sun go down. Delicious food!


October 4 - Fort Bragg to Brookings, Oregon
Leaving the next day from Fort Bragg I decided that someone else drive. We got some edibles from the motel and fuelled up. Climbing up the coastal mountains going north is a challenge. I had done all the driving and I had driven this part of the highway a number of times. The road is narrow and windy, winding between large Redwood trees. It had been mentioned that roads heading inland from here were all narrow and windy so it really didn't matter which route we took. It was nice to sit back and enjoy the ride and be the navigator. It took about 1 1/2 hours to get to Highway 101. The #1 was a beautiful route but to be honest I was glad to be back on a wider road with gentle corners. The trees along Highway 101 take your breath away: tall sturdy and old. We did not drive along the Avenue of the Giants, but we had a glimpse of the lives of these magnificent trees. We came across a large herd of elk ( maybe 100 ) grazing in a field. Northern California has it's beauty with the beaches, animal life and plant life. We went through Eureka and Crescent City before arriving in Brookings, Oregon around 4 pm. We found an Oceanside motel with a room with 2 king beds and a small balcony where we could sit and watch the waves crash against the rocks and logs that laid on the beach. I was itching to consume some Mexican food and we were directed to a restaurant in the town center. La Floras Mexican Restaurant had a kind of 50's look to it. The food was great, A+, and so was our waitress.

October 5 - Brookings to Wilsonville south of Portland
Our vacation was slowly coming to an end and getting home seemed to be on our minds. We headed east from 101 to connect with Interstate 5 making it to south of Portland. The car needed an oil change and a Jiffy Lube was spotted from the highway. Making a number of turns we arrived just before they closed and had the car attended to. Across the street was spotted a motel and a restaurant. We got a rather small room in the ma & pa motel and headed for dinner next door. I had never heard of the Black Bear Diner but they are located in the central and western US. The restaurant houses a lot of old items and time could be spent browsing around looking at old newspapers, pictures,etc. like a museum. The food was presented like artwork and very tasty with the waitress being most accommodating.

October 6 - Wilsonville to Home
Today was our last day on the road and traveled up Highway 5 with a stop at a roadside rest and when we arrived in Bellingham a major grocery purchase was done. Looking back over the travels I was glad to have some of my bucket list emptied. As imagined the trip took it's toll. Having done cruises the financial and health goal is far less. Packing daily, finding places to eat, sleep, and washrooms take time and I spent more than I would have spent on a cruise. The positive aspect is being able to stop and take pictures and stay in an area that feels good. Cruising might leave you behind but it is a great way to see many places, then you plan where you want to stay on your next vacation. HAPPY TRAVELS FOLKS!

September 21, Saturday -Dillon to Montrose, Colorado
Today we left Dillon and continued on our journey exploring the routes of Colorado. We traveled West on I-70 to highway 24 heading south connecting with 285 south to Poncha Springs and west on highway 50 to Montrose. Many of the highways overlap one another and this day's journey was very scenic as marked on our map. Montrose is a lovely town and bigger than we expected. Arriving about 3:15 we got the last room in the Country Lodge. Each room has a theme, beautiful gardens, and well-maintained, family owned lodge. We could tell they were proud of their establishment. Our first night we were in the John Wayne room and deciding to stay another night when we were moved to the Wildlife room. Both room themes backed up the pictures that hung on the wood walls. Today was sunny and we ended the day with dinner at the Ted Nelson Steakhouse. Excellent food and service!

September 22 - Sunday
We spent today relaxing, reading, playing scrabble over-looking the swimming pool and the hot tub. There were still a lot of blooming flowers and green grass making the area very inviting. A sunny day added to that enjoyment.

