September 1, 2016<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
St. Augustine, FL<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What an adventure this has been! But it is time to go home and to bring this blog to a close.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the past 111 days, Ryder and I have traveled in the RV over 20,000 miles through 34 states and 4 Canadian Provinces. I drove through rain, snow, a tropical storm and dust storms. I have gone up and down mountains on grades as steep as 12% and on paved and unpaved roads than could be described best as goat paths and washboards.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I only spent 6 nights in hotels/camps (two on the excursion to Nome, three on the gravel-car trip to Prudhoe Bay, AK, and one in Las Vegas after spending the previous night in Death Valley at 119 degrees.) There was only one night of dry camping in the parking lot of a local park, when I couldn’t get the RV down a narrow, dirt road that led to the campground.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In addition to this, I rented 6 cars locally for a day or several days when I wanted to go to places that the RV couldn’t or shouldn’t have gone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I passed through US and Canadian Customs & Border Patrol 12 times as I meandered on my way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I saw black and brown bears, elk, caribou, reindeer, ptarmigan, fox, wolves, porcupines, marmots, roadrunners, Arctic ground squirrels, seals, otters, whales, eagles, hawks, buffalo, Yak, muskox, Dall sheep, goats, zebra, llama, ostrich, bison, moose, antelope, deer and coyote.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The trip was not without challenges, though. The first of two flat tires was in the driveway in Martinsburg the day before I left.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ryder’s emergency eye surgery occurred during the first week. I lived on Day/Night Quill for the first 10 days of the trip. The air conditioner went out, the hot water heater element went out, there was a propane issue and a plumbing issue. I got two rock holes (fingers) on the windshield of the RV and one on a rental car. One I-pad got crushed and my eyeglasses broke.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I survived swarms of mosquitos, larger and denser than I ever imagined, extreme heat and extreme cold.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thwarted a break-in of the RV while I was inside it and got to use words and tones that my mother most likely would not have approved of in any other circumstance. Ryder is definitely not a guard dog! She didn't make a peep!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I avoided a disaster in Canada by making it through a highway one day before it was washed away by flood. And I drove past three live forest fires.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The most expensive gasoline was in Prudhoe Bay, AK where they drill for it - $5.40 per gallon. Most expensive 12-pack of Diet Coke was about $13 and a (small) bag of Lays potato chips were $8 in Nome, AK.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But most of the trip was absolutely wonderful. I got to hang with Keith and his family on the Kenai Peninsula, with George and Pam in Vancouver, BC and with Craig in California.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had two offers to buy drugs in Great Bend, KS...they obviously mistook the RV for a meth lab. (Watching too much Breaking Bad??) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had the awesome 4-day trip to Prudhoe Bay, swam in the Arctic Ocean and saw Russia and the 3-day flight to Nome to see the real outback area. I took car ferries 4 times and drove through more tunnels than I can count. I took a glacier tour in Whittier, AK and a high speed canyon boat in Talkeetna. I rafted down the Nenana River near Denali and took a Cessna flight to the top of a glacier to mush sled dogs. I gold panned in Chicken and Fairbanks, AK. I caught my limit of halibut on a charter boat near Soldotna, the halibut capitol of the World.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I saw reality TV stars of at least 4 Alaska-themed shows and saw filming locations for several shows, including Once Upon a Time. The puppy even had a couple of spa days of her own.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I traveled through 34 states... visited 25 US National Parks, 10 National Monuments, 4 National Memorials, 2 National Battlefields, 12 National Historic Sites, 3 National Lakeshores, 1 National Battlefield Park, 6 National Recreation Areas, 4 National Preserves , 2 National Historic Parks, 1 National Military Park, and 1 Memorial Highway, as well as numerous Canadian National and Provincial Parks. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I planned this trip for almost 5 years. It was awesome! I really only made one detour from the original planned route and that was after spending the night in Death Valley...the 119 degree (Dry ????) heat did me and Ryder in. Her poor tongue was dragging on the ground...Instead of prancing she was hopping as the ground was too hot for her little paws. Don't know what I was thinking when I planned Death Valley in August!!!! Instead of taking the southern route back to Florida, I took a more central, cooler route.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had planned about 250 miles per day on average and added days for down-time periodically. The pace was just about perfect. And today, well, with the hurricane coming across Tallahassee, I decided to make the final drive in one day instead of two. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now it’s time to start thinking of another destination for another day!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">I spent a day touring Fort Smith, Arkansas, and it was quite interesting. As we pushed the Cherokee Indians west following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, Thomas Jefferson incorrectly assumed that the western lands were vacant and figured it would take white settlers 1,000 years to settle the West. In fact, it only took 50 years. As fate would have it the Osage Indians were in the area. So, we built Fort Smith in 1817 to have a base in which our military could operate to keep peace between the Osage and Cherokees. It was used for only a few years.</span></div>

