From Road Grime to Parade Time 😂

It’s been over a month since we hit the road, and after thousands of miles, the coach and Jeep were no longer turning heads…unless someone was admiring the impressive layer of road grime! 🤣

With beautiful weather on our side, today became spa day! They both got a good bath, and Don even gave all the rubber and plastic a little extra TLC. They’re now looking road-trip ready again…because there are still plenty more miles ahead! 🤣

After all that hard work, we rewarded ourselves with lunch at Yellowstone Beer Company. Don couldn’t resist going back for another bowl of their delicious elk chili and another pint of Ojo Caliente, their local hazy IPA. This time I had the Southwest Chicken Salad and a glass of Pinot Noir. I think we may have found our favorite spot in West Yellowstone!

After lunch, we enjoyed the crowds at the West Yellowstone Fourth of July Parade. They must have bought a truckload of candy because almost every float was throwing out a ridiculous amount! 🍬😂 And just when you thought you were safe…along came the water trucks, soaking anyone who wasn’t paying attention. It was all part of the fun and a perfect small-town Fourth of July celebration.

Not every day on the road is about hiking mountains…sometimes it’s about shiny vehicles, good food, and getting sprayed with water. 🇺🇸🚐😂Read more
