for Devil's Tower. That didn't happen. We're experiencing our first
Vanagon stranding. But as my friend Scott who has been helping me
remotely said, there are worse places we could be stuck.
Scott and other Vanagon owners diagnosed the problem from my
description of the symptoms: a failing CV joint. There are mechanics
here at Grant Village. I ordered the parts this morning for overnight
delivery and we should be on the road again by Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning.
It was showery and cold our first two days. We had steady rain the
first night. We watched Old Faithful yesterday in a windy drizzle
Today it is mostly sunny and high 50s.
We'll obviously have to modify our plan. We might just make a big 3-
day push to Chicago on I-90 and miss out on Nebraska and Iowa.
The photo is at West Thumb Geyser Park on Yellowstone Lake.

There are far worse places to be stranded! Hope you can visit the Lodge - I was blown away by the lodge when I was a little kid. Later I decided I must have been overawed due to youth. Then I visited it again as an adult and.... nope, still pretty awesome.
Of course, the lodge can't really compete with it's surroundings.
By the way, is the fire damage pretty visible still?

You mean the Old Faithful Inn? Yup, pretty amazing. I really wanted to go up in the Crow's Nest built up in the rafters, but it's been closed to the public for decades.
