Construction crews started on the campground road at 0515 so it was not a good night for sleeping. Walking around the campground, we met Pat from Calgary, who has a 2016 Lexor. He took a peek…

Mammoth Hot Springs to Montana
Yellowstone National Park Monday 10 June 2019 The site wasn’t level, even with using all our giant lego style blocks under the rear wheels, so we made up the bed backwards with our heads towards the front of the van and it worked just fine. If we can’t be level, we both prefer to sleep…
