We are home now and I finally have my laptop back and running. Oh and it just happen to cost $242.89 to repair. Sounds awfully suspicious.. tires seem to cost right around that much. Come to think about it so do new roof vents. Well anyway the world is still turning and orbiting around some planet or moon or is it the sun? I'm sure for $200.00 someone could answer that.
We had a great trip. We actually visited 5 National Parks on this trip. WE went to the Badlands, Glacier, Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef and Rocky Mountain National Parks. Every park is unique in its own way and preserving them is one of the greatest things our country has done.
We were without power for most of this trip. The camper is self sufficient but you definitely have to conserve the water consumption but also the energy consumed by the marine batteries. It's fun to live this way of life and it makes you realize how fortunate we really are. We all to often take for granted the long hot showers or the brightness of a well lit room.
Our mishaps are becoming less frequent. No tire issues this trip. The roof vent and laptop were unfortunate but simply part of life and travel. Our generator brings in AC power to the camper and we did have some issues in the cold mornings. I will be taking it in for service soon and I am going out on a limb here but I bet the cost will be...$200.00 or so!! Speaking of going out on a limb Santa is getting tired of the long drives and shower less days. One morning I found him outside and desperate. 
Santa is well now but had some episodes in the desert. He's in rehab now and let's hope it's not $200.00 a day!!

​Rocky Mountain National Park

So many pictures so little time. You just have to be there.Until we write again stay happy!

Hello readers. My laptop is broken I am trying to write this on my iPad.
​This is tough when you have klibasa size fingers. I would like to wish my daughter Aimee a happy birthday. I tell her the same story every year....I got off work two hours early just to take her mother to the hospital.  The train in front of the building was coming and the crossing bars had come down. Normal days I would have gone around the warning bars. Not this day I realized I had actual responsibilities. I had a daughter to raise and what a fine daughter she turned out to be. So happy birthday Aimee!!
​I will try to write we are on our way to Bryce Canyon today. Coverage in these parts of the land is weak at best.
