It felt so dry this morning and packing up felt routine. I worked through my workout with some crazy hair and a sturdy but uneven picnic table. I switched sides a bunch to make sure I was “even.” The girls played a little at the playground, but hitting and punching turned into time outs before…
Day 26 – Leaving Fireside Buffalo Valley RV Park, Grand Teton, WY and heading to Rawlins KOA in Rawlins, WY
We left Moran, WY about 10 am. Passed beautiful mountains and landscapes through the Wind River Range such as the Bridger-Teton National Forest, the Shoshon National Forest, Wind River Indian Reservation, and many other ranges all through WY. We took the Chief Washakie Trail as we drove through Wyoming. Washakie was the head of the…
Day 25: Downtown Jackson, WY + Teton Motors + Snake River in Grand Teton National Park
We knew today was a tricky day because we needed new tires on the Tahoe from all this trailer pulling. So, we dropped a chunk of change at Teton Motors to get her all prepared to drive the mountains of Wyoming and Colorado. We headed to Jackson at 8 am and drove through the cute…
Day 24 – Grand Teton National Park, WY + Jenny Lake & Hidden Falls
Sorry for the delay! Our internet has been a little shady through the mountains lately. Today I worked out to the sunrise, cows moo-ing, and I think a donkey. The clouds were threatening to rain and making shapes and beams across the sky. We all got ready to go and headed out to Jenny Lake’s…
Day 23 – Leaving Ruby Valley and headed through Yellowstone (Old Faithful) to Fireside Buffalo Valley RV Park right outside Grand Teton National Park
We flew out of Ruby Valley so we could get to Yellowstone and see Old Faithful on our way to Grand Teton. The old geyser was scheduled to go off around 12:36 and boy did the old geyser deliver, they were right on time. We entered the West Yellowstone entrance around 10:50 am. We know…
Day 22 – Ruby Valley Campground, MT + It’s officially a habit
They say it takes 22 days to start a habit. I don’t know if this one will stick but we seem to be in the groove. Today we were going to have a picnic near a dispersed campsite at Ruby Reservoir, we packed a picnic and took our time, no rush. Went to the playground…
Day 21 – Ruby Valley Campground and Virginia City, MT
Update: (Keith’s photos) As promised, Keith’s photos are below. Trying to figure out which wifi/how things upload/what settings on each thing at each place is best is sometimes creates these kind of annoying re-dos. We woke up late and my crick is getting better so I did my workout with a mountain view! The girls…
Day 20 – Leaving West Glacier KOA, MT and headed to Ruby Valley near Sheridan, MT
We packed up and were out by 9 am. We had a long drive with 309 miles and stopped twice. The scenery was beautiful even though muted by the smoky haze on the mountains. We checked our route several times against the wildfires that were creating the smoke and luckily our route going through the…
Day 19 – Glacier National Par….disappointment and pivot
I remember our first day driving through the entrance of Glacier watching the Rangers direct those without the coveted pre-bought entrance tickets into a side lot to get more information and turn around and thought, How horrible it would be to come however many miles to Glacier National Park to be turned away. Today…that was…
Day 18 – Glacier National Park, MT and John Lake, Horse Trail, and McDonald Falls Trails + “Rainbow Lake” a.k.a. McDonald Lake Beach
This was a great day. A cold 50-degree work out. My neck is still cricked so I think I might give it rest for a few days. We packed a picnic and headed out on a beautiful, secluded walk through the forest, under trees, beside a rapid filled river/waterfall, and across a bridge. We saw…
