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.

El Malpais National Monument - Joe Skeen Campground

Great dry camping site in western New Mexico. After World War II, the Bureau of Land Management became the administrator of the area. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan designated El Maloais a unit of the National Park Service. It is jointly managed with the nearby El Morro National Monument.

Wichita Falls - Texas

We enjoyed a brief stay at the city campground in Wichita Falls, Texas. Site #20. Electrical hookups, water, and a dump station are available for a reasonable price. We walked to Jason's Deli for dinner. The river that runs next to the park was extremely high. Check out THIS LINK FOR VIDEO Sentimental note; we pedaled through Wichita Falls back in 1985 on our cross country bicycle trip to San Diego, CA, from Tybee Island, GA. Pretty much had the park to ourselves
