Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Any hike that includes a bit of forest and / or stream is worth it. Specially if you also get views like that. I am amazed at the amount of mushrooms you got to see there. You seem to know a lot more about them than me. I would never pick a muchroom cause I don't know enough to know when they are safe and when not. (Does that answer your question from the other day?)

I wish I knew more about mushrooms, I see many different ones around here but I am too scared to eat them as I just do not know what is, and what is not edible.

Stunning photos as always. Hope you get the kitchen sorted out! Diane

Mmm, just beautiful! A good meal, a beautiful walk, little treasures along the way! Sounds like a perfect day.

It is very handy to have them growing under the RV Gaelyn. :) Love the painting.

Every time I walk with you it feels like I'm in Heaven... No two steps have ever been the same...

Catching up with you, Gaelyn, and I see you and Mike are doing what I'm doing - trying to seize as much of summer as possible! Love your photos in this post. We have many mushrooms growing in the forest right now - some are like the ones you pictured. I am not eating them, though...

Photo of Bryce was taken on August 13. It was hot and sunny that day. I took some wonderful photos on that hike, and plan to post some later...
The one day we were at the North
Rim we wanted to hike the Widforss Trail, but it was closed due to fire, I believe. We hike the trail to Cape Final. Why, oh why, did I leave my camera in the car??? The wildflowers were gorgeous and we saw a snake. (not to mention the Canyon itself!)

Your canyon photos are lovely! I took a wild edibles class long ago, and I learned enough about mushrooms just not to eat them. It would be great to have a knowledgeable person identify edibles. Somewhere on this trip (I think it was to Cape Final), we saw mushrooms that were smooth and a bright yellow--like half domes. At first I thought someone had thrown plastic on the ground.
PS: I'm home now --for a week.

I loved my two hikes on the Widforss Trail over the years. Made it to trail's end one year not too far back. The pictures are beautiful, and the flowers made me wish I was there!

It is nice to be able to set things down and go away for a nice hike. Of course you have to face the problem sooner or later but you will be in a better frame of mind---we hope!! LOL
Ilike the painting you showed. I will look the guy up. Well in paper not in real life I am afraid. HA!!

Such a variety in one place! That painting is beautiful and your photo is not too bad either
(lol). Next time you will have to bring Mike with and then you won't have to rush home after just one month.

It looks like a great lunch and hike. I hope that you get your faucet fixed.

Gaelyn, these photos are exceptionally good. I especially like the poisonous mushroom one. I found one like this on its tall stem in Austria while looking for a place in the woods.....

Ah.........it's so nice reading your blog again. So educational and fun and your photos are wonderful! Hi to Mike.
