We're now in northern Idaho, having spent the last few weeks in Montana, with side trips into Wyoming. During this time, we got to tour Yellowstone NP, camp & tour in the Grand Tetons and many other sites. Cody, WY was a neat old cowboy town and chow was great. We darn near got boots, a hat, & spurs, but quickly came to our senses. ( It's called NO JOB ! )
We've seen some absolutely breathtaking scenery and a huge assortment of wildlife. Joan was ecstatic when she COULD have reached out and touched a buffalo ( she wisely decided not to ) and there've been elk, antelope, wolf, and some bear. At one camp, they posted a grizzly warning and am happy to report we avoided being a bear buffet.
We've had some fantastic drives, among them a route called the Beartooth Pass, with elevations surpassing 10,000 ft. We actually felt like we were on top of the world. Another road was called the Chief Joseph Highway, taken by the Nez Perz tribe in attemting to escape federal troops that were chasing them. We were in awe of what we were passing thru. Words cannot properly describe the beauty of this land.
One of our most memorable experiences was visiting Little Big Horn battlefield ( Custer's downfall ). To be present at such an historial place was quite moving. We were lucky to get there at a great time with fewer visitors around. Very cool....
Am happy to report that vehicles are behaving, Conrad's trooping along nicely, and we're eating quite well on &5.75/day ! Well, maybe just a bit more. Anyhoo, Joannie has not yet left me, and we're kinda likin' this life on the road thing. Who knows what the future holds?
Our next step will carry us into Washington state. More on that later. Will post again soon !