The white settlers had moved as far west as Fort Smith by the 1830s. The settlers and politicians convinced the War Department that there could be a threat of Indian attack since they were right across the river, so a second Fort Smith was built in 1838, this time with stone walls able to withstand heavy cannon fire. But, alas, there was no attack and the extreme fortifications were never tested in combat.<br />

By the 1870s, the Fort became used by the US Marshalls, US Commissioner and the Courts. Arkansas was the farthest west district, and it was the largest, deadliest and busiest of the federal district courts. The basement, once a mess hall, became a primitive jail with two big cells which held up to 50 men together in each cell. Prisoners named it "Hell-on-the-Border."</div>

Next stop was Hot Springs, Arkansas. The street is lined with grand old buildings which held hotels and spas. A couple are still open. There was a faucet on the street where people were filling jugs with Hot Springs water. Decided to fill a glass for myself, for whatever magical mystical powers or minerals might be in the water. Didn't realize that it came out of the facet at about 125 degrees, so I couldn't drink it until it was in the fridge for a day. Hot Springs is a pretty little town; would be nice to return and explore some more someday.</div>

It is now August 31, and a tropical storm is blowing up the gulf coast of Florida and along Alabama and Biloxi. I'm planning on cutting the trip short by one day and heading back to St. Augustine early in the morning. There is one more post planned for this blog, a wrap-up of some of the statistics, highlights of the trip and other items that didn't make it into the printed blog.</div>

<span style="color: white;">Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Kansas was the first visit today. Years ago, there was over 140 million acres of tallgrass in the Midwest prairie lands; today only 4% of it remains.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">After John Deere invented the steel moldboard plow which could cut through the tough prairie sod, the settlers went to work cultivating the land. It took less than a generation to break the prairie soil and forever change the land.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: white;">T</span>all grass prairie is also home to bison who recently have taken to harassing the hikers...kind of funny in a way.<br />

The land changed hands many times from the settlers to railroad and to subsequent ranchers and farmers. The buildings have been renovated, torn down and rebuilt through the years until purchased in 1996 by the Nature Conservancy to preserve it, in cooperation with the National Park Service. The existing complex of buildings are made of stone and well-restored.</div>

<span style="color: white;">Next stop was Fort Scott on the eastern border of Kansas. It has an interesting history. Back in the days of young America, we pushed the Indians westward. The US was essentially east of the Mississippi. Fort Scott was established in 1842 and staffed by soldiers to preserve peace and to enforce a promise made to the Indians that they could have the land west of the Mississippi River where white settlement would be forbidden. Fort Scott and a number of other forts were built upon the Permanent Indian frontier line.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: white;">This Permanent frontier line didn’t last long. It was in the late 1840s that the gold rush began and white settlers continued westward believing that the US had a divine right to own lands from coast to coast, as well as engaging in the Mexican-American War through which the US acquired vast new land in the southwest. The Indians were moved farther west.</span><br />

The medical instruments were primitive – hacksaws, pliers and the likes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The mother was never seen alive again, but George Washington Carver (Carver was the name of the family who owned him) was found in Arkansas nearly dead from whooping cough and returned back to the Carver farm in Kansas. Due to his frail health, he was freed from many daily chores, giving him time to explore in the woods and marvel at the wonder of nature and learn to paint. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Fort Larned, KS was the destination today. This was a fort built back in the late 1800s to protect the Santa Fe Trail, which carried millions of dollars of goods between Santa Fe and Independence, MO. This fort was built without walls, an unusual design back in those days. The acquisition of lands resulting from the war with Mexico and the gold rushes added to the traffic on the route.</div>

After this it was washing day for the rv. I had more yellow moths smashed on the front of the RV than could fit. And it was another spa day for Ryder. Back in Fairbanks in early July, the groomer had taken very little length off her fur, and it was getting pretty messy. Now she’s clean and half the pup she used to be.<br />

Horrific thunderstorm at night; pup was scared of the lightening and the sounds of thunder. However, I was only 50 feet from an underground storm shelter, so I knew we could make it, if needed. You know you are in the plains when the campground management tells you where the storm shelter is first and then says how much the campground costs for the night...lol<span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Another day east. First stop was Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado. Sheer cliffs with a river down below, created by erosion over the past couple million years. It is estimated that erosion cuts through 1 inch per 100 years. It's also very dark down by the water since the canyon walls keep the daylight out.</div>

