Rolling...

Departure Day... we pulled the cargo trailer up to the road, brought the truck back to the 5th wheel, hooked up, pulled the 5th wheel up to the trailer, and hooked that up. Whew, that would be a full day right there; but, it's time to roll. We stopped for a photo of the rig before we left the park...


You can see the Tetons behind the truck, and here's the view from the other side...

The truck did a fine job of pulling the HH and cargo trailer up the mountains east of the Tetons. We made it nearly to the pass, when we came across road construction... as in: the road is completely torn up and we're going 4-wheeling! Well, 10-wheeling. It took the better part of an hour to get through the construction... but on the bright side, the slow driving gave us plenty of opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall colors.

On the other side of the pass, the terrain changed: way fewer trees, more scrub brush; shale and sandstone instead of granite. In a rugged and remote kinda way, it was still pretty.

Little Izzy was a champ. She went right into her carrier this morning, on her own. She didn't make a peep while in the truck and spent most of her time on Joan's lap or sitting beside me...

After 4 months, we weren't sure how she'd behave in the truck - no problem; what a good little traveler! When we stopped, she'd go right back to her carrier.

I thought I might be a bit rusty driving this rig after 4 months, but slid right back into travel mode again. It feels good to be back on the road.

We're down for the night in Casper, heading for Hart Ranch tomorrow.
