Mike,
......It's been 4 years since we were in South Dakota and hope to go back in a year or two.
It has been longer than 4 years since I have been to Oregon. I think the last time was a couple of years after the Mt. St. Helens park was set up as I remember driving through it and taking slides of it for use in my earth science class that I taught. Hopefully when this pandemic thing is over with or contained I will start taking trips west again. Utah is one of my favorites because of the numerous national and state parks. Kodachrome Basin in one of my favorites. One night it was getting late and we had not found a campground, so we drove into Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in Utah because they had one or two sites not taken. My wife and I thought we are never going to get any sleep here because every site had dune buggies that they raced around the sand dunes with. But when 10 o'clock quiet hours went into effect you could have heard a pin drop because all the dune buggies were put to bed for the night. Very nice experience.
This Sunday we go on the next step in our quest to visit all the state recreation areas in our home state of South Dakota and camp in every one. We crossed two in the north western part of the state off our list last weekend (as you can see in my previous post) and this weekend will get two more in the southern part of the state.
We usually take in the Black Hills Corvette Classic rally in Spearfish, SD this time of the year but this year for the first time in 49 years it has been cancelled due to Covid-19, so I guess we will do more camping. Hopefully they will plan for a really big rally next year which will be the 50th.
Mike, looking forward to hearing and seeing the pictures of your next adventures. We are going to a State Park camping for the 4th but don't usually go on holidays but we are going to get the dog away from the fireworks as it really upsets her even with meds from her vet.
We do most all our camping in the spring ,fall and winter time do to no mosquitoes and no crowds. Not all State, USFS. and BlM CGs are open here in Oregon ( do to Covid-19 ) so all the CGs that are open are all full.
We also like Utah and been to their SP. and NP.and will go back when we can.
Did you see my pictures that I posted at Looking for new boondocking / dispersed sites ?