At the turn of the last century, the people of Montrose, CO (about 20 miles away) decided that they wanted to use the water running through the canyon to irrigate their arid lands and make them flourish for agriculture. They were able to cut a tunnel through the canyon and now have lush agricultural land.</div>

Upstream from the canyon, the Bureau of Land Management made 3 reservoirs with dams and designated the area as a National Recreation Area. The water flooded 3 towns and the created lakes are now up to 400 feet deep. There are 3 separate hydroelectric plants on the water to supply electricity to about 80,000 people and the lakes are used for boating and other recreational purposes.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Today was a day of awesome Utah scenery and National Parks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Began the day at Escalante National Monument and headed north through Capitol Reef National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and then Hite N.R.A. to Natural Bridges National Monument.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">From there I traveled past Wilson Arch and Hole ‘n the Rock to Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. Speed limit on Utah interstate was 80 mph. Drove east into the evening and ended the day at Montrose, Colorado. Gets dark a whole lot earlier in the mountains and in the lower 48.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">It didn’t make a lot of difference whether I was in a National Park or between two parks; the scenery was incredible and changed as I drove through different areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The scenery changes again as I left Zion National Park. Bryce Canyon National Park is reknown for its "hoodoos" - bulbous columns created by erosion of the adjacent cliffs, leaving a jagged column sticking up. The colors were more varied in Bryce Canyon - pink, grey, white, vermilion, and chocolate.<br />

The third stop for the day was Grand Staircase (the shape of the mountains/buttes) - Escalante National Monument. There is no actual monument - the whole area is considered to be one. The mountains and cliffs were much smoother than at Bryce and Zion parks.<br />

Just outside of Las Vegas is the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument. Took a picture of the signage, but there wasn't a whole lot more, although I suppose there are fossils in the rocks.<br />

Caught a show - the Australian Bee Gees tribute group. Didn't remind me of the Bee Gees at all, but for an hour and a half it was nice to just listen to some good tunes.</div>

As I have crossed the USA and Canada, I always wonder how the pioneers and settlers handled the area I'm seeing. Death Valley is a many-miles-wide Valley - up to 280 feet below sea level, captured by mountains on both the east and west sides. It is miles and miles of desolation, unbearably hot, still, and empty. Just vast nothingness.</div>

This was another day primarily driving eastward. Passed through the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, protected by the NPS to preserve several lakes and mountainous areas around Whiskeytown for recreational purposes. It had been occupied by Indians for many years; the 49ers came in search of gold and nearly wiped out these Indians. The river was dammed in 1963 and President Kennedy dedicated the surrounding areas for recreational purposes at that time. Lots of boating and hiking here, beautiful lakes.</div>

Lava Beds National Monument preserves and interprets the volcano history of the area. Volcanos were about 500,000 years ago. The Modoc Indians called the area the “land of the burnt out fires.” White settlers and the US Government more or less killed off the Indians or banished the survivors to Oklahoma. Scenery is different than what I had been seeing, rocks and soil are black. </div>

I did see some deer and pheasants while there. Didn’t go into the caves because there’s White Nose Syndrome (a fungal infection) rampant among the bats, and I didn't want to go through the hassle of protect my shoes, clothes, etc. I’m also not that keen on crawling around on the ground in the darkness anymore. <o:p></o:p></div>

Redwood National Park was pretty. The difference between redwoods and Giant redwoods is that the Giant redwoods grow a larger diameter trunk but don’t get as tall as redwoods. It was a beautiful drive through the forest.<o:p></o:p></div>

A redwood seed the size of a tomato seed can produce a tree that grows to 500 tons, is taller than the Statue of Liberty with foot thick bark. Redwoods are the tallest tree in the world.<o:p></o:p></div>

Visited Fort Vancouver National Historic Site on the Washington boundary with Oregon. The area had its early history in a tussle between the US and Great Britain, both wanting control of the northern Pacific’s coast. The two countries decided to share access of the Oregon territory, including this area until they could come to terms on permanent boundaries.</div>

Back in the mid-1800s, the Fort was a trading post established by the British Hudson Bay Company, where fur trappers would bring their pelts to sell. The port was also used for hauling people and goods up and down the coast. Eventually the land was divided between the two countries at the 49<sup>th</sup>parallel. Much to England’s disappointment, Port Vancouver was on the American side of the boundary. Within a few years, Hudson Bay Company pulled up stakes and moved elsewhere.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Crater Lake is, as one would guess, a lake formed in the basin of the volcano about 7,700 years ago. It took hundreds of years of rain and snowfall to fill the lake. The depth of the water is about 1950 feet deep, the deepest lake in the US. There is no run-off from the edges of the volcano into the crater; it is all shed to the outside of the mountain. That means that no silt runs into the lake, keeping it pristine and clear. Due to the depth of the water, other colors in the spectrum are absorbed and not visible to the eye; only the blue wavelengths are scattered and visible to human eyes, making this lake appear almost sapphire in color. The lake is filled with about 4.9 trillion gallons of water. The most beautiful lake I've seen on this trip.</div>

Began the day with a ferry ride back to Seattle, for the first stop of the day at the Klondike Gold Rush National Park visitor center. This park building interprets the history of the area during the gold rush years. Seattle was a port city which capitalized on supplying goods for the prospectors heading north in search of gold. Shopkeepers piled their stock 10 feet deep on storefront boardwalks. The Chamber of Commerce advertised that Seattle was the “only place” to outfit for the gold fields. Sales soared – to $25 million by early 1898 with tens of thousands stampeders in a buying frenzy to get their required “ton of goods” to take with them to the gold fields farther north. It would take 20-40 trips and 3 months to carry their goods over the mountain passes.</div>

The next stop was Mt. Rainier National Park, the country’s 5<sup>th</sup> National Park. Mt. Rainier has an elevation of over 14000 feet and is the tallest volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range. It is also the most glaciated peak in the continental US. Some of the glaciers are 750 feet deep and yet steam still escapes from the summit, a reminder that the volcano is still active.</div>

<br />Final stop was Mount St. Helens (volcano erupted in 1980). It’s so hard to believe that it was 36 years ago! I understand from talking with folks that the mountain used to have a point on top. After eruption, it is now a “flat-top” mountain, having lost about a third of is height during the eruption. Spent the night in Vancouver, WA, ready to start again tomorrow.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ebey’s Landing had historically been an area of small farms located on Whidbey Island. In the 1970s a new housing development was proposed for the area. The local farmers shouted “NIMBY (not in my back yard)” and joined forces with the National Park Service, the Washington State Parks, the county government and the town of Coupeville to limit growth and preserve the area as a farming community. In doing so, the farmers were entitled to a generous tax credit in exchange for a permanent restriction against development placed on their land deeds. There were a few old homes and farm buildings there, most all of which were privately owned and not available for touring. We did look at a couple fields, and then it was time to move on to North Cascades National Park.<o:p></o:p></div>

North Cascades National Park was another mountainous glacier park. It was rather cloudy during my visit, so even to tops of the mountain weren’t visible. The western side of the mountain range is wet, like much of Washington State. However, the east side of the ridge is dry, so there is a wide variety of plant life to go along with the wildlife, including bears, goats, mountain lions, eagles, salmon. I saw none.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Vancouver, BC is definitely a port city. Lots of freight made in China comes into North America through Vancouver. Even on the highways, you can see the shipping containers in storage, waiting for pickup by trucks and trains, or waiting for more ships to carry it all away somewhere else. Looked like a whole town of shipping containers up and down the highway in numerous storage lots.</span><br />

The route today was called the Gold Rush Trail, originally used as a path for prospectors to head north in search of their fortunes. Every 50 miles or so a roadhouse was built for overnight stays for the prospectors. Later, stagecoaches made a regular route along this road, which was a dirt path in those days.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The roadhouses were numbered by the mileage from Hope, BC.

Thursday was a day of travel, pretty much due east for 250 miles, passing through the mountains, a few glaciers, old mining towns and First Nations villages along the way. The town of Burns Lake was interesting – it boasts of having the largest fly fishing rod in the world -- 60 feet tall and weighs hundreds of pounds. <o:p></o:p></div>

After finishing the first season of that show, it was on to 'Jade Fever'. The sales clerk who helped me when I was buying souvenirs at the Jade City gift shop was on the screen. Interesting information in the show, and they are currently filming the 3<sup>rd</sup>season, but if it doesn’t get more exciting, I doubt there will be a 4<sup>th</sup>. The story is about whether or not they will find jade in Wolverine mining site, but you also know that the main character’s father had successfully mined Wolverine during the 40 years he was actively mining. I am guessing they will find more jade. That will be in Season 2.</div>
