On the road again....

Its surprising knowing how many Subarus are in Colorado, how difficult it is to acquire a replacement alternator. All four auto parts stores in Glenwood Springs had to order one in with only a three day delay.




Jason felt that this was, mechanically, the easiest alternator he has ever replaced. After we got the new rebuilt shiny alternator and power searing belt, and Sandy had charged the battery we were back on the road again.

We turned north at Rifle and drove up to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area to stay at Firehole Camp Ground. Woke up to a bit of rain, while throwing on the rain fly we were treated to an early morning rainbow.



The beach was very pleasant, Jason pulled out his snorkel gear to check out the 2’ carp that were lazily swimming close to shore.

After relaxing at the beach we continued north to Half Moon Lake Camp Ground just outside of Pinedale, WY. We went for a day hike to Photographer’s Point in the Wind River Range. The next day we enjoyed another quality beach at Half Moon Lake.

In the evening we continued north on 191 along the Hoback and Snake Rivers. We navigated the swarms of tourists in Jackson, WY unscathed to find a popular dispersed camping location on the east side of Grand Teton National Park.
