We had big plans for Yellowstone. We thought we’d make it completely around, hitting all the highlights. We thought we’d make it through the South entrance to visit the Grand Tetons. We thought we’d see some wildlife, including a bear. And we had visions of hiking and biking and picnicking. But, for us, four days was not enough.

One of our followers (thanks, Mom!) recently shared her experience with viewing the photos in our blogs. It was more cumbersome than I intended it to be. With a little bit of research, an add-on to a plug-in, and the aid of technical support with some settings, I have been able to convert all of the picture galleries into slideshows. Now, when you see a grouping of three or more photos in our blogs, you should be able to click on any one of them, it will enlarge, and then it will either automatically slide through the rest of the photos or you can click on the arrows to manually slide through them.

If you notice anything with our website or blogs that would make your experience more user friendly, please feel free to contact me (rivetingjourney@gmail.com)! Just remember that I’m not a professional website developer, but I enjoy the challenge of trying to solve problems. Sometimes I succeed; sometimes I don’t (it might be above my pay grade!).

Thank you for following along on our full-time RV travels. New posts are coming soon ~ hopefully, Yellowstone in a few days with Olympic National Park in a week or two!

I love scenic byways. They promise to share interesting drives and breathtaking views. Beartooth Highway and Chief Joseph Scenic Byway do not disappoint.

Dirt roads. Wineries. Corn Palace. Sunflowers. Dignity. Cowboys and Indians. Rodeos. Monuments. Bikers. Old friends. Breweries and bison.

South Dakota has gems hidden in plain sight—just get off the highway to find them.

Who would have known that in the smack-dab middle of Wisconsin, about an hour above Madison, would be the “waterpark capital of the world?” We had no idea when we reserved our RV resort for this area. We considered it just another stop on the way West, allowing us to place the Wisconsin sticker on our map for having stayed in the state. It was also a good location and good timing for our daughter, Rachel, to fly up and visit us for a few days before she started graduate school.
