Trucks and Trains and Moonlight, oh my!

The Shoshone RV Park at the Shell Station is a cute little place with a few tall trees and power and water hookups but no other facilities. It will be adequate for what we need tonight.  It is for self-contained outfits. They allow us stay the night and use the station restrooms. Of course, the station is closing up in an hour, so we have to stay ‘self’ contained until they open again in the morning! The park is small with only a couple of rows of campsites and only six or so other outfits. We choose a cozy spot with tall trees in between a couple units that look ‘fulltime’.  The moon is bright and we are hoping for some ‘shade’ from the trees and our neighbor’s tall RVs.

We are just south across the mainline railroad tracks that run through the middle of Shoshone.  The first train blasts through sounding like it is coming right through camp! But after a few more, we tune them out. And manage to fall asleep, unaware of how many actually passed through during the night. What disturbs us more, are the semi trucks on the frontage road entering to and from the highway all night.  They are even closer and a whole lot noisier than the trains!
