Paul Good Family Western trip

 Drove up from Durango Colorado, through Silverton, to Ridgway State Park. I would recommend this drive up 550. Looking forward to coming home. It’s been a good trip but all the tents, lack of showers, And missing friends, Is making us ready to be home. Here are a few pictures from today.

 Salt Lake City Utah, It was very hot, like 104, We were planning to spend two nights there but decided to change it to one night 😀, The salt water had a brine shrimp which is a little small shrimp like animal,  They stank,…

 Yellowstone, Madison Campground, Yellowstone may have been our favorite place, All of the hot Springs, geysers, Cooler weather and wildlife made it pretty neat. It would be real interesting if you could go back in time and see all of the events that happened in that place…. Along the north road there is a petrified tree, they think it was a redwood, which is much larger than most of the other trees there now. I didn’t realize there were so many hot pools of water putting out steam for miles… It’s an amazing thing that God is put together there. 

 We spent these two nights at glacier campground. We all hiked a 1.5  miles (one way)of the Grenell trail and then me India and Winter hiked the Highland Trail down to the loop. That proved to be a little bit much but we made it😀 The mountains are beautiful. If you’re not too tired to enjoy them. Hope you can enjoy a few more pictures.

 Drove up from counsel to Bonners ferry, Some beautiful farmland about halfway up to Spokane, Lots of small grain growing on huge fields,  Bonners ferry is a beautiful combination of mountains and farmland. Norman’s were very hospitable to us and made us feel at home. That’s an amazing beans salad with pork chop sandwiches. The chops were freshly grilled to perfection. It was obvious something he had done before.😀 I’ve been noticing lots of shed builders all over the country. Normans took us around to wildlife refuge then later showed us kind of a neat Bridge. We’re currently on our way to glacier national Park I’m looking forward to being there. Till later Paul 

 Spent the night with Ivan’s and Jerrill’s. I forgot to take any photos…. Ivan’s took us up to a nice little spot between two creeks for a Delicious sub supper. Our girls spent the night with Jerrill’s.

All evening there was a mist rolling overhead about 3/4 the way up the trees. It was beautiful. They had some trails around the campsites that had huge redwoods and lots of green. Some of the trees had some plants growing on them that looked a little like Spanish moss.

 We traveled up the coast of Oregon Today We are spending the evening and night at Nehalem Bay state Park. Below are some pictures of our travel up here and the beach.  The air museum building was huge, it was a blimp hangar in World War II. Now they have it filled with airplanes that you can go in to see. We didn’t feel like spending the money on it😀. Paul 

 Samuel P Taylor State Park, It’s a nice park! It’s going to be here a lot cooler than the last several days!

I told the children that…next to me and she is the best driver, Yeah I might be a little arrogant…  She never had a wreck at all yet…. I’ll let you decide,😀

 A visitation Called up my brother, We met in the town of Modesto California for some lunch at El Cazador.
