GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK AT LAST

We decided to push on and drive over 325 miles from Heber City, Utah to our summer home in Colter Bay on the north end of Grand Teton National Park.  Since we arrived rather late in the afternoon, we positioned the RV in our site and were only able to do a minimum of the set-up necessary for our summer stay.  We still had a full day to get "settled in" before reporting for work.

The weather cooperated beautifully, with the sun shining and the temperature in the 60's by mid-morning. Our biggest problem in getting the RV situated was the fact that our sewer drain was about 15 more feet away than at a "normal" campsite.  We had to apply some creative engineering to be able to connect our sewer hose to the drain.


We washed both the car and the RV removing almost three weeks of built-up dirt and grime. Look how shiny the RV looks now.



By late afternoon we had completed most of the other chores both inside and outside, so we celebrated our arrival with an iced bottle of Korbel champagne.

Once it was dark enough, we took the following picture of the RV.



This was the unveiling of our second neon showpiece.

  2. Glad you arrived safely and are happy in Colter Bay. Love the new sign too. But no fake palm tree like the ones in Sarasota?
