Instead I will share today’s learning experience, and failure to achieve exactly what I would like. Hopefully, the map and points-of-interest component of this blog will improve. What doesn’t happen here is the interactive part; in this iteration that would have invaded your’s and my privacy.
My slow progression after I left Jackson on Monday, May 18, headed for a meeting at Chico Hot Springs, Montana, took two days rather than the typical half-day it would take this time of year. Not because of tourists or construction, but because I wanted to begin this journey with the same or similar pace I hope to have over the next few years. I’m in no hurry.
The first night I was at Rainbow Point campground at Hebgen Lake. The earthquake in 1959 is probably the first natural disaster I remember. I have driven past the region many, many times but never stopped. It was raining there, too.
Still close to home and feeling in familiar territory, I braved the first full-hookup in Gardiner . . . of the RV variety. Did nothing to shame myself and feel more comfortable each day with my ability to handle all aspects of my new environment.
I am now in a small campground utilizing power and internet to make greater progress in the digital part of that new environment. Did finish one REAL book, given as a going-away gift, and realize that I will need to keep more of those on hand.
It is a little early for most campgrounds, public and free, to be open, so, I have no idea where I will be the next couple of nights. The rain and few camping options rule the days and nights.
