Stick Us With A Fork

Well.......................... We have been discussing whether we want to continue to the west coast and the Pacific Ocean and we have decided to call it a trip. It's been an interesting time, but it hasn't been quite what we expected. Moving from place to place is fun for a while, but it can get tiresome. Also, living in such a small space and not having any water pressure can get old. We are about 2400 miles from Orlando. We will still have to live in the RV for another 3 weeks or so in the time it takes to get back and the time it will take to move into another house.


So, I guess we will be back in time to take Matt to Chuck E. Cheese! ! ! ! LOL, LOL, LOL. Did I spell that correctly? LOL, LOL, LOL. Come on Matt, you have to admit that was funny.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone is about 50 miles north of where we are staying at the Grand Teton Park RV Resort. However, it took us 3 hours to get there due to road construction and traffic jams. The place is packed. But we did get to see Old Faithful erupt and I did get a Yellowstone hat.

The Grand Tetons

Today we explored the area some more. We didn't get great views of the mountains because of the clouds, but we did get to see some buffalo up close.

The Grand View

This morning we arrived at the Grand Teton Park RV Resort. After getting set up, we left to go have breakfast, but got back about 6 hours later. The scenery is just awesome. Unfortunately, we forgot the camera! We did manage to take some pictures with our cell phone, but the quality isn't very good.
Tomorrow we are getting up early to get some better pictures and do a little fishing. After that were going to drive down to Jackson Hole where the beautiful people live and play.

Dubois

Yea! ! ! We made it to Dubois, towing the Jeep, with no problem (sorry Matt). We are at a KOA, backed up to the Wind River and we can walk to the downtown area of Dubois. What a cool little town. It looks like a movie set. Pictures to follow when we get settled in, but here is one off the internet.

The Big Show

Well, we picked up the motorhome Friday afternoon from the Caterpillar place. They said that it should be OK now. This was a major, big engine commercial repair facility. If these people don't know how to fix the problem, I don't think anyone can. I guess by going to 9000' elevation we will find out. No guts...no glory ! ! ! Last night we celebrated our anniversary with a pizza in a Super 8 Motel. It doesn't get any better than that! I sure we will do something more romantic at our next location which will be the KOA in Dubois, WY. It's about 60 miles east of the Grand Tetons. Almost to the big show! ! !

Number 10

Today is our 10th anniversary and we are going to celebrate in Bar Nunn, Wyoming near Casper.

We are still having problems with the engine overheating on the steep hills (even with the Jeep unhooked), so we are taking it in to have it checked out..........again. This could be crucial, because our next leg of our trip is supposed to be to The Grand Tetons. Some of the road we have to take will have an elevation of close to 9000'. So, if we can't get this thing working properly, we may be faced with a tough decision to turn around and go back to Orlando. We will see.
