Heading out in Mini Molly with kiddie car attached.
On the road - Mini Molly (the motor home) with kiddie car in tow and four very excited travelers headed out at 6:28 am. Our travels took us through a wide variety of countryside including the Columbia River Gorge, Hood River, the high desert of Oregon, rolling hillsides and farmland, plains of Idaho and back to desert and farmland before heading into the elevation toward Yellowstone. We crossed the Snake River 15 times, giving us a good idea of why they call it the Snake River.

The first day was VERY long and we briefly considered making an unplanned stop allowing us to finish the next day. We took a vote and decided to push on. We passed through the west entrance of Yellowstone at 11:28 pm where a very surprised ranger informed us we had another 1.5 hour drive to the RV park! After a white knuckle drive (Karen's white knuckles) through the pitch black with fur covered rocks (otherwise known as bison) along the roadside we arrived at the Fishing Bridge RV campground at 12:45am. A short fifteen minutes later, the tow car was parked, we had electricity, beds were made and we began our first night’s sleep