September 23- Monday - Montrose to Kayenta, Arizona
Leaving Montrose about 10:15 after picking up a quick breakfast at McDonald's, we headed south. We needed to get to Cortez to pick up more quilting goods before the store closed. Montrose Is spread out over 3 or 4 miles. We took 550 south to Durango enchanted by old buildings that had been built in a bygone era. Ouray is one of those towns and other than all the tourists milling around you can almost picture the miners bringing their gold and other found minerals into the assayer for payment. The road south of Ouray was a bit of a challenge. It was narrow and windy with a cliff drop-off so far down that one could not see the bottom. There were no guard rails so the driver needs to concentrate on driving while the passengers enjoy the view. We passed old ghost towns and shutdown mines. The Durango-Silverton train had been used in mining but now the narrow gauge rail line is a tourist attraction. We followed a stream that was yellow and assumed that it came from a shut down sulfer operation. Leaving Durango we traveled west on 160 to Cortez. As we left the greenery of the mountains the vistas opened up to orange/pinkish sand and geology that was a wonder to see.
After our stop in Cortez we hit the isolation of the desert. A 15 minute downpour drenched the earth and the miles of cactus plants with no motels caused a little panic in my mind. There were small communities and "Four Corners" had tourists. Four Corners is where Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona meet. We finally arrived in Kayenta, Arizona in the Navaho Reservation. We stayed at the Monument Valley Inn. The room was overpriced but was comfortable but the dinner we had was very good with a delicious salad bar. The hotel and restaurant as well as every business has native employees all of whom were very accommodating. Our day had some rain but mainly overcast.

September 24 - Tuesday - Kayenta to Williams
We picked up coffee at the chevron station after checking out of the Monument Valley Inn and headed to the Grand Canyon on the south rim taking 160 to highway 89 south to highway 64 west into the south rim of the canyon. Needing to buy some fridge magnets we stopped in a souvenir shop as we took in a number of viewpoints along the route. The sun played on the canyon walls giving colours of yellow gold to violet purple hues. We took a number of pictures and drove into the village. This is probably like West Yellowstone: if you want to spend the night here book ahead. There were many people enjoying the national park and many animals: squirrels, chipmunks, and a lot of elk. The day was very warm but at the end of it we found the Canyon Inn and RV Park in Williams, Arizona. After settling into our cabin we learned that this is Route 66. This place is unique in the collection of old vehicles. A caboose from the ATSF rail era sat ready to be slept in all decked out as a motel room. We saw an old fire truck and other machinery from long ago. Unable to climb the caboose steps we had opted for a cabin with less steps.

September 25 - Wednesday - Williams, Arizona to Barstow, California
We left the Canyon Inn about 9:15 and drove through Williams along Route 66. I stopped and took a picture of a road sign of Route 66. Another realization occurred in Williams where we pulled in to a rail parking lot and took pictures of the Grand Canyon Rail Train which runs from Williams to the Grand Canyon. While we looked why there comes a train totally devoted to UPS parcels and it made me realize just how much internet shopping has taken over our life. We followed 66 until it hit US 40 westbound. We stopped in Kingman for fuel and brunch, and headed north on 93 to see Hoover Dam.
There was no charge at the dam but there is a security check. It was a very hot day but there was enough desire to take many pictures in the sweltering heat. Getting some magnets and cold drinks we left Hoover Dam, and missing a turn off, we ended up in the afternoon commute hour of Las Vegas with bumper to bumper freeway traffic. Despite the traffic we looked over the casino row of hotels. Once out of the city we made for Barstow, California via 15 where we got the last ground floor room in a Motel 6.

October 27, 2019 – at home and recovered from a very exhausting trip. I will now go back in time and bring you all up-to-date with our adventures taken from my journal.

