Trailer is back together now and working pretty good and ready for our Yellowstone trip this week. I am hoping to get one more season from her before buying a retirement 5th wheel. Hope we get to join you all on the road in a couple years.
Have fun at Yellowstone! We drove thru from Jackson area to W. Yellowstone a month ago. Be prepared to walk to see anything and probably long waits. At one of the hot springs area with a large parking lot, there were cars parked on the edge of the road for at least 1/2 mile!


I had planned for 9 nights at Fishing Bridge (canceled) and was figuring on going next year. After seeing the crowds I have crossed it off my list. However, I have spent time there probably 4-5 times in the last 16 years and every 4-5 years for the 50 years before (relatives near by), so I don't have much new to see there.
