George and Sandy,

There is a park in Perrin Texas called Mitchell RV. They have a monthly calendar of events that is pretty unique. They host Bluegrass Festivals regularly and have a kite festival that is just wonderful in the Spring. Perrin is out in the middle of no where and that is the only downside to that park. Walmart and other shopping is about 19 miles away in Mineral Wells. The owners Kevin and Doris keep the park in wonderful shape. It has a 9 hole golf course and a well stocked lake for fishing.

I know we will be going to the kite festival in 2009.

Hey George, Gummy here, if you post the direction that you intend to go, you might get a lot more good ideas. Since I'm here at Crater Lake National Park I'll say it's a must see, just look at my last post. We are at Diamond Lake Rv Park and it's very nice. See on the road soon. Gummy

Yosemite Valley at night under a full moon.

Very spiritual experience that we stumbled upon by accident.

My wife wasn't feeling well, upset stomach. We find that if she gets cold the upset stomach will go away. So at 3AM we get out of the trailer to get her into the cold air and can't believe what we are seeing.

The valley was beautiful. All the granite outcroppings were lit up along with all of the waterfalls and the river by the moonlight. It was if God was saying, "Look what I have created just for you".

We jumped in the truck and drove around the valley for two hours looking at all the sights. It seemed as if we were the only people in the park, everyone else was sleeping.

In addition, we got to see the animal night life as well, coyotes, raccoons, bear and others.

Low ground fog over the meadows gently blowing in the breeze and glowing from the moonlight.

Half Dome was unbelievable in full moon light.

My only regret is that I didn't have a camera to capture it all.

Guess we'll have to go back when the moon is full to capture it on film.

Picking rasberries on the Tolby Canyon trail above Cimarron Canyon in New Mexico is great fun in a beautiful place.  We will definitely repeat the experience expecially because of the oft visiting bears.  Not to be missed if you are a hiker and love gorgeous trails along a creek.

Kayaking the Chama into the north end of Vado Lake in New Mexico is also a great adventure in the midst of beauty.  Watching the Osprey fish in the headwaters as we paddled through the canyon was not to be missed and definitely worth repeating.  Actually we did repeat the experience before we left in August.

Railroad sightseeing on the Cumbres and Toltec Narrow Gauge Railroad in Chama (our first ride) or the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (many times) are also not to be missed and worth repeating.

So many things to do and so little time to do it.

New Mexico is called the "Land of Enchantment" so you need to see lots here. Chaco Canyon, the Native American Pueblos, Santa Fe, and just to much to mention.

Well Dude one day we are going to find your Popcicle body frozen to that mountain side. I will have to set fire to Colorado to get you back down the trails.

How about the Colorado Rockies in the dead of winter? Spectacular snow, majestic skiing, challenging hiking, and a balmy minus 20 degrees with a daily 6 inch "dusting." What can be better than that? I'm certainly doing it again this year!!!

Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, A-Basin, Beaver Creek all at my doorstep.

(Can't wait to read what the peanut gallery has to say on this one!)
