Welcome to the photo blog for David and Janet Elmore. You can find pages full of photos from our trips with Vanessa or Savanna (our van-based RV) and pages that are a record of events with lots of photos. Many of our travel photos are connected to a map at the bottom of our posts so you can see where we went and can look for photos at specific places.

Below is a list of recent posts.

Eclipse preparations at Glendo State Park

Sun 20-Aug-2017 Travel, Wyoming |

Today the weather is great in Glendo, Wyoming and, more important,  is expected to be great tomorrow! (However as I write this, we see a rainbow in the distance!) The park does not allow drones (danger to...

Eclipse chasing – Plan B

Sat 19-Aug-2017 Travel, Wyoming |

Off to Wyoming for Plan B. Cloud cover predictions Friday for western WY were under 10%, great news! While driving north on Interstate 25 we considered camping in Wheatland, WY but it is on the edge of the...

Eclipse chasing – Plan A

Thu 17-Aug-2017 Nebraska, Travel |

We have a reservation for primitive camping in a cow pasture at a ranch near Tryon, Nebraska. We arrived Thursday afternoon, well before the total eclipse of the sun on Monday, Aug 21. Tryon is right on the...

Amarillo to West Lafayette

Wed 22-Mar-2017 Illinois, Indiana, Travel |

The drive home was quick. The weather was clear, very warm, but a little windy. Our last night out, in order not to arrive home just at dark, we stopped at Kickapoo State Park in Illinois. This is a large...

White Sands National Monument

Thu 16-Mar-2017 New Mexico, Travel |

Driving Day

Wed 15-Mar-2017 New Mexico, Travel |

We closed up and left City of Rocks SP with Oliver Lee SP near Alamogordo as our destination. Our route took us up 61 to the Gila National Forest and over 152 to Interstate 25. The interstate took us to Las...

Observation Point

Mon 13-Mar-2017 New Mexico, Travel |

We decided to spend another two days at City of Rocks. The weather is so pleasant and the views so lovely, but really, I think we just don’t want to start home to, presently, snowy West Lafayette. We...

Table Top Mountain Hike

Sun 12-Mar-2017 New Mexico, Travel |

Within view of the City of Rocks SP is a high (about 500 feet above the campground) mesa with a rocky ridge around the top — called Table top mountain. We decided to hike to the top, 5700 feet. The...

Simon Ranch Hike

When we checked in at City of Rocks, we noticed a sign offering a Ranch guided tour for the 11th. We signed up, not being too sure what we getting into. Our morning hike started from the visitors’...
