May 22 to May 27, 2010




Hello, everyone. Sorry for the delay, but we have been in Canada with no phone and little internet. Many of the places we have been don't even have stop lights in the towns or electricity in the campgrounds, but it has been a beautiful trip.

We stopped by Zion National Park to see our good friends Dotty and Frenchy. They say hello to everyone. They are doing well, and almost have the park under their control. On the way there, we traveled scenic Rt 14, across a 10,000 ft pass, into snow and past frozen mountain lakes. (Photo)

From Zion, we headed up to Salt Lake City/Ogden and met up with Beth and Josh, Mary's kids. It began raining south of Salt Lake, turned to snow for the next two days, and then rain again. We had a nice breakfast and met their friend Molly and dog Boomer. On the way west, we stopped at the Golden Spike Historic Site in Promentory, Utah. (Photo) Continuing west toward Seattle, WA.

From Zion, we crossed Idaho and Oregon. Beautiful land, but not much there. In Oregon, we stopped at a historic village and saw the Oregon Trail National Monument.

On the 26th, we passed through Mt. Rainier National Park. Lots of snow - over 12 feet of it next to the roadways. Everything was still closed, and we saw a cute little baby bear next to the road. (Photo of snow)
Bonjour a tout le monde. Nous voila au Canada, a Whitehorse, une ville de 25.000 habitants, la capitale du Yukon. Nous nous rapprochons lentement de l'Alaska. Les paysages que nous traversons sont splendides mais sauvages. Absence de telephone et surtout d'acces a l'internet.
