68th Stop: Windrush Alpaca Farm, Clovis, NM

Blog Post #79 - Written August 25, 2026

Stay: November 13, 2025


Our last stay in New Mexico was at an Alpaca Farm.  Our wonderful host was getting ready to retire from the business, so she wasn't acquiring new alpacas.  She still had around 25 alpacas that she was caring for, sending their wool to South America for homemade wool goods.  We bought a nice pair of winter socks (which I think I used for the first time in Mississippi of all places), and a wool laundry ball.

My funny story from this Harvest Host was actually meeting our host.  My jaw almost dropped when I saw her, for she was a dead ringer for my childhood piano teacher/family friend!  I thought she must have been some long lost sister, except when she opened her mouth, a British accent came out (my piano teacher is a Spaniard)!  It was uncanny!

We enjoyed feeding and watering the alpacas, as well as learning about how they care for the various ailments and conditions on the farm.

34th Stop - Flaming Gorge (UT)

Blog Post #45 - Written December 7, 2025 Stay: July 28 - August 1, 2025 Almost a year before our trip, I planned a Butler Siblings Family Reunion camping trip to Flaming Gorge. Starting in 2020, my brothers have planned a backpacking trip each summer to get away from the busy hubbub and reconnect with each other and with Mother Nature. A few of us weren't able to make it last year, and I knew my sisters and some of our wives and kids felt left out, so we planned a family campout for 2025. Unfortunately, my parents couldn't make it because they're serving a church mission in Tempe, AZ.  This was our only fixed/set plan that we had to schedule the rest of our RV trip around, which influenced our route and speed. But we made it! Which was a miracle, because the road into Flaming Gorge from Rawlins is treacherous with a trailer. It was very up-and-down and pretty windy and steep in many places. After we got there, I immediately dreaded having to leave,  but more on that later h...

49th Stop - Seal Rock, OR

Blog Post #60 - Written April 8, 2026 Stay: September 7-10, 2025 I think if we had to pick a favorite place that we'd happily vacation at again and again, Seal Rock might be it. The seals were great, but the tide pools were the show-stoppers! It's amazing how much life you can find and how much enjoyment you can get when you slow down and take your time to observe and explore. Z made sure we explored the tide pools every morning and every evening, and we found new, amazing things each time! Our campground was along HWY 1 and a short walk across the street to the cove / beach.  Our campsite was atop the cliff, so we had amazing views of the gorgeous sunsets.   After setting up, we just had to go to the beach, so we hiked down the staircase along the cliffside and found a naturalist's paradise.  Low tide revealed hundreds of sea stars and millions of sea anemone.   These orange and purple Ochre sea stars are the most common. The cutest little baby sea...

39th Stop - Whitehall, MT

Blog Post #50 - Written February 20, 2026 Stay: August 16, 2025 When I booked our Harvest Host stay (one night pitstop) in Whitehall, I never would have guessed how dear this little town would become to us.   We pulled into town and our first thought was, "Wow! I feel like we've been here before!"  Turns out, we had.  When we left our campground in Dillon for Special K Ranch, we drove right through the little downtown area of Whitehall.   Our camp spot for the night was in an alley behind one of the local churches.  Only felt a little bit sketchy... But we maneuvered ourselves and only stuck out a little bit into the alley.  We saw some locals riding their horses past our trailer as they went to and from the bar around the corner. Good 'ole western towns. Since we had some daylight left, we checked out the Western Legacy Museum, a cool spot that displayed fossils found by locals, gems and rocks, and other historical finds.  The kids all got t...
