Feeling at Home While in the Wild

Holiday and Travel
When I was younger, my family went on a vacation in our motorhome with friends visiting from Australia. They called it a caravan, we called it an RV or motorhome. Same thing! We'd looked at motorhomes to rent and found one suitable for our trip.
We decided to visit Yellowstone National Park because we thought the Australians mustn't miss such an amazing place. It sure was amazing. We drove from one side of the park to the other. The most exciting part of the trip was making it to the continental divide. It was an interesting feeling to be comfortable in our motor home while looking at all this rugged wilderness. I was amazed. I didn't leave the seat by the window almost the whole trip there. I loved it. The crazy part was when we went to camp at night. Up on the continental divide, there are a lot of coyotes and they are very active at night. We listened to their screeches and howls while sipping tea and staying warm. This was like camping, but it wasn't! It was a real trip for me. After the night, we drove down, stopping often and exploring. It was nice to not worry about getting food, stopping at the restrooms, or the need to find a campsite. The friends loved it and thought about doing the same thing in Australia one day. We had a great time.
