Today we did our monthly rv wash and semi-annual waxing. How long does it take to wash and wax the entire motorhome, roof and all? It took us about 7 hours this time. Today it was an ideal day in the 70's. To be continued...
This morning, we woke up to temperatures in the 20's and snow-covered mountains. By evening, the sky was filled with a great sunset and most of the snow was gone.
Since our cats had all-you-can-eat cat food and were quite relaxed, we decided to head to The Gusher for all-you-can-eat spaghetti.
Wednesdays are Spaghetti Night from 5 to 8 and, as far as we know, this is the only all-you-can-eat meal to be found in West Yellowstone.
As Marlon was on his third plate and Doug was just starting his second plate, we decided to ask the waitress the most plates she has seen anyone eat. She said she had seen someone eat three. Then she decided there had been one person who ate four. At that time, Marlon decided he was full and would not try to set a new record.
Eat Till You Bust! That's what Marlon tried to do.
It won't be long now before winter starts settling here at West Yellowstone. Sunday, when we were working at the IMAX, it started snowing. It didn't accumulate but it was just a little hint of what is to come. The temperature got down in the 20's Sunday night and is expected to be in the lower 30's at night all this week. The nice part is that we are sleeping when it is that cold and the days are great in the 60's.
Now that Labor Day weekend is over, we can look forward to less crowded days in the park. Well, less people anyway. To be continued...
Today we got up and headed for the Going to the Sun Road, the only road that travels through the heart of the park. An historic civil engineering landmark spanning 53 miles, the road was completed in 1932.
The road goes over the Continental Divide at Logan Pass, which can get up to 80 feet in annual snowfall. The road can take up to ten weeks to clear each spring.
