Thank goodness, it was not all paperwork and chores in the last few weeks. Mr. Walker and I went traveling!
In Denver, Colorado we met up with Fabulous Friends from The Netherlands and together we rented an RV and we made a gorgeous road trip. We came home with thousands of photos and in the next coming posts I will share quite a few with you.
We drove through Colorado,
Utah,
Wyoming,
Montana.
And now, I will try and read up with friends in the Blogosphere….
Love and Liefs, Johanna

Fabulous, Johanna!! I’ve never been farther west than Pennsylvania so this is a huge treat to me. What a gorgeous animal that is. At first glance , I thought it was a moose, lol
The elk was so big indeed, a magnificent animal indeed. I had never been west myself and I was impressed and amazed yet again with the beauty of America and its diversity .
Mooie foto’s.
Ben benieuwd naar de verhalen,

Easy to see why you called it a “gorgeous” road trip. Gah! It’s gorgeous!
I could not use any other word for it indeed ;0) xo Johanna
Looks fabulous – hope you had a great holiday and feel all rested.

Hi Sarah, it was wonderful!!! have agreat weekend, Johanna
Looks like a fantastic trip, Johanna. I’m on my way to Germany just now, at San Antonio airport.
Have a good time,
Pit
It was a great trip indeed, Pit. And I wish you safe travels and a wonderful time in Germany! Cheers, Johanna
Oh, so you thought you could just skip out on a vacation and slip away without telling your friends on the Blogosphere where you were going, huh? Well… I have new for you Ms. Johanna, we had spies watching your every move. They even took photographic proof of a vacation you and your husband took on the sly. And they’re some pretty good looking photos too. Here we have you and your husband dressed in a cheap looking buck costume standing in the middle of the wilderness. Want more? Okay, how about this RV you were driving in? The tinted windows went for not, we all know it was you. And here we have some photos of the Rockies, the red dirt of Utah, the beautiful clear water of Wyoming, and Montana! What do you have to say about that? Oh wait a minute… all these photos say they were taken by Johanna Poortman—uh… I think that that would be you. Ah, just forget those silly accusations I made about you trying to slip away without telling us where you were going, Johanna. It was all WordPress—THEY PUT ME UP TO IT. I SWEAR THEY DID! UH… welcome back? 😀
Really, I thought I saw a red nose shimmering through the bushes…I thought it was Rudolf lost in Yellowstone;0) Glad to be back and wishing you an excellent weeekend, Johanna
ps I actually like that notion of Mr. Walker and I spying on wildlife in our bucksin suits…
LOL!!! I still can’t believe that after all the pancake batter I put on my nose, it still gave me away in the shrubs. I really have to get this under control before Christmas, or no reindeer games for me this year. Glad your back. 😀
Amazing!! When I flew from LA to DC earlier this year I believe I passed over some or all of those states. The red rocky landscape beneath me was fascinating to see! Nice to see you back! xo
Thanks Pauline! More to come and maybe you will recognize more too. Have a great weekend, xo Johanna
So glad you’re back, Johanna! Your road trip sounds fabulous and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your photos! Have a lovely weekend! Clare x
Thank you,and Iam happy you look forward to that…plenty more to come ;0) Have a great weekend, Johanna
What a wonderful trip, thanks for sharing your adventure.
It was marvelous indeed, I am happy you enjoy it! xo Johanna
Oh, Johanna! Your photos are breath taking! Looks like you had beautiful weather for your trip. Fall is such a lovely time to travel. Welcome home! 🙂
Thank you Jill! And indeed, it was very nice to escape to hot Septmeber month in Cincy ;0) xo Johanna
The pictures look great! I can’t wait to see more. How wonderful that you got to connect with friends and enjoy such beautiful geography on a road trip. I love such things. Take care!
Thank you,and Iam happy you look forward to that…plenty more to come ;0) And it was so wonderful to meet up with our friends! Have a great weekend, Johanna
Johanna,
All I could think of when I was studying each picture is: America! America! America! Aren’t we lucky?
I had never been west myself and I was impressed and amazed yet again with the beauty of America and its diversity .
Oh, my! Beautiful photos and beautiful country. So glad you had a good vacation and now we’ll get to hear about it!!! Glad you’re back and you had a nice breather with good friends.
