Almost time with the kids

Tomorrow we leave Island park and head for Csacade, ID. We will meet Becky, Fred, & Lindsay there. We will see some friends of Fred & Becky's there, too. We will stay in Hagerman, ID. (between Twin Falls and Boise) for 3 days. It is a Passport America park and $10 cheaper than here.
We have been here 2 weeks and we have run the gamut of things to do and see. Ten days would have been long enough, but we couldn't meet the kids until Wed, the 12th.

We have been doing laundry and generally cleaning up in and around the coach.
I washed the car on Thursday and that evening we got a short lived thunderstorm that was carrying dirt in the rain. The car looked as if I had not washed it other than the dead bugs were gone. I was not a happy camper.
It rains here almost every evening for a short time. But the wind blows so much and so hard that it dries out very fast. The management is watering every day in the lots between the sites.

It is overcast this morning with the tops of the mountains obscured by the clouds, and the prediction is for rain and cold temperatures today, high 54. It will be warming tomorrow into the 60's.
There isn't any wind this morning, but I'm sure that will change, being at the edge of the valley and so close to Henry's Lake the wind blows almost constantly.

This area of the country is beautiful and we love to come and see it.
Yellowstone changes every time we come and there is always something new to see.
We still haven't seen any moose or bears, but with the crowds that are here this time of year, the animals are staying away from the areas traveled by humans.
The bison and cow elk don't seem to mind the people, they just go where they want.

Ta ta for now
