Oh Boy. We Might Need to Build an Ark to Get Home.

We intended to drive 330 miles today and then another 200 on Friday to arrive at Yellowstone.

Our run of good weather is at an end.  This area of WY/MT is getting hammered with rain.  Everything is flooding and they are expecting 2 inches by Saturday, which wouldn't be a problem for us EXCEPT...

Remember the red neck water ingestion fix that didn't work back in Utah?  Yeah, we went through three air filters today and only went about 200 miles.   This RV does not like rain and rain is in the forecast for this whole area for the entire upcoming week.

We are going to attempt to make it to Yellowstone tomorrow, but if we can't, we're just going to continue on and limp our way home.  Fortunately, if we have to miss Yellowstone, it's only a two day drive away.

Here's hoping the storm moves through faster than anticipated!

I can't believe it's almost time for you to be home! Unbelieveable. Sorry about the rain... but if it's any consolation, it's GORGEOUS here in Scappoose!

I hope you make it to the Tetons and Yellowstone! We stayed at Flagg Ranch with our trailer on our honeymoon in 2002.....Dubois and Jackson Hole are fun sidetrips! Can't wait to see you!

Are you sure Yellowstone is going to have rain and not snow?

I love Yellowstone, I really, truly, do, but, it's a little early in the season for Yellowstone.

Sorry Annette--that doesn't make me feel better. :)

Erica - I hope we get to see them too!

Carrie--it's only suppose to get to the low 40's next week so it should be rain. It won't matter much if we can't drive in it. :(
