We were bitten by the 'wanderlust bug'  early in our relationship !  Our first roadtrip was in a 1967  3/4 ton Chevy P/U.  Norm finished off the interior of the canopy we put on the truckbed so we had a very cozy sleeping area and cabinets for storage and our Coleman stove.

Our destination was Yellowstone National Park.  We were in awe of the volcanic features there! Bison were lumbering across the fields and roads, huge white pelicans drifting down the Yellowstone River, river otters sliding playfully down the banks and even an occassional mama bear with her cubs making an appearance for all to see.  Crowds collected to view these events causing "jams" .  Norm would often just pull to the side of the road, get out his binoculars and see how many people/cars would stop to try and see what he was looking at ! He loved creating "jams", still does ! Yes, Yellowstone grabbed us hard !

Now, we are retired !  Griz is the name of our  Safari Motorhome and we tow a Jeep Liberty named T-Bear.  A new chapter is unfolding for us.  We are leaving our home area in Washington the end of April, 2011 and heading for YELLOWSTONE !!  We managed to secure 'work' in the town of West Yellowstone, MT at Grizzly RV Park.  It is a meticulously manicured RV park  right in the area we so enjoy.  It sits in the middle of about 5 of the best Blue Ribbon Fly Fishing rivers in the country.  Norm has been spending hours tying flies to catch all those elusive brown trout he has been dreaming of.  He wakes me up at night as he sits up in bed, still asleep,  casting his flyrod !  Most disconcerting !

All is well in our world for now.  I look with anticipation to the adventures awaiting us.  Of course, being married to Norm has always been an adventure !
