Winter and RV Life in the Silver Valley – WHAT winter? Ok, ok, it HAS been a weird winter. RAIN at Jackson Hole (Wyoming) during Christmas at 6000 ft. (and higher.) Temperatures WAY above normal on many days. Recently, in mid-January, Billings Montana reached 66 with widespread 50’s and 60’s across SKI country in the …
While I was visiting St. Regis, Montana, one of the more spectacular explorations was to Hot Springs, Montana. Hot Springs itself is a town that looks like a “throw-back” to the 1950’s. The Symes Hotel and Hot Springs is a landmark that began operations in 1930. The town itself it quite compact. It has a …
RV Campgrounds have raised their rates to the financial breaking point for many RV travelers I’ve been an RV traveler, “on the road” since 2011. When I started, you could pull into many (most?) campgrounds, drop $20 or $30 for the night and receive full hookups and a safe place to stay. Weekly rates were …

Anthony Lake on October 30 – deserted & snowy?! Dateline: October 30 – a damp, but promising early morning in La Grande, Oregon with a planned (short) hike around Anthony Lake (about 35 miles away.) Temperatures in La Grande were reasonably mild (mid 40’s) with the promise of some sun during the day. As autumn …
Boulder Creek Lodge – Hall, Montana Boulder Creek Lodge is run by a wonderful couple with an amazing story. For those who visit, I’ll let Patrick tell you his story. I was last here in 2015, that time without my (old) camper as it was in rehab in Helena (landing gear issues). I stayed one …
RV’ing in Washington from East to West – in September As I approach my 7th year “on the road”, after leaving my summer RV sales gig early this year (on Aug. 4th), I decided to expand my horizons and push farther westward than I had in my previous journeys. I decided it was time to …
The Town of Dubois Wyoming – Gateway to Yellowstone & Teton National Parks and the town of Jackson… A small town (about 1000 folks) situated about 70 miles east of Jackson and Yellowstone, but without the congestion of Jackson (or the expense.) Since West Yellowstone (also expensive – rv sites in excess of $70/night) is …
On The Road Again – and a brief taste of Autumn Strong thunderstorms followed by a windy night that felt colder than it was. It was an autumnal wind. The first I’ve felt in months, and my first night “on the road” after leaving my RV consulting job at the now failing RV dealership in …
I’m sharing this a couple of weeks AFTER I broke my winter rv camp on Feb 22 in McCall. To offer contrast, as I write this, it is 68F, I’m sitting at a cafe overlooking a canyon in shorts and slippers. Not at all a recognizable scene to the one I faced on Feb 22 …
