Rock formations around Wapiti WY

We visited Yellowstone this year, choosing the stay to the east of the park and enter from the East Entrance. So we stayed at an RV Park in Wapiti, WY. It’s a real nice park along a river (but it’s down a steep ravine so we couldn’t access the river!). The little town of Wapiti has rock formations all over the place that are real interesting! Here are several that we could see right from the RV Park:

Giant Redwoods right near our RV site!

We stayed at an RV Park near the Avenue of the Giants so we could see huge redwoods here in northern CA. Turns out there are some right at the RV Park. Also the park is right on the bank of the Eel River, so there is beauty all around. Here are a couple pictures:

A beautiful RV Park in Rockford IL

We stayed in Rockford IL which is the home of the real Rockford Peaches, the women’s baseball team from WWII era..

The RV P all we stayed at is the Blackhawk Valley Campground. It’s huge with large sites and lots of green open area. It’s also right on the Kishaaukee River, several seasonal sites are along the river and there’s a small beach.

Here is a picture of the view from our front door:

In Bakersfield we stayed in an orange grove!

The RV Park we stayed at in Bakersfield CA was literally situated in an orange grove. They had cleared out trees to make roads and pull-thru sites but left 3 trees in between each site Most of the trees are very mature and they were loaded with green oranges just started to turn orange as we were there in October. In December and January they’ll be full of ripe juicy oranges and the guests are invited to pick as many as they want! Yum! Here’s a pic:

View from our front door of the Canadian Rockies

While staying at Fairmont Hot Springs we had a gorgeous view of the southern end of the Canadian Rockies right out our front door.  When we arrived it was very smoky in the area due to the huge fires seemingly all over British Columbia so we didn’t have such a great view the first few days.  But on the last day we were here the smoke cleared and the mountains showed much better.

Here are two pictures – one when it was smoky and one when clear. WOW!
