We slept last night with the back doors open. Unusually, the temperature didn’t drop with sunset as has been the case so far. Rain is predicted here for later in the day… badly needed. As we traveled south east towards Bismarck we passed at least two electric power producing facilities. Coupled with the oil drillingContinue reading “Day 28 |Stanton, ND to Glyndon, MN and Buffalo River state park”

Day 27 | Medora, ND to Stanton, ND
We left camp early today as we have revised our travel plans somewhat. We had originally planned to try to get a campsite in the North Unit of TRNP but decided just to drive the loop and then head cross country to see the Knife River Indian Village and find something closer to Bismark. AfterContinue reading “Day 27 | Medora, ND to Stanton, ND”
Day 26 | Theodore Roosevelt NP, South unit
We won’t have network for most of the day so I want to start today’s blog while I still have a network. Then I can add to it as the day goes on. We decided to have breakfast in the park again. The beauty of carrying your house around with you is that you alsoContinue reading “Day 26 | Theodore Roosevelt NP, South unit”
Day 25 | Billings, MT to Medora, ND and Theodore Roosevelt NP
Gorgeous morning # 25. They really need rain here. Last night’s campground was one of the nicest private sites we have had on the trip. It was in Billings but on the Yellowstone River and 5 minutes from I 90. For the next 4 days we will be in state and NP sites. We haveContinue reading “Day 25 | Billings, MT to Medora, ND and Theodore Roosevelt NP”
Day 24 | Bozeman, MT to Billings, MT
I don’t know if I can take any more of these beautiful mornings. They are almost too good to be true. We had a leisurely get up since we don’t have to beat the crowds into the park and we don’t have far to go today. Breakfast was half of the egg bites I bakedContinue reading “Day 24 | Bozeman, MT to Billings, MT”
Day 23 | West Yellowstone to Bozeman
This will be a short posting and no photos unless there is a decent sunset from our campsite outside of Bozeman, MT. We packed up from spending a few days in our rental unit with our friends and bid them a tearful farewell and safe journey home. The drive from West Yellowstone to Bozeman wasContinue reading “Day 23 | West Yellowstone to Bozeman”
Day 22 | Yellowstone, NP
Out early again to get into the park before the gate lineups start. Not as spectacular a morning without the frost. We are going to run the Lamar Valley again today. Hopefully we can get some landscape shots. I have given up on the animals. I will be quite happy with scenery. We stopped inContinue reading “Day 22 | Yellowstone, NP”
Day 21 | Yellowstone, NP
Out early this morning to beat the lineup at the West Gate. Pretty sunrise and a full moon. 7:03 and we are in the park! Hoping that this early we will see elk! (Later note… no elk). Today we are running the Hayden Valley between Canyon Village and Fishing Bridge. The early morning cold andContinue reading “Day 21 | Yellowstone, NP”
Day 20 | Yellowstone, NP
It’s hard to believe that just a week ago I was complaining about the 100F heat. This morning in West Yellowstone it is a foggy 32F with frost. Winter clothes have replaced summer clothes. We are out in search of those elusive mysterious animals that are usually in great abundance. West Yellowstone is right atContinue reading “Day 20 | Yellowstone, NP”
Day 19 | Tetons to Yellowstone
Yesterday’s rain gave us snow on the mountains. It is cold and clear this morning. Hopefully I can get better views as we drive today. We move today from our shared unit with friends to West Yellowstone traveling in caravan. We have 4 nights there together as well. A stop at Jackson Lake dam showedContinue reading “Day 19 | Tetons to Yellowstone”
