• Trip Report (abridged)

    From George.Anthony@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 11 15:02:20 2023
    Don't feel like correcting a whole bunch of typos hence the abridged
    version. There was a lot more "stuff" than written here. Went from Texas through New Mexico, parts of Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Oregon
    (ugh) and to our first destination of Washington (also ugh). Had a very
    nice visit with relatives and then departed for parts east. Back across
    Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnisoda, and Iowa (number 50 for us),
    then home via Missouri, Oklahoma, Dallas (OMG! the traffic) and home in
    the Houston area.

    We made a quick stop at Shoshone falls in Idaho and also (for some
    strange reason) the Evel Knevel Snake River jump site. We visited
    Theodore Roosevelt NP in North Dakota. Stayed in Medora for a few days.
    Some nice vistas. From there, Voyagers NP in Minnesota. Not a lot to see
    there. Probably nicer in the fall... and before the -1000 deg F temps hit.

    Didn't do much to talk aobut in Iowa. In Missouri we toured the recently renovated Harry Truman Presidential library in Independence. He
    probably made, in my opinion, one of, if not the hardest decisions ever
    made by a US president. He did show his democrat bona fides with some of
    his other decisions though. Overall, a decent and humble man -
    especially for a politician and a democrat.

    From there it was just passing through other places on the way home. As
    an aside, which will surprise no one here, fuel prices in the democrat
    states are through the roof and the farther south we got the less
    expensive they were. I mentioned in a previous post about road
    conditions in democrat states but, unfortunately, they aren't much
    better in the red states we went through. I have no idea where the fuel
    tax money is going but it's certainly not being spent on road maintenance.

    Anyway, nice trip with no RV issues. Happy Camping.

    Sounds like bragging, and so dry and boring.
