NOTE: This post is now almost two days behind “real-time.” We did finally make it to Yellowstone and then Grand Teton, where we are camping for the next few nights. Details on that in our next post, but first here’s yesterday’s news…<\/em><\/p>\n

We just spent a restless night in the parking lot of Randy’s Auto Repair. Between the drunk guys coming in and out of the sketchy apartment next door, the impressive thunderstorm at midnight, and a dog with a bad stomach, it was hard to get much sleep.<\/p>\n

We’re scheduled to have our fuel pump controller replaced this morning, but it’s after 10 am and our truck is still sitting in the lot waiting for the mechanic. While we suffer through this lowlight of our trip, we’re reminiscing about some of the recent highlights…<\/p>\n

The Idaho Riccellis<\/p><\/div>Sleeping in a real bed!<\/strong>
\nThanks to the hospitality of Maureen’s relatives Tony and Celine, we spent Saturday night in their gorgeous home in wayyyyyyy northern Idaho. We enjoyed a comfortable mattress, real showers, and a huge homemade breakfast. Zora loved digging for gophers in the woods surrounding their house, and Tony even had an electrical hookup for our trailer!<\/p>\n

Gorgeous Gorges in Glacier National Park<\/strong>
\nGlacier was the definite highlight of our trip so far–not that there’s been a ton of competition for highlights lately. We had a beautiful campsite (A35 at Fish Creek Campground, if you’re making plans), the weather was great, and the park is beautiful. I suppose the curmudgeon in me (it’s genetic on the paternal side) could complain about Going to the Sun Road being partly closed, but there were so many other beautiful things to see.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
