  • Mountain Meadow Wool Mill

    Buffalo, WY, July 2025 Last time we were in Buffalo, Wyoming, I wanted to visit the Mountain Meadow Wool Mill. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit because we were only in town for 5 nights and we didn’t have time. So, I had drag John to the mill along with the other errands of…

  • Bighorn National Forest (North)

    Burgess Junction, WY, July 2025 We stayed at Garryowen, MT because Kate wanted to drive the Northern Route through Bighorn National Forest on Route 14.

  • Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument

    Garryowen, MT, July 2025 So we are staying in the middle of nowhere, Montana near a (small? tiny? puny?) private town name Garryowen. Wikipedia and the 2010 Census claim that the population is 2.

  • Gull Point Drive Day 39: Part 2

    Yellowstone National Park, MT & WY, June 2025 Nez Perce Picnic Area A couple days ago we went to Nez Perce Picnic Area and saw a Great Blue Heron nest in the far distance. Today, we decided to use a pull off that was closer to the trees in which we saw the nest. (John…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 26

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 John needed to make calls and deal with problems related to selling his property in Oklahoma, so we could not make it out at a reasonable hour.

  • Jackson National Fish Hatchery Day 25: Part 2

    Jackson, WY, June 2025 I’ve never been to a fish hatchery. So, visiting the National Fish Hatchery in Jackson, WY would result in both learning about the fish hatchery and obtaining cancel stamps 🙂 From the Grand Teton National Park Day 25 – GlampingWithCats.com blog, this facility was working to preserve and maintain two fish.…
