Fall Wine 2209 – Part Three

Posted on 2022-09-282022-10-04 by Elle L

Day Nine Breaking down camp takes longer when things are muddy, but we were still out of there by 10:45am. The first part of the drive was boring, but then it got pretty. We planned a six hour day: drive for 2 hours, stop at a national park for 2 hours, and drive for 2…

Day Five Palisade CO to Hanksville UT Our drive was mostly boring and windy, but there were a few spots worth grabbing off the dash cam. At least the drive was short, we drove from 11am-3pm and took a nice lunch break, too. The wind really takes it out of me, especially when driving a…

Fall Wine 2209 – friends, wine, parks, & springs – Part One

Posted on 2022-09-202022-09-24 by Elle L

Our “fall wine” trip is kicked off by the big wine festival in Palisade…a festival we aren’t going to. We are going with the same Meetup that went to Palisade in June, so we plan to have just as much fun (…or more since the bigot and his wife aren’t going. My only disappointment is…

Day Twenty Six Rangely CO to Steamboat Springs CO The bad: Some muther-effin’ graffiti on some of the landscape was one of the first things we saw when we pulled out of town. At least someone made it funny (and more truthful). Now, a scout group or something needs to come remove it altogether. More…

Day Twenty Four Moab UT to Rangely CO This travel day was short, but it was a lot. First fun thing was that we saw a motorhome named Millennial Falcon. We hit another wave of unsafe AF drivers, too. As if we can go faster than the truckers in front of us. The very bare…

Day Twenty-One One more note about Vernal. They have a great garden program/committee/club/something. There are planters and baskets lining all the main streets with huge plumages of flowers. And they smell so good. It’s the little things. Everyone has Dash Cams these days… Asshole drivers, man. Most of Utah has been–true to stereotype–nice people. Today,…

Day Sixteen We found a place to drop off most of our recycling, which isn’t always easy to do on the road. National Parks tend to have it for aluminum and “tin” cans and plastic bottles of things like water and soda. Most can’t take bigger items like laundry bottles or other plastics like salad…

Day Twelve After breakfast, we gathered our adventure stuff and headed to Blue Heart Kayaking. In a tandem kayak, we did 5miles of the Snake River including the Blue Heart Spring and a circle around Ritter Island (which is a state park). We were already booked, so the staffer didn’t need to sell us on…

Day Eight Craters of the Moon Every other vehicle we saw on the road was an RV setup. It was nuts. We are out in the middle of nowhere. Craters of the Moon is a unique place. Did you know that Idaho has a “smile” running through it? Most of Idaho is mountainous, but from…

Day Four Grand Tetons National Park We took the scenic road south through the majority of the Tetons. We took our time and made sure to take all the little side roads so we could see as much as possible from the Jeep and via short walks. It was a beautiful day with no smoke…

Liberals only. This personal blog is only for people smart enough to vote liberal. If you vote/think/feel conservative/libertarian, then you are not welcome here. This site has no room for the hate spewed by those groups and anyone who supports them. (Go read a book instead; it's clear that you rarely do. Better yet, go volunteer secularly with a truly impoverished community; learn some humanity.)
