Our stopover in the Idaho mountains was pretty nice. There were a lot of jagged peaks everywhere although due to smoke from Canadian fires most of them were lost in the haze.
Arnica was just about finished blooming.
I am always happy to get a pic of a shroom.
There were quite a few of these flowers near a stream. I had never seen them before so had to look up the name. It’s called Fringed Grass of Parnassus according to Wikipedia.
Nothing like a cold brewski on a hot day.
We moved to Provo, Utah just in time to catch a bit of Autumn leafage.
Dean is a good trail blazer. Also snake and dog blocker.
Butterflies and bees were dining on thistle flowers.
I should have worn my orange and red outfit!!!
This Morman Cricket was enormous. With the black armor it has a very alien look.
Sunflowers are still blooming. Heading slowly south towards Tucson for the winter.
THE BUS STOPS HERE 
We love your travel-log and pictures of your adventures.
The Sunflower picture you sent reminded us of our trip to Spain last year:
Take care,
Duke and Rhonda
We have such great memories of our time in Spain with you guys back in the 70’s. Where did you go last year?
We were in Spain for almost a month last May.
Our travels included:
o Avila
o Segovia
We hope this is not our last extended trip to Spain.
What a wonderful trip. It looks like you hit all the top spots.
What great pictures. Jon and I always love hearing from you. So wonderful to see your smiling faces. Be safe in your travels. Love you guys, Jon and Calleen
Hope you guys had a good summer. Do you have any exotic cruises planned for the winter?
No cruises, we are thinking of going to Scotland and Ireland in June. Just hanging around home.
Better start practicing your Gaelic.
lovely to see your travels as usual, that was one big ass beetle. I’m sure it was friendly, but😳
Dean is always stopping to check out the creepiest crawlies on the hiking trails!
Are you two going back to Indio for the winter? I am heading to Bali this week for a couple of weeks unless I chose to stay longer 🧐I may head to visit friends in Palm Desert so maybe our paths may cross. That would be nice 😊

Bali sounds so lovely and exotic. Have a great time enjoying the beauty. We are heading to Tucson for the winter. It would have been smashing to see you.
I’ll try again, this site is not easy to navigate. I almost finished twice and it disappeared! You both look good and healthy, the fresh air and exercise are part of it, but the genes are good on both sides. I hope you can make it to this part of the country this year. Keep the pictures coming! M&M
Sorry about the site issues. I am getting comments on the site. Thanks for trying and it worked this time.
