  • 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. The building in town is a combination of the city hall, museum, and convenience store. We have not been there, so…

  • Relaxing during the Heat Wave

    7th Ranch RV Camp, MT, July 2025 When we were Yellowstone, the hottest day was maybe 80 F and that was probably only 1 day. Most nights were in the 30s or less. We did have a few in the 40s. Ever since then, the temperature has been a minimum of 80s during the day…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 37

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 This was a very long day. We left at 8 am and did not make it back home until after 8 pm. We immediately grabbed our shower gear and left again. Finally, we were back in the trailer for the night around 9 pm which would 10 pm central…

  • Gull Point Drive Day 39: Part 2

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 It seems like any edge of Yellowstone Lake that is not perfectly round has a name. If the lake bumps out, it is a bay. If the land bumps out, it is a point. Just past Bridge Bay Campground is a two mile stretch of road called Gull Point…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 38

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Yes, we can count; we skipped over day 37. John did some reading on the Canon R7 to change settings to improve the focus. There are three shutter settings – mechanical, electronic first curtain, and electronic. That list goes from slowest to fastest, noisiest to quietest, and most vibration…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 34

    Yellowstone National Park, WY & MT, June 2025 Today’s original plan was to get up at 7 am and go wolf spotting in Hayden Valley. Kate woke up at 6:45 am and saw that it was going to rain. The plan changed and we decided to sleep in instead. At 8 am, we got up…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 30

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We found out that the Natural Bridge Trail was open. They close it in the spring because Bridge Creek has spawning trout that attract bears. Sadly, this means that we missed the spawning trout. We used the trail at Bridge Bay Campground. The trail starts as packed dirt, but…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 29

    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 28

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Today was a recovery and catch up day. We got the blog up to date. We relaxed. We went owl hunting. The only thing I can say about our owl hunting is that owls are in no fear of becoming endangered due to our efforts. There were owls reported…

  • Happy Father’s Day!

    June 15, 2025 I know every kid says this, but you are the best Dad!! Thanks for always believing in us. We may not have enjoyed all the adventures we had as a kid. We did enjoy watching our pregnant aunt risk her life chasing a bear to get a picture of it three mountains…
