Lessons Learned in Wyoming, Idaho and places around…

*It is great to need a sweatshirt in the morning
*It is important to know where to look for readings of electrical voltage otherwise you create a problem you don’t have and the dealer tech trouble shoots with you for half an hour on the phone until he says look at the reading on the electrical panel again because everything seems OK, then duh, you realize you had been reading the wrong meter the whole time….there was no issue, but leaned a lot about all the fuses on the coach.
*When you pull out of getting propane you might need to check to make sure the door is closed tightly otherwise you will have the pilot car for the construction zone of the highway speeding up the side of the one lane traffic beside you waving their arms for you to pull over. Thanks to the nice man who stopped the one lane of traffic to get our door closed.
*Learned to play Pétanque with a nice couple Jim & Teresa. Teresa is from France and played since she was little. Amazon will deliver our game balls to our RV park this week.
*Trying to print Application for Absentee Ballot on a printer not used for a couple of years will test patience, but all is well as it printed even though no real idea as to what we did to get it to work, machines are like that sometimes and we will hopefully get our mailed in ballot to the address in New Mexico.
*There is not a more beautiful sight then the Grand Tetons. Just when you think you have seen enough you see them from a different angle and it catches your breath all over again.
*Li’l Red is not the greatest mountain climber…that jeep was on our mind
*Ice Cream even when served square cut in a cone at the Swan Valley, Idaho convenience and gas store is great especially freshly made ice cream. They served over 19,000 square dipped cones over the fourth of July weekend.
*Jackson Hole antler park never changes.
*I can walk away from a great looking pair of turquoise earrings
*In every RV park we have stayed when people know we are from Texas someone will ask us about Ted Cruz. One just does not want to get that conversation going as it is not a vacation topic. But the election is a topic of conversation out here.
*Lutheran churches are hard to find in this part of the world.
*Forest fire smoke travels a long ways and there is no mistaking that smell.
*Motorcyclists are having the best time on the mountain roads.
*Looking forward to Yellowstone Park…
