Good Morning!
after some hickups with wifi - i am looking forward to blogging our trip to southern Utah!
This trip Carol and I decided to spend some time in one area - so we are in Hurricane, Utah for the entire month of October.  This is a boom town between St. George and Zion National Park in a beautiful part of the state. Even though we have visited this area many times we wanted to park Obi-Wander (our 23' trailer) and just do day trips and a couple of overnighters in southern Utah.
   
     In addition we are enjoying visitors from home -  our friends Phil and Yvonne just spent several days with us and now our friends Max and Arlene have driven down and we are exploring the area together for a few days.  The last week of the month my sister Terri and her husband Joe are flying into Vegas and we will do some overnighters to the Grand Canyon North Rim and the Grand Staircase-Escalante N.M.  It is going to be a fun month!

    So backing up - we took a week to come down to Hurricane - including stops outside of Portland and Baker City Oregon, Twin Falls, Idaho, and Ogden, Utah - where we visited Carol's cousins who live in that area.



We had a great campsite in Barton County Park in Clackamas area of Oregon with an added bonus of being a mile away from the Bent Shovel Nano-Brewery!











We really wanted to spend some time in the Twin Falls Idaho area and visited Thousand Springs State Park, Shoshone Falls, had a round of golf next door to our campsite at Three Islands Crossing S.P. and finally reached a State of Bliss (turns out its actually a town).

Here's a sample of some of the things of what we've been up to since we have arrived in Hurricane:
