Boise to Grand Tetons National Park - Aug 22 & 23

We make our way across Idaho stopping at Buffalo Meadows RV park at the Fort Hall Casino.

Then into Gros Ventre Campground in Grand Teton National Park where we plan to stay for about a week.

Lakeview, OR to Boise, ID - Aug 17 to 21

We begin our trek east out of Oregon.

Our First scheduled stop is a campground in Burns, OR.
But we have a very interesting experience just as we are pulling into town when our trailer tire pressure monitor alarms.  Turns out that one of our trailer tires is in the process of self destructing but has not actually lost pressure yet.  This is about one mile from our planned fuel stop and just at the end of about 100 miles of really Outback Oregon with no services and no cell phone service.
Result - Four new tires at Les Schwab Tires but no actual breakdown, towing, etc.  We feel very fortunate.

But later that evening the tire pressure alarm goes off again and one of the brand new tires is losing pressure.  The next morning, Les Schwab comes to the campground to fill it up and we head back to the shop.  Turns out it is a leaking valve stem and about 20 minutes later we are back on the road.  I am now a firm believer in tire pressure monitors for trailers.

The goal at this point is to spend four nights in the Boise, ID area to do some laundry and pay a visit to Costco & Trader Joe's.  Whoo Hoo!

We also make a one day run to McCall, ID where we visit with Carl & Mary Nielsen and have a wonderful lunch at the Anchor Restaurant overlooking Lake Payette.  It was a whole lot of driving but what a great day.

Lakeview, OR - Aug 14 to 17

We continue on down through Oregon to the area where Mary's granddaughter Summer Spitzbergen lives on a cattle ranch near Bly, Oregon.  We start out at an RV park at Lakeview, OR.

John Day Fossil Beds, OR - Aug 10 to 13

After a really nice week in La Grande we make our way a little further to the southwest to an area known as John Day - home to the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

We get an RV campsite at the Clyde Holliday State Park and State Recreation Site at Mt Vernon, OR.

La Grande, OR - Aug 03 to 09

We dip a little further south and east and settle in for a full week at the La Grande Rendezvous RV Resort in La Grande, OR near the Eagle Cap Wilderness.

Pendleton, OR - Jul 31 to Aug 2

We made our way down along the Majestic Columbia River to Pendleton, OR to spend a few days with our friends Rich and Peggy Rouse from McMinnville, OR.

Not really into casinos but sometimes they do have really nice RV Parks and the Wildhorse Resort turns out to be a good example.
