This year the vacation trip south was a mix of new never visited and some old favourites.

We left home October Fourth and came back October Seventeenth. Drove a total of just under 7,000 km.
Stops at Idaho Falls Idaho for a night. Las Vegas Nevada for night and then further south to Yuma AZ for three nights. From there to San Diego for three nights and up to Monterey for three nights again. From there back home through central California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and British Columbia. All in all a good trip.


Let the pictures begin.

Coming into a mountain range south of Great Falls, I think they are called the Beltline Mountains. I have always enjoyed the trip through here and the road following the Missouri River.

Try to ignore the bug splats, they started to get pretty heavy along this stretch of road and stuck with us for a while.
