As I type (which will likely be very different from the time this is actually published due to lack of an internet connection), Jennifer and I are sitting in Reno, our RV, in the Fishing Bridge RV Park inside of Yellowstone. Everything is put away, sewer, water, and electricity are all hooked up, and hot water is ready. Feels pretty good.
The road to Yellowstone
Our day started in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Casper, WY. The previous night went well but for the bright parking lot lights and the ridiculous wind (imagine being on a boat... the rocking wasn't quite that severe but it was close). The wind was actually strong enough to tear off a piece of the A/C cowling up on the roof, but we didn't find that out until much later in the day.
We stopped by Wal-Mart to justify our using their parking lot: we purchased some fruit for breakfast and then spent a chunk of time publishing yesterday's post at a nearby Starbucks. There we had the pleasure of meeting Jerry Knobbles (hope I spelled your name right!) and enjoyed some great conversation. Best wishes to you Jerry, we could both tell how much you love The Lord and you definitely brightened our day.

The rest of the day went by much faster than the previous it seemed; Jennifer read aloud Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover, a gift from my stepmother Lori (Thanks!). I've gotten a bit more confident in driving the beast around as of late, but about 50mi outside of Cody, Jennifer laid down in back to take a nap while I continued driving through some especially heavy winds. I do believe a few unfortunate souls riding too close behind us caught a few pieces of the remaining plastic a/c shroud. For over an hour, the winds pushed us all over the road and kept us from getting anywhere over 45mph. That's enough to thin out my confidence a bit. Eventually, however, we made it to Cody for a quick grocery run before heading into Yellowstone.
Our trip past Cody was relatively uneventful but for the beautiful views (pictures to come soon) and some rain. Only hiccup was the threat from the front desk that we could have lost our whole 10 day reservation for showing up a day late, fortunately it is slow enough they let that one slide by. That might have changed the trip a bit.
Oh and the stabilizing jacks I bought don't fit... Not a big deal.

That's it for today, thanks to all those friends and family alike who take the time to keep up with what we are up to. Pray we don't have any trouble with bears, I'm pretty sure my 30-30 would be like a pellet gun to them.
We love you all.
