We are RV camped tonight at the Headwaters campground in the area between Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The other DrC, our niece, and a longtime family friend have been here since Sunday.
They’ve toured both parks and generally had a good “girls campout.” Their major goal - to see a moose - was achieved today, no bears this trip but plenty of bison and elk. The weather has been perfect, and the crowds are mostly gone.
I showed up this afternoon. Tomorrow we hitch up the truck and tow the RV back to its summer parking spot near our summer residence. The two visitor gals head home to CA, while the DrsC get busy with the various end-of-season shutdown procedures.
Those include packing the RV for the trip to winter quarters and getting our residence ready to “do a Brigadoon” for the winter. We have been doing this since the mid-1990s, so the process is almost second nature. As you can imagine, the next couple of weeks will be busy.
