We made it to West Yellowstone in 3 days and are looking forward to Memorial Day Weekend in Yellowstone National Park.
We managed to leave Palm Desert, by 10 AM Wednesday which was not bad as we have never left home for 4 months before. The list of to do’s was endless and all the planning that went into this trip was well also endless. Ever since we were invited to accompany our friends Bill & Linda Moorhead on their Alaskan adventure we have been a bit preoccupied. It was pretty much split down the middle, those who said we were crazy & those who said they were jealous.
The Moorhead’s had several false starts, leaving Murrieta, but surprisingly they pulled into the Oasis RV Resort in Las Vegas right behind us around 3:30 pm. It was hot but not as hot as at home! We cruised the strip to see what had changed in the 10 plus years since we had been there. It would seam that we officially live under some rock if LV is how the rest of you vacation! Wow! So since we are such big gamblers & partiers we ate a tiny bit of a giant buffet and went home to our puppy to watch the finals of American Idol. How boring are we?
By Cedar City, Utah, Thursday it was about 80 degrees! Finally cooler weather.
We made Provo area for night #2!
Now after 350 miles today we are done driving for the holiday weekend at about 1,100 miles total. I think Lindsey has had it too. She has not eaten since yesterday afternoon & has refused ice cream & steak.
The Moorheads are the best traveling companions. Linda is a retired elementary principal and is like having a researcher, planner, navigator, tour guide & concierge all in one. And she does it effortlessly! Her husband Bill is a retired LA Fire Captain & paramedic. He is also a big jokester, always fooling around, he & Bill get on famously constantly trading stories.
Hope you have a Happy Holiday weekend!
Catch you in a few!
