After the rain yesterday afternoon this morning looks a little wetter. It is incredibly dry here. Part of the park is an Elk Preserve and they should almost be in rut by now.  We usually see herds of them but haven’t spotted anything yet on this trip. Is it too warm/ dry and they haven’tContinue reading “Day 18 | Tetons, NP day 2”

We left our unit at 8 am in search of something to photograph.  Just around the corner, still in the village we found a moose cow and calf feeding. I thought I had a deer problem at home. I can’t imagine having moose in my backyard. Photos of mom and baby in my camera. TheyContinue reading “Day 17 | Grand Tetons, NP”

Today we are meeting our travel buddies in Jackson, WY for a week of photography. We have rental units in Wilson, WY and West Yellowstone. We will be using another vehicle so the van will be parked except for the one transition day.  Temps at night are below freezing so we spent an hour thisContinue reading “Day 16 | Wapiti campground to Jackson, WY via Yellowstone and Grand Tetons NPS”

Okay.. these magnificent views from our ‘bedroom’ window continue. This morning we had a beautiful sunrise… no getting up before dawn to chase sunrise miles. Magpies and starlings are early morning feeders. We have decided to go back to the Buffalo Bill Centre of the West in Cody and view the raptors. Entry allows twoContinue reading “Day 15 | Cody, WY to Shoshone National Forest”

I have to admit, I love waking up to these beautiful mornings. Brian took a photo of the ponderosa pines from the bed! This is day 14.. almost halfway through the whole trip and I am taking stock of what we brought from home and still have or not… silly things like toilet paper, paperContinue reading “Day 14 | Sibley Lake, WY to Cody, WY”

Another gorgeous morning but very cool. The egg bites were delicious for breakfast. I will add these to my camping meals repertoire. Our campsite is right at the entrance to the Devils tower national monument with a beautiful view of it this morning. The movie ‘Close encounters of a third kind’ was filmed here. TheyContinue reading “Day 13 | Devils tower to Sibley Lake”

We wondered last night when the wind came up in the evening if there would be a change in the weather. We woke to an early morning thunderstorm and much cooler, cloudier weather along with wet chairs etc. We haven’t had to worry about rain so far on this trip. The cooler weather is welcomeContinue reading “Day 12 | Custer SD to Devils Tower Monument, WY”

Another gorgeous morning. The heat wave seems to have broken. More rearranging of the camper for the next part of the trip and laundry. A group of our fellow neighbors gathered at one unit to watch virtual church services… one thing Covid-19 has offered up. People can attend services wherever they are and it’s aContinue reading “Day 11 | Mount Rushmore”

We spent a little time this morning rearranging things after 10 days out. Now we know what we use the most that need easier access. We have also decreased the amount of food we are carrying having eaten a lot of what we brought from home. The freezer only has homemade bread dough in itContinue reading “Day 10 | Custer SD and surroundings”

Today started off as a repeat of yesterday, running the Badlands loop again, breakfast at the same beautiful location and photos of more prairie dogs and bison. It is very hot (anywhere between 90 F and 100 F) and the air quality has changed for the worse as the wind has gone down. Heat hazeContinue reading “Day 9| Badlands NP to Custer, SD”
