We rolled out from just before 6am for the three hour driver into the park. When we arrived, all was looking good, though we were denied any camping spots (full + waiting list) that we were hoping to get for a single night. No big deal though… we figured it...
We got in just after 10AM and secured a camp site for the two nights we will be staying here.It did not take us long to setup camp as it only consisted of opening the doors to the van. I did setup the new solar panels to give them a...
On our way out of town, heading West on Hygiene road at 45mph, a large brown and white figure at the top of a tree caught my eye from a couple hundred yards out. I was hoping that it may be a Bald Eagle, but I was not hopeful. As...
After an entire day of driving through two National Parks and hundreds of miles of lonely (but scenic) country roads, we ended up a few miles outside of Fossil Butte Ntnl Monument at the South-Western corner of Wyoming. This got us out of the foul weather, but no where near...
As we drove up and into the Flag Ranch area to find our Forest land camping area, we were greeted only with a road-closure sign which prevented us from going any further. This really threw a wrench in our plans and moved our entire trip forward a few days. We...
After spending the week in the forest, we did skip into Teton Ntnl Park for a single night at a “civilized” camp ground to shower, wash clothes, and re-stock on some supplies. The following day, we left our camp sight to venture out on a short hike that the three...
Just outside the National Park is the National Forest. While it may sound the same, on paper the different between a”Park” and a “Forest” is everything. Within the National Parks, the public is very limited in what we can do. The Government does this to protect the parks from the...
After the 12 hours of driving, arriving in the park well after sunset, we found a place to park for the night. At 5:30am the alarm woke us just before the sun began to peak over and shine onto the Tetons. We all jumped out to snap some photos before...
Monday morning at 10:30AM we left Conor’s place to drive North-West-ward to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. The first half of the day was spent behind the wheel fighting an overwhelming head-wind that killed any hopes of good fuel mileage. We suffered through it as best we could all...
It is an odd feeling; my child graduates from playing with toys to wanting to start playing simulated warfare. On the weekend of Tim’s 13th birthday, he and his school-mate went to play paintball, and I went to be supportive and take a few snapshots.
