Some of the National Forests will allow dispersed camping after Labor Day up until April 30th but not all the Nat'l Forests allow this, just another thing to check out whenever anyone is in this area between those times.<br /><br />I think we have only had this happen once before that we got this close. It's not so bad when you are close to gas stations but if you are in the middle of nowhere then it be a big problem and we would never let it happen in that case.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-31056801746688403882015-04-27T12:34:19.768-04:002015-04-27T12:34:19.768-04:00I remember reading about your adventures here Geor...I remember reading about your adventures here George, and how much you enjoyed the area.

I noticed this little bypass on the map just on the north side of Ashton, we looked for the road but soon realized that the bypass must have started in town and by that time Kevin didn't want to retrace our steps so we continued on. Now, we are really regretting that we didn't return back to town and take the bypass. We will remember that next time we are in the area. Thanks for thinking of us Lori.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-24553137318159013452015-04-27T11:55:44.641-04:002015-04-27T11:55:44.641-04:00We probably had about the same amount left in the ...We probably had about the same amount left in the tank s well.

Plus I really enjoy your travels outside the US and Canada. I'm not into camping, even with an RV, so it's all very interesting to me. Stay safe!

May 15th is their usual opening target date.<br /><br />We cut it close like that just once and did NOT like it ... too stressful. We like getting the best (cheapest) gas price we can, but we're willing to pony up and pay two cents/gal more for the peace of mind! Glad you got gas when you did!!

It is (Hwy. 47) that goes back into Hwy 20 after about 15 miles or so. On this scenic route (47) you can see the spectacular Mesa Falls. It is beautiful & I highly recommend it if you have the time to stop. There is an outlook on the upper falls.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036524099669735252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-32186041075493603392015-04-25T14:42:16.742-04:002015-04-25T14:42:16.742-04:00Thats cutting it pretty close on the fuel, the clo...Thats cutting it pretty close on the fuel, the closest we came was we put 73 gallons in a 75 gallon tank, Now we don't let it get that low anymore.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51956447396211547162015-04-25T14:33:06.074-04:002015-04-25T14:33:06.074-04:00Yes, most of today's pics were taken by Ruth!Yes, most of today's pics were taken by Ruth!Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-79996113386506649482015-04-25T12:53:49.619-04:002015-04-25T12:53:49.619-04:00I'm amazed at how you have time to do all that...I'm amazed at how you have time to do all that driving and also figure out where you are going to camp.

Their feeling was, "If you ain't payin', you ain't stayin'." I found the same attitude outside Glacier NP in Montana.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974453598992131798noreply@blogger.com
