Think about the outcome you want and only that will happen.” So I did invision the outcome and it calmed me down so I could fall asleep. There's nothing to be fearful of – all is well.

When she tells me to turn, right, and I keep on going, I'll say something like, “Thank you, but I think I'll go this way.” Of course that's my polite voice. I've even begun talking to the navigation lady on my GPS. I've talked to myself for years, so I'm already there.

So I decided to have a chat with myself. There was one point where I thought I might just leave and go to the gas station several miles down and just camp there, but my chair was outside and that would mean I'd have to go outside in the dark and pack it up.

I had scoped out a few spots and headed out to survey my findings.

Unfortunately I was not able to see the Upper or Lower Mesa Falls due to the holiday weekend crowd and nowhere to park my big ole RV. Leave it to the romanic French to come up with such a glorious name that we still use today. I could see the Teton mountains in the distance, named from early French trappers called Les Trois Teton, which means the three breasts. Mesa Falls Scenic BywayĪ quick drive North to Ashton, Idaho would begin the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway and #4 of 300 on my quest to complete the National Geographic's 300 Scenic Highways and Byways. They were traveling from The Bay area of California and they too were traveling East to Yellowstone National Park for some adventorous fun.
