While driving around in Eagle we ran across a couple working in their garden....we stopped and remarked about how good her garden looked and ended up visiting with them for over 30 minutes.....we could have stayed longer but we had a long trip home. They had moved to town (Eagle) a year ago. Before that they had lived for 20 years on a homestead which was a 4 hour walk from Eagle and their nearest neighbor was 12 miles away. She had a theory about using color in growing her garden...we didn't understand it all....but it was definitely working for her....the garden was already huge for no longer than it had been planted. Note that everything is planted in plastic grocery/garbage type bags. They were very interesting to talk to and had many stories to relate to us.....one being that when he walked to town for supplies he always returned home a different route because the bears would be waiting for him is he returned on the same trail that he went to town on. AS far as an address; there was a number on the light pole and that was there address for mail delivery. Our visit with them and another lady who stopped to talk to us in the street was the highlight while in Eagle.

May 3, 2011 finds us back on the road for six months, headed for the Northeast and the Canadian Maritimes. As of September 2008 we now are full timers in our motorhome. We plan to see as much of the North American continent as we can.
When we are not traveling in the summer, we will make our home in Star Valley, WY where we have an RV lot.
Here we are able to play golf, fly model airplanes, quilting, line dancing, dance parties, play cards, swim and four wheel in the mountains. Star Valley is located just 50 miles south of Jackson Hole, WY and we are surrounded by mountains. The temperatures here are very comfortable for the summer. Winter is a different story and that is why we won't be there. Way to cold for us although Barb does like the winter snow so we will probably find some now and then.
