Yellowstone 2019

We spent a few days in Jackson Hole Wyoming, including 4th of July visiting Grand Teton National Park before heading to Yellowstone.

Managed to see a Grizzly bear between the National Parks and then managed to get a night in Yellowstone after a cancellation, fortunately we were able to get two more nights at one of the first come first serve campgrounds the next day (no sites were available anywhere else). We did the normal tourist thing and went to see Old Faithful and as a bonus the Beehive geyser went off at the same time. Beehive goes off 1-2 times a day whereas Old Faithful every 90 minutes, so that was cool if you’re into hot smelly water spraying into the air.

After Yellowstone we pretty much headed up to Canada where we have been the last week. We crossed the border…twice…I had some firewood from USA that I had to take back to Montana, got a grilling from the US immigration after handing my Canadian passport while driving my Montana titled RV with my non-concordant NZ accent. So we threw the firewood out in Montana and drove back into Canada where it rained! So much that we have discovered some leaks, which is good, kind of. I have been doing some resealing of the leaking seals and have ripped up the carpet and vinyl which we were going to replace anyway. So basically we are living in an RV while renovating, just what Jo wanted! We have had some great lightning and even been on Tornado watch which was a little exciting. we are bound to get some more storms before we leave. The Kids are having a great time catching up with/meeting their Canadian cousins and all need a good sleep now! It’s also been nice to see Uncle Clark who’s over here. We’ll be heading out to see Grandma next week, hopefully I can get the new flooring down by then.