Monday September 16 2019 – Belle Fourche, South Dakota to Wheatland, Wyoming

      We left the Ace Motel about 10:00, fueled up, picked up a Stonehenge quilting pattern and headed back through town on Highway 85. We then headed west on Highway 34 to see Devil's Tower in Wyoming. When we crossed the state line the highway became highway 24. Devil's Tower is a volcanic cone and has nothing to do with Hollywood alien movies or quaint native myths. The earth around the core eroded away leaving the existing monument. We have seen many motorcycles in the past few days from Mount Rushmore area to Devil's Tower. The Harley Davidson motorcycle enthusiasts congregate yearly at Sturgis, South Dakota and 100s ride to Devil's Tower. We did not see the rally of the motorcycles but there sure were a lot of them hanging in the area. Stopping and taking pictures of the monument, buying some magnets and enjoying a huge ice cream cone we continued along route 24 to 14 and south to Moorcroft. We then headed southeast on 16 to Newcastle and enjoyed a drive straight south on 85 to Lusk and west on 18/20 until we hit highway 25. The east part of Wyoming has rolling hills with lots of grassland. We saw pronghorns in great numbers feeding on these grasses and wondered if they are wild or are being farm raised. Pronghorns are known by a more common term- the American Antelope. Lots of oil drills in the east part of Wyoming along with wind turbines. The day was long and very warm so we were very glad to settle into the All American Motel in Wheatland on US highway 25.

September 17, 2019 – Tuesday- Wheatland south to Denver

Today was going to be a day of errand shopping as promised so we headed into Fort Collins to a quilt shop for another pattern. The drive was warm but overcast and after leaving Fort Collins we headed straight to Parker, south of Denver on it's outskirts, for another pattern. With some time spent driving around looking for the store we did finally find it., got the quilt kit and headed back north into Denver for accommodations. We settled into a Motel 6 after a nice dinner at IHOP.

September 18- stayed in Denver area

We visited a cousin and shared some family history with one another, had a wonderful meal and just general chit-chat and left with great memories as we returned to Motel 6.

September 19, 2019 – Denver to Dillon, Colorado

Leaving Motel 6 we gassed up, got coffee and drove south on 25 but there were no signs to indicate Pike's Peak and I drove passed the turnoff about 20 miles. We got directions but noticed the sign northbound that indicated the route. Highway 87 took us to the road to Pike's peak. There were no view points and upon arriving at the park entrance I made a decision not to pay 30$ for entrance to drive up the peak when really all I wanted was to take a picture. Maybe someone will come up with a way to take a picture while being on the peak. So we left, went back to 87 and traveled west to 24 and then north on 9 to I-70. We went through Alma said to be the highest town in the continental US, crossed the continental divide at Hoosier Pass (11,547 feet), and dropped into the Rocky Mountain Basin about 30 miles wide. I had never seen this huge wide basin expanse as it is south of I-70 which I have driven a number of times. We drove through Beckenridge reminding me of Whistler. It had few motels but lots of condos and a lot of ski areas. The day was beautiful and the journey ended with a two night stay in the Super 8 in Dillon west on 70 from 9.

September 20, 2019

Today we drove to Vail to visit another set of cousins. We shared our family exchanges and enjoyed the view from their mountain home, ate munchies and shared stories but then returned to Super 8.

Saturday, September 14, 2019 - Casper, Wyoming to Custer City, South Dakota

     We left Casper from Motel 6 about 10:15 and went south on 25 to Douglas, Wyoming, north on 59 to Wright and east on 450 to Custer City. We found a very nice older motel decked out 50s style: the Rocket Motel. On our drive we saw miles of rolling hills: some with pronghorns and some with cattle. Lots of natural resource development: oil processing, natural gas, and nuclear energy plants, The day was sunny and warm,

Sunday September 15, 2019 - Custer City, South Dakota to Belle Fourche, South Dakota

     Today we left Custer City, a touristy old-western town, and headed to Mount Rushmore. The Black Hills are a sight to see. The rock formations carved out by wind, rain, and ice are impressive indeed! Mt. Rushmore had many vehicles going and coming from parking areas. After snapping a couple of pictures of the presidents we carried on and eventually getting ourselves lost on a very narrow and windy 2 lane road. The speed was 25 mph with lots of hairpin turns at 15 mph. We went through 3 tunnels cut out of the stone that sparkled with mica. I will say that it was an interesting drive. We finally got ourselves re-oriented so we could head north on 385 passing through Deadwood, South Dakota and on to 85 north to Belle Fourche. We retired into the Ace Motel run by a very chatty lady who gave directions for everything. Now some may wonder how or why we ended up in Belle Fourche. Well, we promised a friend that we would try and collect some quilting patterns for her from certain cities,

