Trailer Life


This is our home. A 36 foot 5th wheel trailer. If you find yourself living in Yellowstone this is the best way to do it. If we weren't living here we would be in a dorm. It's not that dorm living is awful, but there is a sense of freedom that comes from living in a trailer. We own our trailer. We live in a "neighborhood" in the summer and in the winter we have one neighbor who lives across the street from us and he is a friend.
When you live in a trailer in Yellowstone it is like living in a gated community. We get questions all of the time that are normal to us, maybe not to everyone though.
"You get to cook your own food?"
"You have a door between your living room and bedroom?"
"You have a washer and a dryer in your place?"
"You have a dog?"
If someone not working here actually heard these conversations they would think that they have come to a different world. I guess in a way they have.
I also want to point out that when we walk into our trailer in the summer it is three steps up to the door, and in these pictures there are no steps. It's been a great snow year and I hope it keeps on coming.

  1. My favorite thing about your trailer is that you call your bedroom "upstairs" when it is literally up two stairs. xoxo

  2. Hi Linda! I finally made it to your blog. Here's the great thing about blogging: "editing." If you ever say anything you regret, you just take it down. If someone puts up a nasty comment, you take it down.

    There's another thing about blogging: immediacy. Your thoughts go out to the world instantly, as do pictures and links.

    And then there is the experience - your writing will get better, you'll grow in confidence and it will be more and more fun.

    Keep 'em coming!

    Love
    Dad

  3. Hey Linda, I'm proud of you. Maybe we'll learn together. It's taken me a week to figure out how to add a comment. Looking forward to Grandma's 95th. See you then.
