Those last miles, seems like they will never end!

June 30 – Our last day on the road for 2 months!  It will be nice to settle in one place for a

while and not pack up and move so much!  We left Arco before 9.   Bill didn’t sleep well so once he programmed the GPS, he napped on the couch.  It was a boring drive!  All 2 lane road across what once were lava beds.  No trees, no houses, no towns!  For quite a while I was out there by myself, then I caught up to an RV, but after about 20 miles it turned off.  I pulled into pulloffs a couple of times and tried to adjust the side mirror.  We adjusted it before we left but the top mirror was really hard to get right.

I drove another 40 miles with no other traffic, then gradually there’d be one, and 10 miles later another.  Once we got within 10 miles of Rexburg, ID traffic was picking up.  We pulled off again and did another adjustment to the mirror but it’s still not quite right so it will wait now til September. 

We stopped at Wal-mart in Rexburg.  We wanted to check on a couple of connectors we needed for the water in the RV and Bill wanted a container but didn’t find the right size.  I got groceries as we were low on veggies and fruit, as usual.  I bought some things to grill for the 4^th and we made our way out to the RV and unloaded.

There was a slow down to single lane, but for the most part it was a good drive.  I counted 103 RVs leaving West Yellowstone area in a 45 miles drive.  And it’s not peaked yet!

The park is in the best shape we’ve ever seen it, inside the building and outside.  Gina and Rick and Becky were glad to see us and we were excited to see them.  They are taking over for the parents and are doing a wonderful job.  We were an hour talking and filling our propane before settling into our site.  Right where we were 2 years ago!  The weather is great and now we start cleaning the RV from 6 weeks on the road!  Ugh!
