The prelude to this series of trip reports is we are two old retired folks who spend the summer traveling in our RV. We are living our dream. I was not going to do another series of trip report until I visited with Troy during our stop in Canada, but now I will be trying to keep it up to date.
I am playing catch up by documenting our summer travels which started when we loaded up the RV 10 and left Texas on June 20 to fly to Cheyenne to spend a long weekend with our son and family before meeting two other couples in Idaho Falls on Tuesday, June 25. These 3 couples then flew into Johnson Creek on Wed, only to find the approach from the south from Landmark looking like this:

So we elected to divert over to McCall for a couple hours and then flew into Johnson Creek.
Parked at Johnson Creek
As usual, we made the hike up to the warm spring, and since we were in a group, wore swimming suits for the required soak in the tub.
Visit to Warm Tub
This was our longest visit to Johnson Creek and required a second trip to McCall for food, only we found the valley socked in with low clouds except for the north 50 feet of the runway. Everyone was landing to the south just fine.
Approach to McCall
Another day we hiked up the hillside to view the airport only to find the trail washed out so we could not get all the way. This was the view as far as we could hike.

Another view of our RV 10
So we spent 10 days camping at Johnson Creek and in spite of some events, we had a wonderful visit. At one point we had three RV10s, an RV7a, and an RV8. I hope we can do it again.
