I'll get you on the list Galway when we get home mid July. Thanks

Look here to see what others are using.

We are staying at KOA. I have relatives there and they have three days planned for us. Then we move west to Port Orchard, WA.

We sure had some wind getting here from Curt Gowdy State Park. So far BB has been placid. We leave here in the morning heading to Kalispell, MT

Just saw an E II headed west out of Cody WY on Hwy 14. We were walking along the Buffalo Bill State Park campground road. I thought they might be staying here but I guess they kept going.

That is a good idea. I think that is what I would do if I went up there.

I hope you have a great trip. I would love to travel without scheduling everything to a gnat's ass. Wave if you see us. We leave Sunday for six weeks

We leave Sunday. We are very excited, and I am a little nervous.

Nice looking grill. Keep us posted as you put it to good use.

It was the best choice for us. I hope you come to the same conclusion. You forget about the high price in a decade or so... 😉 Here's wishing many miles of smooth rode for you.

Welcome to the family

I was there a few years ago on my bike and stayed at the lodge. We have not camped there. View from the lodge

To any and all. Feel free to announce a stay if you want a visit to your campsite. We will be at Mount Magazine State Park Campsite 14 arriving tomorrow April 21, departing Friday April 25 2025. This is our first outing this year. Stop by and say hi.

I will look at that as my "wing it" stop. We leave Kalispell on the 14th, and drive until we stop that night, somewhere (maybe Beauty Creek Campground). Then resume our drive on the 15th to Port Orchard, WA. I was planning on breaking that up with an unscheduled/unreserved stop. I plan to break the 600 mile trip into two parts not knowing how fast those roads are. Thanks so much for proofing my plan. This is a big first for us.

We planning our trip out west and would appreciate any tips, suggestion or observation that you might have. We plan to leave June 1.

That is one of the most inspiring posts yet. Thanks

Let me know if you pass my way and you are welcome to stay as long as you want... We have all kinds of room, power and water, and there is a dump station about 5 miles away.

KOA is high dollar. We have never stayed at one. We may someday if it is the only real option.

Better to go with the rough and scruff than not go at all. Life is all about the pushing through the scuffs. I need a dog. Can someone talk to my wife?
