Due to snow at higher elevations my campground was changed to Ranger Campground on Shell Creek. I like it quite a bit and will be there until June 14th. Shell Creek is about 50 feet behind my campsite. This morning I took a drive to Greybull Wyoming to get a cell signal and pick up a few things. It’s a beautiful drive along Shell Canyon. Rivers, streams, and creeks are too high now to fish. Shell Creek is a raging small river.

Made it to Sheridan, Wyoming. Wednesday after camping at Adrian MN I turned my trailer’s water pump on and water started spraying from the back of my toilet. Two days later I installed a new toilet which I purchased from Camping World in Rapid City SD. They had one in stock. I got a call from the National Forest Service A nice lady told me my campground got 30 inches of snow Monday and I won’t be able to camp there for 4 or 5 days. She said I can camp at Shell Creek Campground which is on the other side of the Bighorns. That’s where I’m heading now.

Someone asked if there is a sitting area in my trailer. There is a sofa that can be folded down into a small bed. There is an unattached table that came with my trailer. It’s in my condo storage room. It is heavy and was in the way. I use a TV tray which saves a lot of room. I take a Blu-Ray player and about 30 or 40 dvds. I installed a pure sine wave inverter in my trailer so I have alternating current for my tv and Blu-Ray player when I don’t have shore power.

In front of the rear row is spare propane tank, wading boots, etc..

It’s less than a month until my 100 day Big Horn Mountains/National Forest trip. I have many flies to tie, leaders to tie, and trailer and truck preparations so I will probably not do any painting until June when I’m in Wyoming.

Visited Kennedy Space Center today with my brother-in-law John.

Today there were three different rockets on launch pads, the Artemis Moon Rocket, a SpaceX Rocket that will take satellites into space tomorrow, and a SpaceX Rocket that will launch 4 people into space on Saturday. We could see them in the distance but couldn’t get any closer.

Massive Assembly Building. The doors are the largest doors in the world.

Redstone Rocket that took Allen Shepherd into space. For me it was surprisingly small.

Got my painting back from Michael’s. They did a great job. If you have an account there you regularly get emails advertising 70% off custom frames. This was just over $100 for an 18″ x 18″ painting.
