We got our first big storm last night as we camped in Idaho and found out that the tents leak a little. Our bodies were dry, but our stuff was wet. Not long after hitting the road, the right wheel started feeling funny. With some scrutiny we found the culprit: one of the five bolts that hold the wheel on had snapped. Three of the remaining four were loose…Tightening the bolts, we carried on to find the nearest garage to get the problem fixed, but not before losing the hubcap driving over a bridge. The garage didn’t have the right sized bolt we needed so we were stuck in Missoula, MT for a while. To remedy the whole situation, we walked over to the local IHOP, got Splashberries and Big Country Combos, and ate ourselves silly (as our excuse, we couldn’t get into the van to make our lunch! We were starving!). It rained heavily for the majority of the remaining drive.
By the time the van was done and we got to Yellowstone it was pretty late. We were able to see a few things and get some pictures before searching for the only open campground which was full by the time we got there. It was another parking lot for us this evening.
