  • Yellowstone trip

    Here’s the new truck and my trailer in all the different camping spots on this 8 day road trip. In Grant it snowed with a inch sticking June 21 2019 first day of summer. The snow started right after we setup. The solar system had a hard time for the first few days in Yellowstone. The new Ford Ranger did very well. I got a lot of new reference photos I think I’m going to use little more Sap Green.