I had never been west myself and I was impressed and amazed yet again with the beauty of America and its diversity . And indeed, what a great time to spent with our friends. Have a great weekend, xo Johanna
Welcome back. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Those photos are fantastic. What a beautiful part of the US.
I had never been west myself and I was impressed and amazed yet again with the beauty of America and its diversity . Have a great weekend, Johanna
I adore the idea of travelling across America in an RV, even more so with those amazing landscapes you have captured so beautifully.
Thank you! I had never been west myself and I was impressed and amazed yet again with the beauty of America and its diversity .
I have an old book called America the Beautiful. Your photos would fit right into it. How wonderful to have a road trip with friends.
That is a lovely compliment!! And I was very happy to see our friends again and travel with them. Have a great weeekend, xo Johanna
Oh, good!! You’re back! All refreshed and ready to show and tell, all about the vacation! I’ve never been to any of these western states but they do look fabulous and so different from the northeast. Looking forward to getting caught up with you and Charley!
I had never been west myself and I was impressed and amazed yet again with the beauty of America and its diversity . Charley sends lots of hugs and kisses. Have a great weekend, xo Johanna
Glad you had a good trip in a most beautiful part of our country. Hope your friends enjoyed themselves as well. 🙂
We had a marvelous time together in wonderful landscapes indeed!!! Have agreat weekend, Johanna
Hi, Johanna. I hear Montana is one of the most picaresque places in the U.S. So glad you and the Mr. met up with friends and had a great trip. Can’t wait to see more; these photos are amazing. I love natural beauty!
Thank you,and Iam happy you look forward to that…plenty more to come ;0) Have a great weekend, xo Johanna
You too!
Yay! You’re back! Looking forward to catching up on all your news 🙂 x
Like wise, homesteaders! Have a great weekend, xo Johanna
I can’t wait to read about your adventures and see your pictures.
So incredibly beautiful!
Welcome back Johanna. How wonderful, looks like a great trip. We love to RV too. Maybe next time, come and experience the pacific northwest.~cheers
Oh we are not done traling America for a long time yet ;0) I would love to see the coast of Oragon and I have been told that Portland is a fun city. But whar are your recommendations?
I would recommend both. Start on the Oregon coast and meander toward the B.C. boarder! So many great adventures to experience it’s rather difficult to pick one. By the by, you can even visit farms where they produce natural fibre for your sock knitting 😀 cheers
What an absolutely fantastic trip! I told my hubby if we sell our home, we should just buy an RV. Then I remembered the 8 critters we have! Oh, well! Welcome back and looking forward to your trip reports! 😀
Maybe a little animals shelter on wheel on a hook up??? But I share your dream of traveling and living in a RV ! Mr. Walker is not convinced, he loved his nocer set of wheels lol!
Gasp! Such a beautiful creature and you’ve enjoyed such close proximity. Were you on the edge of a lake? I love all the crystal clear water, when you can see the rocks beneath the surface and try to look way down. It looks and feels pristine, gives me hope for the environment and all that lives there. How fun to travel with friends from home and show them around America. I never imagined that vista in Wyoming, for some reason I think of cattle drives and cowboys. Too many Hollywood movies I guess. See you soon. x K
I was so pleased to meet up with the Big Horns….since they live so high up, i never expected that! And do not worry…we saw the prairies and ranches and cattle and cowboys, it really is out there ;0) xo Johanna
Never got to travel much. I did go to the shopping mall. Two years ago.
A big adventure, I imagine ;0)
I’m so glad you had a chance to go on your big trip! I am so behind on my blog reading, I haven’t had a chance to catch up with all of the wonderful happenings in your life. Your photos are fantastic, as always – these are places I really hope to get to or explore more someday soon! Gorgeous scenery, and a road trip with friends is the absolute best way to see it all.
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! 🙂