 

     Now an interesting addendum to our cabin in the woods on a snowy/rainy night. We headed to bed leaving the bathroom light on as a nightlight. Shortly after midnight a knock sounded at the door. Do we answer it or just continue sleeping? I have to admit that I was a bit nervous and slid down under the covers. Eventually the door was answered and standing on the porch was a man in his mid 40s so wet and almost freezing. He apologized for the disturbance but desperately needed a drink of water. He looked like he was ready to die. Giving him a blanket and an extra jacket he slept in our car. He had been attempting to walk from Cooke City to Red Lodge after being robbed and his truck breaking down. Checking the car the next morning I am pleased to say that nothing went missing and he left the blanket and the jacket.

      I also failed to mention that while dining at the Borscht Bowl in Grand Forks I made a comment to the waitress that there were a lot of places to sample various types of food and she agreed." Lots of food but you can not buy shoes" she said. We laughed.

 

Thursday September 12, 2019 - Top of the World Motel to Casper, Wyoming

        We drove to Red Lodge as the sun was bright and warm and the road was opened. The road made switch backs and climbed up to nearly 11,000 feet giving scenic views that are  hard to verbalize. This scenic route is one of my favorites. I would recommend this road for those who do photography and have the spirit of adventure. The road is narrow so take your time and use the viewpoints. We continued along 212 until we joined up to I-90 continuing east. I made an error and headed south on 25 instead of staying on 90. My plan to get to Mount Rushmore was now going to be delayed. The ride south through the rolling hills with golden-yellow grass caused some discussion  as we saw pronghorns grazing in the fields. There was a time when they were wild. Are they now being raised  like cattle? Or maybe they are used in canned hunting. I would have to be really hungry to shoot one of these beautiful animals. We arrived in Casper at around 4pm and found a lovely Motel 6. We spotted it from the highway but needed to put up our exploring antenna to actually get to it. This motel was very well maintained and had a number of disabled rooms with amenities. We chose to spend 2 nights here and after all the business was taken care of we headed to Red Lobster. Casper is a spread out city with slightly more than 55,000 residents.

Friday September 13,2019

       Today was a sit around day, rest and read and did some typing.

Thank you.

My apologies for not keeping up on this blog. Doing most of the driving I record the daily points and excursions into my daily journal and then transfer them here.

Tuesday September 10, 2019 - Missoula, Montana to West Yellowstone

     Today was a long day of driving with a view of cranes along I-90. Deciding to head south at Belgrade we fuelled up and bought some dinner items. The drive out of Belgrade on 85 went north for a few miles giving me cause to wonder if I had made a wrong turn. Eventually 85 became 191 and we were heading south.191 follows along the banks of the Gallatin River with some very picturesque views and some minor construction delays. We were both amazed at the traffic coming toward us but when we went through Big Sky the traffic ceased. Most of the traffic was coming from highway 64 which goes to a ski area. We reasoned that there must be some major construction up that highway. We arrived ay West Yellowstone at about 5 pm and after spending almost an hour looking for a motel that was not booked we found one of two remaining very expensive rooms at the Yellowstone Westgate Hotel. We learned there is no "off season" in Yellowstone so book you reservation ahead of your arrival. Once into our room we were both fairly tired and relieved as the stress of finding a place faded into relaxation.

