October 25-26, 2026 Wilder, Idaho to Burns, Oregon

 High of 62 and mostly sunny.

The sun is not coming up till 815 am here! Woke up to fog over the river at Banbury hot springs. I hung out and watched it burn off.

Fog burning off. 

Fall color in our campsite.  We were seeing the price of diesel as high as $6.94. Were lucky to find $6.39 and filled up. The pump stops at $150, so had to run the card twice to fill up.  Grass and willows along the Snake River. There was a covet of quail in the campground. They are so fun to watch scurrying around. 

I finished this masterpiece. It is made from dyed pine needles, polyester thread and glass beads. The center is selenite I sandblasted and painted a raven on. It is 8 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. We are camped at Rivers Edge RV park in Wilder, Idaho along the Snake River.  Very scenic and quiet.

Full Hunter moon, behind clouds. Morning light on the Snake river at River's Edge. No fog today. 

In Wilder, Idaho the sunrise was at 8:15 am!! We passed into the Pacific time zone entering Oregon, so it will be earlier now. We are now at Crane Hot springs. There was this weird partial rainbow above the sun between rainstorms.

October 21-24, 2026 Fort Bridger, Wyoming to Snowville, Utah to Buhl, Idaho

High of 67 and low of 37 this morning.

Sunrise at Saratoga Lake. We got diesel in Rawlins. $1 a mile, thanks war in Iran.

We camped at Fort Bridger RV park. Lovely quiet place. Only one other spot filled. They are closing Nov 1. Jim Bridger, mountain man.

The aspens are turning around town.

One of two groups of deer in the campground. Gibbous moon.

Sunset. 

Welcome to Utah. We fueled up at the Maverick at $6.19 a gallon. We are parked at the Hitching post in Snowville, Utah. 

Latest masterpiece.  It is made from dyed pine needles, polyester thread, glass, quartz and metal beads and the center is a piece of dichroic glass I fused. It is 6 x 3 inches.  We had heavy rain overnight. Welcome to Idaho in the rain.

We are camped at Banbury hot springs for two nights. The hot spring pool was heavenly.

Me floating around in the hot spring pool. The lifeguard would be pretty worthless, his head is on backwards and he is not watching the pool, plus I am pretty sure he can't swim. 

The outlet from the hot spring pool. The campground is on the Snake river. They rent kayaks and have this cool dock to make it easier to get out of your boat. 

Lots of kayaks and these two part kayaks, I am hoping they fit together. Would have been a little more inviting if it were warmer than mid 40's. The Snake river from the property.

John and I walked around FoCo fall fest in downtown.  John and I at the photo booth at the fest.

The Poudre river.  My garden has gone nuts. I have been harvesting. I had 6 big basil plants and 4 big tomato plants.The netted plant is one of the basil. 

Huge pile of harvested basil leaves, a small part of our tomato harvest this year, 4 kinds of oregano and rosemary. John cooked up some squash that volunteered in the front yard. I made 24 packed cups of basil into pesto. Yum Yum.

The bus is parked in front of the house, we are loading up. The waterpark with fall colors on my bike ride.

Jewels I beveled and polished for wire wrapping. We are on the road again! The bus at Saratoga Lake outside of Saratoga, Wyo.

Saratoga free hot springs. Very nice. We had dinner at the Snowy Range Brewery.
