Roy, that's great. We should have our new rig by mid-spring and we plan on USING it next year. We'll keep an eye out for likely spots as well. That spot between Teton and Yellowstone was my suggestion. I think we may try to get up that way next summer again, so we'll check it out.

 

Pretty area......

I know we are going to Glacier next summer and a bunch of "local" spots.......

 

We need to get over there next year as well after retirement!
Our new truck camper needs to see some country!

 

If you heading to Montana.......let us know......

 

Have we decided on a date? I am good for July. Reason I came looking is we are reserving for camping next year and it is time to make July reservations if the GTG is in June (already made the June reservation for 2019).

 

 

I think that a place somewhere up in Roy's area would be good.

 

Howdy guys...... I have been slacking.

Dates: The earlier in the season, the less chance of smokey forest fires.......

Yellowstone - Teton area ??

 

I'm flexible on dates. Any location that would accomodate a group and still be close enough to do the tourist thing would be good. It might be good to get to Yellowstone before it blows to kingdom come.

 

Forest fires just sounds like another attraction to go see. As of right now I think we could only make the later date.

I'm good with either place.

 

Looks like Teton and Yellowstone are only about 40-50 miles apart? Thats not much of a drive really.

 

That's about 200 in tourist season miles.

 

 

Correct....... Folks should be able to visit either / both...........

BTW: If yellowstone "Blows"..... we won't be around to worry about it..........

 

Roy and Gang:

I know I've been MIA for quite a long time now, close to a year. I've been checking in on all the threads, but just have been so focused on work, mostly outside the US, that I've not taken the time to post anything.

I got a reminder this week of a new posting on this thread and it got my attention, so I thought I would jump in. As I see the discussion about Yellowstone and Teton, I thought I'd just repost my suggestion of Headwaters Campground at Flagg Ranch. It's just outside the north entrance to Teton NP on the John D.Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway that runs between Teton and Yellowstone. It's operated by a concessionaire for the Park Service as it is on Park Service land. We stayed there a couple of years ago and loved it because we could go to either park very easily with that as a base. It's big-rig friendly with full hookups. No wi-fi when we were there, but that suited us just fine as we were on vacation. Here is the link to their site: https://www.gtlc.com/camping/headwat...at-flagg-ranch

Believe it or not, we are still patiently waiting for our new DRV Houston. We ordered it Jan 23 and it was finally finished at the factory in Howe, Indiana two weeks ago. Over seven months in the waiting,,,,,really painful. Sally flew out to the factory to inspect it when it came back from paint (I was working) and it is being picked up by our dealer this weekend. They will be doing some final modifications for us over the next couple of weeks, including: installing a 6.5 KW Onan commercial generator, Cheapheat, upgraded faucets, Solar panels (1,500 watts), and some other stuff. We're hoping for a shakedown cruise in mid-September. Unfortunately, that pretty much rules out going north to Roy country for this year, but lookout 2019. I'll post pics in a couple of weeks when we pick 'er up.

It's good to be back and I'm looking forward to becoming a part of the group again.
