Little Camper in the Big Woods

Today the little camper took a ride through the Big Horn National Forest--beautiful, totally breath taking, awesome; as is most of God's vast open lands.

Elevation reached: 8743

We let little camper and the van's brakes take a much need rest (the front tires were so hot they were smoking) at Shell Falls. I am a lover of the water fall which made this rest stop worth the view.


We are resting this day in Cody, Wyoming; were we visited Buffalo Bill Dam.


Tomorrow morning I (we) will take my last "free" shower (for four days) as we enter Yellowstone. The girls have offered to skip meals, forgoing there meal allowance, in exchange for a $4 shower. I suggested dry shampoo and baby powder along with a hot meal...so far no takers over the age of twelve.


However it will be 32* at night for the entire Yellowstone experience...my hope is we will all be so tired after 20 miles of hiking that we will hardly tell how cold we are and that our newly acquired propane heater warms us to the core.


Go primitive tomorrow so until then...
