On July 30th we decided to move to Vermont. https://youtu.be/C9lD5yUyAno On August 1st we quit our jobs, and on the 16th we loaded everything in a U-Haul and started the drive across the country. Six days later we arrived in Vermont. We camped our way across country staying in Utah, Wyoming, Iowa, Indiana and New York. As much as you could say that staying in RV parks is camping. We normally don't stay in locations…
There’s the Cascades, and then there’s the Old Cascades. Those weather worn non-descript “hills” west of the flashy snow capped peaks everyone knows about. The Old Cascades are filled with trails, small lakes and wildflowers, and lack the wilderness designation that bring the crowds. We went to explore in July hoping to catch a few wildflowers and find a quiet ridge with a view. We were successful, although the truck has a few new pinstripes from the brushy roads to prove it.
July is here, it was past time to take a backpack trip, so we hit the Fremont National Recreational Trail on it’s northern end and headed toward Yamsay Mountain. We’ve been on other sections of the trail back when we were wandering the Warners, but this was our first jaunt up Yamsay. Our cool spring weather is long past, and the uphill through the lodgepole was hot and dusty. But on the plus side, we were in the mountains with nobody around.
Our trip started at Antler Trailhead.
