Our early departure caused a few complications -- Sue Horne, another good friend, was planning to come visit us starting the 22nd, but we weren't entirely sure where we would be, so she agreed to delay her arrival by one day. We decided to move to Colter Bay for a night. That would get us out of Yellowstone and into full hookups, so we could recharge our batteries as well as run our electric heaters to dry the trailer our some. One big disadvantage of running the propane heater constantly is that is produces a lot of water vapor [C3H8 + 5(O2) -> 3(CO2) + 4(H2O)]. After Lewis Lake, the humidity in our trailer was probably over 90%, which we suspect added to the gloomy feeling. The sky was clear & the sun was out the next morning, and we felt almost human.
