Daily Journal 2017

We stayed parked in Bill & Julie's back yard for a couple of months while I did some work on the trailer.  Bill worked on Jack Culp's old trailer, which he is planning on giving to Lisa when completed.  In February we traveled to Brooksville, Florida to attend the Tin Can Tourists Rally at Sertoma Youth Ranch. 

From there we slowly made our way north, heading to West Yellowstone, Montana as we were taking a job at a retail store there. We did some sightseeing along the way, visiting Wall Drug Store, Badlands National Park, and other sights in Rapid City, South Dakota. We arrived in West Yellowstone in the middle of May in a bad snowstorm. We could not figure out what campground we were going to be staying in, and ended up going to the Cradleboard to get the manager who took us around to another place for us to stay. We ended up in a great lot next to some cabins. We were the only ones there, FHU with a nice yard. There was no cable or OTA TV stations, but good internet service.

We worked at the Cradleboard for a few weeks and they transferred us to the Moose, which their son ran. We worked until the middle of June when they decided that there was not enough guests coming in and said they did not need us anymore, so they fired us. Oh well.  We decided not to look for another job in the area, and ended up traveling through Montana, Washington, Oregon and back to Texas for the rest of the year.
