Location:
Peter D’s
Sheridan, WY
I had some challenges making reservations in Sheridan and wound up with two at different places, so we chose Peter D’s because they were so nice on the phone. He and his wife were just as nice in person, and they offered us vegetables from their garden.

This is perhaps is the fanciest campground we’ve ever stayed in. It claims to be the oldest KOA, established in 1962!

Location:
Bozeman Trail Campground

We had been to Bozeman before, and so had some idea of places that we wanted to see. We always explore, though!

Location:
KOA
Helena, MT
We were only here for several days, but this was a good layover. The KOA was really good and we had a great parking space, we ate at a couple of good local restaurants, and of course made it to a quilt shop!

Location:
KOA
Missoula MT
Coeur d’Alene was where we turned around to head back south, and even though we stayed in Missoula before, there was not any other logical place to stop. This time we stayed at the KOA.

Location:
Beaverhead RV
Dillon, MT
We get to add Montana to our map of states visited, these will be all of the additions in 2021. We list counties in Texas and New Mexico, and we’ve added quite a few in both states as well.

Location:
Snake River RV
Idaho Falls, ID
Idaho Falls worked out to be on the way to Coeur d’Alene and Montana, but also to stop and meet David and Kerry Bowman. I’ve known them from the internet since 1997, this was truly a bucket list visit. We had really enjoyed Sioux Falls SD and Idaho Falls was just as pretty.

Location:
Traveland RV
Logan, UT
We stayed in Logan for two days, and were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed the town. Traveland was nice, clean, and efficient. While reading the history, I learned that the name of the valley came from the fact that the mountain men stashed their supplies in the valley – a “cache” – when they trekked into the mountains.
