In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Reed Point, MT & Island Park, ID




Tuesday was a travel day with an early start at 8:10am, we covered 340 miles in six hours to Reed Point, MT. A fair amount of the time the expressway followed the Yellowstone River. We have only driven further one time in the last two years. The weather was cooperating with a fair amount of sun and running through 3 or 4 rains storms. Only one stretch of strong headwinds for about 10 miles. We stayed at the same RV Park last year, a small mom & pop place beside the expressway. The population of 96 claims to be the sheep herding capitol of the US.
Today, Wednesday, we traveled about 100 miles on the back roads through the Rockies. The road followed the Madison River into Idaho and we had only one climb when the truck slowed to 30mph in second gear cresting the peak. She did her work today. Jody.....the check engine light came on again yesterday
but didn't go off when i got diesel like the first time. There's no Ford dealer around here so we'll stop in Bozeman, MT after the G&G rally next week to have it checked out.
We are staying here for 3 nights before traveling 5 or 6 miles over the Targhee Pass Saturday to Lionshead CG & the G&G rally with about 50 HitchHikers. We went for a walk around the park and there are 4 other HitchHikers here but none going to the G&G rally so we invited them. We were told they had 4" of snow here Saturday. It's 62, lots of big white clouds so limited sunshine and a good wind blowing, feels like 52 out there.
