The summer doldrums

Not much to report for today.  The hords of flies have kept us indoors most of the time, and now that it's getting a little cooler outside, the mosquitoes are descending upon us.  I'm told that this bugginess only lasts a short time.  I hope that's true.  :)

The evil neighbors from California pulled out early this morning.  I was happy about that.  It wasn't long before the next rig pulled in.  I'm hoping they're more reasonable.  I was envious of their satellite dish this afternoon when the park wifi went out again.  Their Verizon Internet shows up on my list of available connections, but of course it is protected. 

My other neighbors, Jackie, Jim, and June, just pulled in from their week long trip up to Glacier NP.  June really liked the trip, but all of them commented on the bumper to bumper traffic in the park.  July seems to be the month to stay away from these big National Parks if you can do it.  They're much less crowded in the shoulder seasons, if snow doesn't close some of the roads.  :)

I'm feeling the first tinges of hitch itch.  I've got three weeks left before I begin to make my way to Malheur NWR in Oregon.  I've been thinking of making some reservations at a couple of Idaho State Parks along my path, but I'm just not sure what will transpire at the dealership in Idaho Falls that will be taking care of a few issues with the rig.  I'm also thinking I'd like to stop at Craters of the Moon National Monument on my way out of Idaho Falls.  I guess I'll have to think a little more.

Well, I need to conjure up an adventure for Emma and myself tomorrow since the weekend is over.  Perhaps we'll do something that doesn't involve hundreds of miles of driving.

Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later,  Judy
