Enroute to Bella Coola, we'd planned only to stop overnight at the Vagabond Resort and RV Park in Nimpo Lake, but it turned out to be the best part of our vacation. Pulling into our campsite right on the lake, I knew I was home. I've always defined my perfect spot or 'home' as a super-quiet spot on a northern lake with a Beaver at the dock and loons calling out all around. Granted, my … [Read more...]
Wildfires and Our Chilcotin RV Trip
I've long wanted to visit the Chilcotin Coast in British Columbia's 'mid-west'.

What a Wonderful World!
From Rock Springs, Wyoming we had planned to head up to the Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks, but a weather forecast for 4 days and nights of snow forced us to reconsider those destinations. Consulting the map, we saw that Salt Lake City was a mere 3 hour drive west, so off we went to Utah. What a wonderful diversion that proved to be.
