We made it!!!

We have finally reached our goal of The Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival here in Driggs Idaho. It’s been quite a journey to this point. We have covered over 7200 miles, camped in over 30 places, fished over 25 rivers and creeks, spent more money on fuel than I expected, and met some amazing people in both meanings of the word.

Now we are enjoying listening to some of the best bluegrass and Newgrass bands in America today. We decided the traditional mountain music played by Foghorn Revival is our favorite so far.

It is Sunday morning and everyone at the festival seems to be moving slowly for some reason. We are slowly getting into our “festival mode” and trying to decide when to head over to the grounds.

Our camp spot is located on a hill overlooking the main camping area that is filled with all sorts of car camping and tent camping festivarians. Our view is to the west so we get the sunsets that have been spectacular.

Yesterday we hiked in the morning before heading over to listen to the music. We have met folks and families from all around this region of the country. Tomorrow we begin the final leg of our first big adventure trip to the Northwest part of America and Canada. We are setting our sights on a road trip to Alaska next summer. Stay tuned.

We are both a little sad because Jojo the pretty good dog is in a kennel while we party down. I am sure she will be ecstatic to see Charlotte tomorrow and somewhat glad to see me.

We intend to be in the Denver area until the snow flies in late October. Our time will be spent playing with kids and grandkids, playing music with friends and assessing the “true needs” of all the stuff we have in the camper. I am sure that at least 25% of my stuff will be heading to a thrift store near you. :-P

Andiamo,
