Hi everyone!\u00a0 We have been moving east, slowly, with plans to be back in Columbus before Thanksgiving.\u00a0 My last post was about our time on the Oregon coast.\u00a0 From there we moved inland Oregon, to the Columbia River Gorge area.\u00a0 Unfortunately, we couldn’t access any of the hikes or scenic drive along the Columbia River Gorge, the roads were all still closed from fires this summer.\u00a0 The highway, interstate 84, was back open, but the historic Columbia River Gorge road and all the state parks and hiking areas were still closed.\u00a0 So we found a couple of hikes in other areas nearby, and crossed the Bridge of the Gods across the Columbia River over to the Washington side.\u00a0 We did this in the truck, leaving the RV at the campground – Steve has a hard time with bridges and heights, and there is NO WAY he would have considered crossing this bridge with the RV in tow!\u00a0 We hiked to a beautiful waterfall, hidden way back into the forest, I have a picture of it below.<\/p>\n

We then moved on to Mountain Home, Idaho, then to Brigham City, Utah, then to Rawling, Wyoming, then to Cheyenne Wyoming.\u00a0 We spent 2 – 3 days in each stop, and got in a hike just about everywhere.\u00a0 We visited some sand dunes at a state park in Idaho – Gerry loved running up and down the dunes.\u00a0 You can see our terrain is changing quickly!\u00a0 From the lush, green forests and waterfalls of Washington and Oregon to very desert like terrain.<\/p>\n

There’s not a lot to report about these stops, they were pretty functional.\u00a0 We took interstate 84 to interstate 80, which took us through the not-so-pretty parts of Idaho and Utah and Wyoming.\u00a0 We plan to visit these states again at some point, and go to the more attractive areas and national parks.\u00a0 But, for this trip, we were ready to spend some time on interstates and wanted to get moving east, so this route worked for that purpose.\u00a0 But, we still got out and hiked and tried to explore the areas we were in and enjoyed the good weather we have had.<\/p>\n

I’m writing this post while in Ft. Collins, Colorado.\u00a0 We have some repairs to the RV that are underway, I will have a separate post about all of that our our time at the Hilton Hotel (yes, they allow dogs and Gerry is not sure he likes hotel living!)<\/p>\n

In the meantime, hope you all are enjoying fall and Go Bucks this weekend against Penn State!<\/p>\n
