This is going to be the shortest thing I'll ever write because I've got to leave today... I wish I wrote it a week ago when I actually had time, because as usual I have too much to say.
Anyway, I'm going to work in Yellowstone again, this time by myself, and in an older VW Camper instead of a car. More fun to live in, but more potential trouble on a long drive due to its age. So wish me luck, I think I really need it...
I'll try not to lose touch as I did last summer but the internet's a pain there... we'll just have to see. Anyway, gotta run.

The last year and a half
Hey again! This is me getting my journal caught up to my life as it's been an amazingly long time since my last real update here (December 2010)!
December 2010 thru early April 2011 I was spending time with my family & packing all my stuff up in preparation to move. No school & no job, how I miss it! Mid April 2011 I moved to Montana in the Toyota (I left the VW behind until I have a chance to move it to it's new home). I slept in the car along the way because I had to be thrifty, & because I really enjoy sleeping in painful positions. But having boxes stacked to the ceiling certainly hides you from view!
The plan was to move to Missoula, M
I'm back
Here's the basic rundown on what's been going on with me:
The drive up to Yellowstone was stressful because I didn't know the VW had 50 quirks that don't appear until you take it on a lonnnng drive, so I worried it was going to die enroute. Plus I accidentally ruined one of my coolant hoses by setting it on a moving belt (YAY!).
At Yellowstone I got my RV site :D so I got to live in my van. The only bad thing was, RV'ers don't get free internet! How did I survive? I don't know!
In some ways it was a better season than 2009, though overall I thought 2009 was more memorable and fun. I did manage to do some damage to the van's electric hook-u
10,000 miles
Hey guys, I'm back home in South Carolina. I didn't get to Alaska; winter came early for Canada this year, and the road in some places was icy enough to be impassable- so I turned around and headed south after sliding on ice three times. There was one area where I ditched my car, and while I was waiting to be towed, 4 or 5 others ditched themselves on the same patch of road... how's that for ice?!
I slept in the driver's seat of my car every night except one, where I slept in a tent and really regretted it. I stayed at approx. ten campgrounds on the whole trip, so I only paid $81 for 'lodging'. The rest of the nights, I mastered the art of s
The interesting road ahead
Sorry I haven't been online all the time like I used to be. XD~ Looks like the next two months hold more of the same... I'll still try to comment occasionally 'cuz I miss the online buddies. And the general fanning over Goemon stuffs. I know what my next 3 deviations'll be... two are already started.
So, I've been working two jobs the past while, earning overtime and also mucho dinero in the magical mountain place while feeling miserable for lack of free time. I don't regret this summer at all, though! Now Canyon Lodge is closed until next summer, and I've done my part to help with closing... I'm free at last! :dance:
