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!

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (and Devil's Tower)

We're stopped here in Sundance, WY where, yes, The Sundance Kid got his name.  He spent some time in the local jail and there is a decent museum in downtown Sundance, along with a bronze statue.





We then headed out to Devil's Tower National Monument where the rain held off long enough for us to complete the 1.3 mile loop around the base of the tower.
















We finished up by having lunch at Cindy B's in Aladdin, WY - population 15.  The place was run down and, by appearances, a total dive, but the burgers, pie and fries were delicious!
