Oregon, Nevada, Utah Aug 24-26 2009
Talk about big trees in Oregon take a look at those logs! In Eastern Oregon we stayed at Junipers Reservoir RV Resort, our first night out, that we just happened upon as we drove. It turned out to be very quiet, off the road a couple of miles with its own little lake. Beautiful sunflowers and a nice bathroom and club house. Punkin head had a great time there!

Gravel for the parking areas but a beautiful large lawn in the middle. Another barn to show you we are in farming country. Hey we even ran into a cattle drive right down the highway. We were going up hill so were traveling pretty slow anyway. They were strung out for several miles. Evan had real live cowboys hearding them.

Eventually we get into Nevada and visit a friend in Battle Mountain. Here is the sign, Billy and the 5th wheel parked quite a ways away.
That is copper in that stone and some mining equipment. We walked across the road to have lunch before leaving town, at the Owl Club, and we didn't even stay to gamble.

Nevada stretches for miles with not much to look at. I read Barb Rees's book "RV Canada With Boo the Menopausal Van" out loud to Billy so he could enjoy it too. What a nice book, you feel like you are on the trip with them! We had traveled across Canada once before so have been to some of the places she mentions. She also wrote "RV Canada On A Dime And A Dream" a few years before. If you have been reading our blog you will remember we met her and her husband in British Columbia at Williams Lake at the visitors center and again on the way to Stewart BC and Hyder AK. We get her blog and stay up with their travels and she reads mine to keep up with us, I hope. We do emails once in a while anyway as well. They are from Powell River BC. Anyway I got off track there for a minute. We get into Utah and go through Cedar City and through the mountains to Kanab. We had been through there before only it was dark so we certainly enjoyed seeing the sights this time. It was so beautiful the different colors of rock and the different formations and types of rock cliffs too. My camera ran out of battery power about midways through so I didn't get pictures of all of it. So I will share a little of what I do have. If you ever get the opportunity to go that route take it as it is very scenic. We stayed in Kanab for the night and said we want to come back and spend a week there sometime. It is close to Zion Nat'l Park and Brice Canyon as well.

More of our trip in the next blog as I'm way late getting to bed as it is!!!
