The year was 1876, following years of broken treaties by the white man culminating with General Custer trying to establish a military fort upon the discovery of GOLD. Great news thought pioneer settlers 3 years after the PANIC DEPRESSION of 1873. Ditto for Custer, looking to regain his reputation after showing distinguished heroism during the Confederate War, only to have later been busted during a Court Marshall for taking his troop AWOL for an unauthorized trip so he could see his beloved wife. Ambitious to quickly regain his stature as a war hero leader, General Custer jumps in to battle with the Native Americans (aka Indians) before reinforcements arrived. But he didn’t figure the natives 2,000 fierce warriors were not about to forfeit their land granted by the two treaties signed by the United States government . And now we better understand the term “Indian Giver”

As we left Yellowstone Park heading North-East, we spent the night at the Crazy Creek Campground. Continuing North to Billings, we climbed, climbed and climbed some more in our RV before reaching Beartooth Mountain Pass at a whopping 10,947 feet high! Best of all, our Siberian Husky Kaliki loved the opportunity to frolic in the snow – overlooking mountain sheep and an abundance of pristine lakes.

After wrapping up our tour of the Grand Tetons (North of Jackson Lake), we entered Southern Yellowstone for an awesome “spin around the Park.” Yellowstone Falls had dramatic views and of course Old Faithful Geyser is not to be missed, complete with an insightful Park Ranger talk. Best of all, in the Lamar Valley we spotted herds of thousands of Buffalo’s, and even had one walk up to us in our RV!

DIY projects can turn out like viewing the tip of an iceberg, looking manageable until you discover the depth and gravity of its mass. Ditto for plumbing projects – sometimes you win, sometimes you discover why plumbers charge a pretty penny! In this video we tackle replacing a leaky Dometic faucet. So if you like a story with twists and turns, be sure to check out lots of ins and outs with a seemingly “easy peasy” job. The saying is true, “Happy Wife, Happy Life!”

Idaho Falls may not have the stunning 200+ waterfalls we found at Shoshone Falls, but they makes up for it with a very long waterfall where you can get up very close (and personal). Also, the Idaho Falls and Snake River are so close you can easily touch it. And if that isn’t enough, don’t miss out on the beautiful greenbelt where you can walk or bike adjacent to the river and falls for a 5+ mile loop! Ironically we learned that the original project was spearheaded by their local Rotary Club!

While traveling from Elko, Nevada to Twin Fall, Idaho a reckless Walmart semi-truck driver cut us off at 60 miles per hour!

Wow, this has to be our favorite campground so far on our “90 Day Around America.” As you’d expect in a National Forest, the 40 site campground only has the basics – running water and restrooms (no showers). But the hiking trails and views are definitely breathtaking and well worth the 20 mile drive from Elko, Nevada.
