May 28: Well we had our stay in Butte and learned a lot. But we were still in Montana so headed East. Next stop was Miles City, MT yup still in Montana despite 7 hours stop to finish including rest stops. But lots of continuing beauty and open spaces. Miles City it turns out wasContinue reading “Wow Montana is a big state”

May 26: Well Glacier was great but both Jo and I looked at each other and said we had almost too much beauty. Neither of us had ever really seen the Rockies, or the expanses of the farmlands where 1000’s of acres were visible all around us 360 degrees. The grandeur and beauty of soContinue reading “Turn the ship around and head toward Maine”

May 25: Well I’ve been off the blog post routine for a bit. Our trip to Glacier was an easy and relatively short drive from Phil and Gail’s. We made it to the West Glacier RV resort and checked in to an almost empty campground. It is a newish campground built in 2019. And ourContinue reading “Even though it was too early in the season to see it all Glacier was beautiful”

May 21: Well we had a great 3 days visiting with Phil and Gail. They hadnt really changed since the last time we saw them perhaps 8-10 years ago. Too long. They graciously shared their home and family and we even got to be a part of their families 40th and 5th birthdays. While weContinue reading “Great to catch up but now going to the sun!”

May 18: After a great night with our best sleep in a few days we headed to our next destination….ACE Hardware! My friend Gary had suggested we try an ol filled electric heater he had. Our cousins had loaned us an electric heater to minimize propane use but given Jo’s noise hyper awareness at nightContinue reading “Off to see the Doc and Gail”

May 17: Well it was time to say goodbye to the vistas and geysers of Yellowstone. I had planned to hookup the night before but upon looking at my RV GPS with RV Life discovered it was taking me East before starting north and west, a 4 hour detour. Four hours less and I didntContinue reading “On the road again….time to visit a friend”

May 16: Day 4 in Yellowstone started out with me running a 10 o’clock video meeting for my part part time job. After that it started hailing and raining but Mr optimist wrassled a very tired (heat adjustments I make during the night still do keep poor Jo awake) Jo out the door and offContinue reading “Day 4 in Yellowstone we weren’t in Yellowstone that much!”

We started Day 3 somewhat slowly. We had reservations to take a tour out of the Old Faithful Inn (where we had reservations for dinner the night before and didn’t make. I’m definitely over it and a bit sheepish knowing the cause. I went north and down the west side in case the West thumbContinue reading “Day 3 Yellowstone And I was in Hot Water or at least looking at it”

Day 2 started with brisk but not freezing temps. Had a bit of a tough time regulating the temperature at night in the Airstream. We have two roof mounted AC units that function as Heat pumps when it is cold. Like all heat pumps they start to lose efficiency below 40 degrees and will needContinue reading “Day 2 Yellowstone – Happy Mother’s Day”

May 13: Well the rain followed us and while we were able to decamp with minimal rain it started a steady rain as we left the Lazy R in Ranchester, WY. Kind of sad it was cloudy as it obscured what would have been a glorious sight as we drove into the snow covered mountainsContinue reading “Part one of the Yellowstone experience!”
