What a trip! Ron & I left early on September 3rd with up to three weeks to spend with my brother Bob and sister-in-law Barbara – a plan to see old home places, relatives and friends, take a trip to Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone Park and attend my 50th Class Reunion. This has given me material for at least three blogs – so here is the first installment. I will write more as I get the pictures edited.
Our first stop was in the beautiful george - at Multnomah Falls!
We had our little Mazda packed so tight we had to roll down windows to push everything in. We car camped on the way to Idaho with our first stop a few miles East of La Grande Oregon where we had camped many years ago. We were pleased to find the spot was just as beautiful and secluded as it was 20 years ago. There were hundreds of Canada Geese coming in for the night and we were able to watch the pair of Osprey fish the lake and show off at sunrise high in the sky. It was a wonderful resting place!
As we continued on our journey we found lots of road construction and the speed limited fluctuated between 75 and 45 for a long way. I was tense with the narrow lanes and big trucks and so by the time we reached an RV park by Burley Idaho - I was ready to stop!
Sunday September 5th we had a short trip on to Idaho Falls. We stopped at Masacure Rock just before Pocatello Idaho to look for the White Pelecans we usually see there on the Snake River.
A couple of hours and we were at Bob & Barbara's home in Idaho Falls! That was a great reunion!
Kam was busy repainting all the critters that grace the "Funny Farm" with enough to amuse one for weeks!
Bob thought Ron & I should take a spin around the mile on his antique bicycle built for two!
Barbara, Oreo, Ron & Betty enjoying the beautiful place and a good visit. We had two days to rest up and catch up before our trip to Yellowstone Park. Check in soon for the next installment. Love to all!

Sounds like you're having the best of times! The pictures are absolutely wonderful. Look forward to reading more about your trip. Love you! Maria + kids
My brother and sister-in-law are collectors of EVERYTHING! Rock Hounds for years they have tons of beautiful rocks, over 300 plates on the walls of her home inside - outside they have built wishing well, sun dial, water fall, out of rocks. They have two totem poles, a windmill, and then lots of strange creatures like lawn art you will see in future blog. I got along great with my old bro!! How about that for growing up??
