Wyoming, Thermopolis and the Blog

The most difficult part of writing is allocating the time to actually sit down and write. Initially, Louise motivated me to take the time. She loved to see me sit down and write a post.  She would do dishes, straighten up the RV, read a book, or just go to bed while I wrote. It was the whipped cream and the cherry on the sundae. Now that I spend much of my time traveling alone, at the end of the day, I’m tired. When I do travel with someone or caravan with friends, I like to spend the evening enjoying their company. I tell people that I’ve been too busy having fun to write. It’s true, but as I refine my traveling, I tend to spend the hour or two to other things. I recently replaced the 1990’s TV with a smart TV. I enjoy it after a long day, but it’s a time suck. Not writing is a bad habit I’m determined to shake. I enjoy writing. I’ve been told I’m good at it, and it helps me re-live my travels.

Teton Rest Day

Today was a rest day from the very start.  It was cool last night, and even with the heater set low( too low) it ran quite a bit.  I located a propane distributor in Jackson, so before we heard off to the Great Basin National Park, we’ll top off the propane and we’ll be OK with hot water and heat.  This trip has mostly been about keeping warm as opposed to needing air conditioning.  I’m sure that will change on the return trip home when we’re way south in the warm states.

Black Hills to Devil’s Tower

devils_towerIt was a very busy day the day before, but we woke up early again at 6:15, had a cereal breakfast and were on the road by 7:20.  The day did not get off to a good start.  I was putting away a frying pan from dinner from the night before, and I couldn’t close the damn pot drawer.  I burned up almost a half an hour messing around with the drawer, which I was unable to fix, but did manage to close.
