Where have we been?

Speaking of creepy campsites, here we are at another creepy campsite. It’s not so much the campsite that is creepy, but the guy in the pick up who did a u-turn in the middle of the road at midnight to follow us into the Dubois, Wyoming KOA. When Zach stopped at the office to get out and pick up the map the woman had left us before closing up for the night, the man got out of his pickup and approached. He wanted to know if the office was still open. Even though Zach told him we had called earlier to make a reservation and it was too late to get in, the guy still went to the door and tried to pull it open. Then he came back and asked Zach what number we were at. Too freaked out to realize he should just walk away, Zach went ahead and told him. So there we were, driving around a dark campsite, shining a flashlight out the window to read the numbers and the guy was just circling behind, following us with his headlights off. Since we couldn’t find the spot the first time around, we went back to the front entrance to start fresh and there was the guy still following behind. Eventually we found our spot and even though we were considering just leaving because of the stalker, we pulled in just to see what it would be like. Then luckily the sheriff's patrol happened to drive by and we were able to tell them about the creepy guy. They chased him off and we settled in.

So I never intended to be away from my beloved internet spots for so long, but I really wanted to get some pictures up on this blog, instead of just flickr, so I spent the last day of internet access trying to upload (with no success) some of my favorite pictures. Then we slept in the middle of nowhere without the slightest trace of wireless, much less a cell phone signal, so I haven’t even been able to call people. I’ll be on my computer while we’re traveling, tooling around with the pictures and the little window keeps popping up, taunting me with its alerts about being within range of yet another (password protected) internet connection. So close, yet so far away. Then earlier today we were in Yellowstone with no chance of any kind of signals. Now here we are at the campsite and I'm not able to log on. Since the office has closed not I can't do anything about it. Damn the passwords. We have to remember to ask what it is when we call to make the reservations.

Well now it's morning and we slept next to the horse paddock. We thought this was the coolest thing and couldn't wait for Jacob to wake up. We just happened to have half a dozen apples and a bag of carrots in the fridge. How cool is that?? So at least the flickr pictures are completely updated now, set to public, but not titled yet. So go take another look and you'll just have to try to guess where we've been.

Here's a direct link to the "Cross Country" set I've been keeping. There are 651 viewable photos in there! At least 95% are public so go crazy.
