Firefighters Campground, Flaming Gorge Recreation Area, UT

Where is Firefighters Campground?

I arrived here 3 days ago, with intention to stay only 1 night. But I came down with a cold on the way, and was looking through watery eyes, not a good thing. The cold turned out to be a real pain in the arse, settling into my head and lungs simultaneously. I grabbed some Contact and resigned to do nothing until it passed.

After 3 days of telling dog how awful I felt, I finally moved on. Dog was very sympathetic. My destination is Moab, UT a place I have often heard of, but never visited. I anticipate only one more stop between Moab and home: somewhere in the Hannigan Meadows area of AZ.

The Flaming Gorge area is really a beautiful area, with a large lake that local boaters and fishermen love, judging from the activity.

Yellowstone/Grand Tetons, WY

Where is Generic Campground near Yellowstone/Grand Tetons, WY?

I Made a rather quick, direct drive through Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks. I have been there before. Also, the crowds were unbelievable. There was some animal near the road and dozens of cars stopped on both sides of the road, completely haphazard. I arrived upon this roadblock in Barth. I started muscling my way through the mess, with inches to spare. Finally started directing approaching traffic with hand signals through the windshield. “You, stop.” “You, proceed past me.” I inch forward one car length, which clears a car in the rear, allows one car to pass, then do it all over again. I just wanted to shut it down and curl up on the bed!

No photos. Having been there, I was not awed. Also, I picked up a cold somewhere, and felt like crap, still do. Also, the Tetons were enshrouded by smoke based haze.

Drove too long again, finally about dark found a campground that was full, but agreed to allow me to park in their picnic area for one night if I leave early. So I did.

Many Pines Campground, Lewis & Clark National Park

Where is Many Pines Campground?

This is one of several campgrounds along the Bent Creek on Highway 89. I am headed to/through Yellowstone tomorrow, unless I get slowed by some other location. I at least must find a dump station!

I went to the local “store” in Neihart to buy some basic staples. There I met a fellow from Phoenix, AZ, that is planning to move here, currently fixing up a house, but spends summers here now.

Something in this area is driving my sinuses crazy, along with severe headache. Beautiful area, but so far unfriendly, medically speaking!
