Well, we finally got back on the road yesterday around 1:30pm. The new truck runs and pulls great. We decided to make up some time by getting as close to West Yellowstone as we could last night. We made it to Idaho Falls about 1:30 this morning and caught a 4 hours nap in the WalMart parking lot before stocking up and heading on to Red Rock RV Park near Island Park Idaho. We'll be spending about a week here with Ronnie and Nancy before moving farther north.
The scenery was beautiful through Wyoming and see saw Elk and Antelope. The grade was pretty steep going into and back out of Jackson Hole, but the truck did great. The speed limit is pretty slow in much of the mountains, partly due to grade and road work. We did come up on a wreck about 11:00pm last night. A small sedan had hit a Bison. What a site.
The temperature is pleasant here. It's been in the 50s today. There's been a little rain, but not too bad. We plan to just rest up this evening (considering sleep was short last night).
This is Audra (Spradley) Denn. My mom and dad said to tell you that it sounds like you are having lots of fun. Enjoyed hearing about your trip so far. Tell Ronnie and Nancy that Moe and Karen said hi.

I'm enjoying reading your blog. Wish I could see all the sites as well. Keep the updates coming!

I don't know if they do this or not but when we were there the "spotters" were trying to locate and keep track of the wolves in the early morning hours, like 5:30 a.m. North part of Yellowstone by the Roosevelt Lodge I believe. Spotters had super spotting telescopes and if they saw wolves they would share. All we saw were tiny black blobs but it was interesting nonetheless. Just thought I'd mention it. That was a few years ago when they were trying to build up the wolf population.
ReplyDeleteAudra,good to hear from you. I told Ronnie and Nancy hi. Hope your dad is doing ok tell him we have been thinking of him. Having fun seeing lots of new stuff. 40 degrees and sunny today.
ReplyDeleteI want pictures of the new truck!! The house project seems to be coming along nice! It's amazing to see how they take apart everything and slide it down the ramp to the dumpster. Tell the girls hello!!
