As usual (when I get this wild hair up my ass to kick rocks), I was trolling Kayak for a few days, trying to pick my next destination.

Sadly, I was (am) kind of screwed in the sense I cannot leave the country: my second passport was recently stolen (out of and along with my work truck), so my options – limited!

I ran across some round trip tickets to Idaho Falls for a Friday- Monday in July for $89 (includes tax)! Idaho Falls happens to be about a two hour drive from Yellowstone, which I’ve been seriously wanting to visit before it blows up ^{_{[my dad is NOT a conspiracy theorists at all lol]}}.

So I of course impulsively bought the tickets and then rented a 2022 Ford Bronco from Turo for the trip, which I unlawfully plan to sleep in. It was about $270 for the entire trip and they drop off at the airport – Not bad!!

After Googling the important shit, regarding Yellowstone specifically, I decided to F**** bear spray and order a TSA approved gun case (mush better protection), bought a fishing license (foods expensive AF there), ordered a hydration backpack (which I’m hoping to house vodka in), and went on an “old lady/Birkenstock/tree hugger” type shopping spree for new attire at Columbia.

I am now a an official Mountain Man… woman… person-thing……!

Stay tuned for the story (most likely a manual of “what not to do in Yellowstone”).
