Our latest adventure began yesterday when we hooked up our small trailer and headed out. We stayed overnight in Arco, ID at Mountainside RV Park. Nice little place, full restaurant. water and electricity with a dump station available. We left Star at 100 degrees, when we got to Arco, it was in the 80's still at 8:00.
Today we started out to Hebgen Lake, West Yellowstone, Montana. Our adventures always avoid the freeway if at all possible, so we moseyed from Arco to Idaho Falls, and then up to Island Park, past Henry's Lake to the cut off for Quake Lake and Hebgen. Beautiful. The mountain flowers are in bloom, the meadows were awash with yellows, purples, and white flowers. We did see Antelope, but really no other critters out and about except for a few birds.
Arrived around 3:00, saw some of the family, and then went into West Yellowstone for Pizza at Wild Bill's. Really good food, awesome service.
The mosquitoes are out in force, so we are hanging out inside. Tomorrow will prove to be a big day. We expect 70 people for dinner the first night. If everyone comes that says they are, we will have four generations here. Amazing. The Matriarch of the family is in her 80's...the last of 15 children that was my fathers family. She is quite a character, and I love her dearly.
