The Dubois KOA had a playground for the kid and laundry. It was fine. I wonder if I’m getting jaded? I will say that we bought our 3rd Sewer hose there. Strangely 3 seems to be the perfect amount. However, can I just tell you about the The Long Buffalo Steakhouse. Holy $&@) is thatContinue reading “Dubois/Wind River, WY KOA is OK, but the nearest steakhouse…divine.”

Old Faithful, Geysers, Bison, and NO WiFi.
Let me say I was not expecting anything that happened at Yellowstone National Park. I loved things I didn’t expect and felt somewhat meh about some of the things I actually went there to see. Let’s start with BAD. We had no WiFi on a workday for me. This was not good. I had toContinue reading “Old Faithful, Geysers, Bison, and NO WiFi.”
Wyoming Dinosaur Center – Thermopolis, Wy
This was worth the money and the time if you love fossils and dinosaurs. It’s small, but really neat. Short. Good for kids. I’ve been to many, many, many world class museums. Not kidding. They have a ton of marble and are fancy. London’s Natural History Museum. Been there. Paris’ Jardin des Plantes & Pantheon?Continue reading “Wyoming Dinosaur Center – Thermopolis, Wy”
RV Stop – Elderly Dog with Ear Infection needed Vet
Callie the Elderly Retriever developed yet another (continuing) ear infection. She was treated for this ear thing in Wis when we had her stitches taken out.

In the middle of what wasContinue reading “RV Stop – Elderly Dog with Ear Infection needed Vet”
Eagle RV Park in Thermopolis, WY – Lovely.
So traveled from Devil’s Tower across the Bighorn Mountains to Thermopolis, WY. We had an idiot light (check engine) en route. ‘Cause Nothing Ever Goes as Planned. We are on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis. It runs on diesel. We had just taken on diesel at a Cenex in Gillette,WY. We suspected bad gas, but pulledContinue reading “Eagle RV Park in Thermopolis, WY – Lovely.”
Adjustable Sewer Hose Carrier – This could be a disaster in the making….
So we currently have two sewer hoses for the RV. The small hose fits perfectly in storage area for it in RV. We bought a second more sturdy hose on the road while heading south from Sheboygan, Wi to Milwaukee, Wi after we dumped for the first time in northern Wi and decided we neededContinue reading “Adjustable Sewer Hose Carrier – This could be a disaster in the making….”
Devil’s Tower Early AM Hike – With Whiny Kid
The Devil’s Tower hikes in the early am are really awesome. As long as your 6 year old isn’t whiny. Also avoids 94 degree August afternoon weather…. We are staying at the Devil’s Tower KOA. It conveniently located RIGHT outside the gates to the National park. So we took our RV up to top ofContinue reading “Devil’s Tower Early AM Hike – With Whiny Kid”
Thor Delano RV FB 2020 – So The Awning Just $&@! Broke….
How many things can break on a brand new RV on our first trip you ask? Add yet another thing to the list. Now I know why guides tell you to buy used RVs. So we headed from Keystone, SD to Devil’s Tower, WY. Lovely trip. It was maybe an hour and 45 minutes? WeContinue reading “Thor Delano RV FB 2020 – So The Awning Just $&@! Broke….”
Not Prepared to Hike the Badlands….
So our 6 year old wanted to hike the badlands in the middle of the day? As we drove through in our RV he was genuinely upset that we didn’t have the proper gear with us in order to go “adventure” hiking. I did not expect this. It was crazy hot. You probably need/should wear:Continue reading “Not Prepared to Hike the Badlands….”
Helicopter Tour of Mt. Rushmore – Keystone, SD
Worth the money. It is about a 15 minute walk from Rushmore View RV Park to Black Hills Aerial Adventures. We paid for the Mt. Rushmore Tour ($109/person) and about 15 minutes long. I had taken this helicopter tour (not sure if it was same company?) when I was a kid 35ish years ago? GladContinue reading “Helicopter Tour of Mt. Rushmore – Keystone, SD”