Wednesday September 11, 2019  West Yellowstone to Top of the World Motel

     This morning we left the Yellowstone Westgate Hotel at 10:15. We did a drive through the park with a stop at Old Faithful geyser. It was rainy but we wanted to see as much of it as possible so we drove along the shore of Yellowstone Lake and eventually came to highway 212. My original plan was to stop for the night at Cooke City but once again there were no available accommodations so we set off for Red Lodge, but about 20 miles or so a truck stopped us and told us the road was barricaded due to  snow. While it rained in the valley it snowed in the mountains.  For those readers that have never been on this road it climbs to almost 11,000 feet. Well, now what shall we do? The closest city was Cody, Wyoming about 80 miles away, We turned around ready to head to Cody when we passed a sign " Top Of The World Motel". This was a quaint, old building that had 4 joining rooms in one building and a market in another. We got room 2 with all amenities necessary. We were the only customers there. With such quietness we went to sleep leaving the bathroom light on as a nightlight. I felt a little like I was camping; Falling asleep after a game of Scrabble I thought about our route out and hoped the snow would melt and we could make it to Red Lodge the next morning.

Today we saw Pronghorns, bison by the hundreds, coyote, and a big bull elk and his females.

September 6, 2019 - Osoyoos to Republic, Washington

     Leaving the Sun Beach Motel on the south side of highway 3 overlooking South Osoyoos Lake towards the US border, our trip took us east.  For some reason I have always been intrigued by Greenwood, BC, not just for the location for the filming of the movie "Snow Falling on Cedars" but the smallness and old western feeling that emanates as one drives through. There is a museum worth exploring but our stop was to check out property values as a future possible purchase. We saw 4 deer. Arriving in Grand Forks we found a lovely restaurant called the Borscht Bowl where I needed to rekindle my love of some Russian food - a large bowl of borscht. Topping up the fuel tank and getting some coffee additive we headed south on highway 21 crossing at the Danville border crossing following a lovely river through Curlew and Malo, Washington. The Danville border crossing had no Nexus lane but as it was we were the only vehicle there..It was a beautiful drive along the river past farms and small communities. We arrived in Republic and found lodging at the Klondike Motel.

September 7, 2019 - Republic to Spokane

     Leaving Republic, the county seat for Ferry County, Washington  we took highway 20 through Colville National Forest. We saw free-range cattle, wild turkeys, as well as streams/rivers while breathing in the clear pine scented air. It took about 3 hours including touring Division in Spokane before we found the Rodeway Inn where we plan to spend 2 nights. After settling in I contacted my relatives and we all met at the Golden Corral just a couple of blocks down the street. Having seen the ad on TV I was anxious to try it. Steak done to your liking and a buffet that would match any cruise ship. Delectable! but not on a weekend - too many people. What is a vacation for if you can not try restaurants that are not in BC.

September 8,2019 - stayed in Spokane

     Sunday was a day to see my niece and her son so we headed into the older part of the city where she lives with her significant other. They live in a remodeled old brick building. It is a loft but has 3 floors and is about as large as a house. They are not artists but she releases her stress from Social Work by painting and acting. The train runs by their veranda where she has an assortment of herbs and plants. We spent the afternoon and enjoyed her hospitality with wine, cheese and crackers. We then headed back to the Rodeway Inn. It was nice to get caught up with family.

September 9,2019 - Spokane to Missoula, Montana

     Left the Rodeway Inn at 10:45 and headed east on I-90. We stopped at Lookout Pass which is a ski area. What made this stop interesting was that it is one of three ski areas in the US where you can ski in two states at the same time. Lookout Pass sits right on the border between Idaho and Montana. After fueling up we settled in at the Travelers Inn which was not the best choice.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY AS YOU FOLLOW US AROUND THE WESTERN UNITED STATES.

September 5, 2019 - Vancouver to Osoyoos 

      We left home at 10:30 about 3 hours later than planned with a stop in Chilliwack for fuel and Tim Horton's breakfast. While driving through Manning Park we saw a year old black bear crossing the highway. I could tell that the bear was in good health by the fur quality: lots of thick, black, and shiny hair. Pretty cute as he/she crossed the highway. Heading east along Highway 3 we were stopped in a 2 kilometer long line of traffic due to construction. Our first night was spent at the Sun Beach Motel in Osoyoos where we looked over Lake Osoyoos
