Theodore Roosevelt National Park
We spent the night in Medora last night and before heading out on our way to Bozeman we decided to take a very brief trip into Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We only had a couple of hours so we skimmed the high points hitting. We made the drive on the Scenic Loop with stops at Wind Canyon, Boicourt Overlook, and Buck Hill. We also made a stop at the Prairie Dog town. It was gorgeous scenery and we had a great time checking out the short trails.

RV Learning: Mind the Main Power Switch!
We’ve had our first mis-hap of our Yellowstone Road Trip and we haven’t even left the driveway yet!
Last night a big downpour came through and I left the windows open in the RV. I woke up and was worried things would be soaked inside. But, that really wasn’t a problem. The side windows didn’t let in any rain, they just slant out and don’t really open up. However, some rain did come in through the top vents which I had left open. But not a lot, and a quick paper towel was able to wipe it all up.
The bigger issue was last night I asked Mazie to turn the lights off. Which she did, I saw them go off. However, I didn’t consider that how she turned them off was to turned the main power for the RV off! So everything was off, including the refrigerator, which we had loaded just a couple of hours earlier.
So, this morning when I couldn’t get anything to turn on I thought it was maybe a tripped breaker. But then I looked at the main power switch and noticed the red light was off. Uh oh…
We are adding a quick trip to the grocery store before we hit the road… 🛒😬
Yellowstone Log: Day 0, Friday
- Picked up the RV from Hilltop Rental.
- Loaded it with a bunch of stuff, half of which I’m guessing we won’t use. I suspect forgetting several important things too. 😬
Just picked up our 2020 Jayco Redhawk 22J from Hilltop Campers. We are getting it packed for our two week road trip to Yellowstone National Park! 🛣
