2015 Vacation Schedule

We left home on July 5 and our first stop was Ten X campground, just 5 miles south of the Grand Canyon.  We enjoyed a thunder and lightning show on the way here and also drove through a few sets of rain, something we don't see much of near our home.  It hit 80 degrees today and very comfortable.  This is a great campground and I won't rate it again, but we did come across 3 elk grazing and resting in our campground just 60 feet from the road.  We will stay here 3 nights and then off to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado.  Our next stop will be a state park near Colorado Springs where we will spend 6 nights to visit Joanie, John, and Bob, Aggie's family.  That is as far east we are travelling this trip and we will head northwest from here.  Our next destination will be Riffle Gap in northwestern Colorado.  We then head to a campground near Provo, Utah for two nights, and on to Mountain Home, Idaho for 3 nights.  Our next stop will be in Bend, Ore., to visit our good friends Chris & Gary for 3 nights.  July 25 we will arrive in Portland, Ore., to visit our son Matt & our grandaughter Danika.  After 8 or 9 nights we will cruise over to the Pacific Ocean in Seaside, Oregon for 3 nights.  We then will head south down the 5 freeway to Canyonville, Ore., and stay 2 nights a casino called 7 feathers.  We will have one unscheduled stop before we arrive at Lake Tahoe, Ca. where we plan to stay one full week.  We will make one stop in Lone Pine, Ca. before we head back home again.
