El Morro National Monument

While we were camped at the Joe Skeen campground, we visited El Morro, which is also located in western New Mexico and served as a stopping place for travelers through an arid and desolate region. Many of the travelers left signatures in the walls of the sandstone cliffs. There is a small pool of water at the base of the sandstone cliffs that served as an oasis for many travelers.

Leaving Yellowstone National Park

Leaving YNP was an adventure. There was snow and some ice on the ground, but there was no indication that any of the roads through the park were closed or particularly hazardous. I checked the YNP and the Wyoming DOT websites, and no road closings noted. In hindsight, I should have called the park hotline as well. Turns out that the south exit was indeed closed. After a 50 miles or so trip from north to south, we had to turn the rig around (quite the challenge) and back track some miles to find the west exit into Utah. Just thankful we made it safely out of the snow and ice. The truck really came through for us. Here is a VIDEO LINK of our drive through Yellowstone up to the point where we had to turn around.

Tree Hits Our Marietta House

A tree fell making contact with our house. Fortunately only slight damage done. A branch penetrated a wall.
