Ski, I usually wait to comment until the end but Kathy and I got a good chuckle out of this installment.

Looks like maybe you made a stop at Weir Creek Hot Springs?! That was always a favorite after a day kayaking on the Lochsa. Thanks for the continued report, looking forward to the next installment.

Seems as though you stopped at a pair of the better-known hot springs along the way, and you did so without encountering the crowds so often associated with either of the two. Kudos!
Thanks for the opportunity to follow along. We're Jonesin' for a trip to Montana something terrible!

Wow really enjoyed the trip. We are hopefully going to follow in step when the significant other retires... maybe soon... I love the fishing shots being a trout nut. Hot springs would help these old bones too.

We do our best to take a long summer trip each year. This year we left on July 31st and returned on August 31st. We logged in around 3400 miles and averaged - old fashion math - 17.1 mpg. More than previous summer adventures, this trip included a bit more visits with family and friends. Where did we go? Let's see - Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California. We hiked, fly fished, and worked.
We encountered the usual wide array of characters from the "Texagonians" to the large woman camp host who stopped us as we entered her campground.
"Do you have a spot for us?" the Lady asked.
"Lots of sites," the host answered and continued, "The nicest spots are up on the hill but there's a group up there saving sites for friends that might show up. But they haven't paid for them. They are not saved until they're paid for. If you want one of those sites just take it. I'll back you up on it!"
We decided not to mention we were there for a good night's sleep and not to take part in campground wars. We quietly grabbed a non contested site away from others.
We had many incredible wildlife encounters. Our favorite was the large bull moose walking past the Napa Auto Parts Store. We decided to follow him.
Enough jabbering on. Let's get started with part one -
Steens Mountain, Oregon - August 2019
and part two -
Idaho & Montana! - August 2019
