Motorhome Tour of the North West and Yellowstone

IMG_7830

We’re setting up for our next motorhome trip to Yellowstone National Park and points of interest in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.  The 12v input to our RV’s refrigerator is out. It is probably a fuse on the refrigerator itself.  It will be good to have that repaired before we leave.

We have a new addition to our toys, a Catrike Dumont for Ellen.  It folds, though it is too cumbersome folded to go inside “Little Beast”.  A rack for a bicycle and a trike will arrive tomorrow.  I’ll set it up then.

Ellen, no longer concerned about falling

I am exploring methods of covering the rack to protect the cycles from weather and stone debris.

Ellen is headed to Hilton Head to visit Jessie and Ariana tomorrow.  We’ll head out in Li’l Beast when she returns in a week’s time.

My plan is to stop along the American River near Sacramento to do some biking there (maybe).  We’ll stop for the night someplace comfortable near Reno, then buzz through Nevada.  Nevada has some remarkable scenery that just goes on and on for miles and miles. We’ll drive through and stop when we leave Nevada’s desolation.  Here’’s my plan for the trip out:
