Blue Sky Cabins Red Lodge

... than there were yesterday. The weather through the Rockies and the Cascades was pretty bad as we passed through the rest of Montana and Idaho into Washington. We didn't get as far as we'd hoped because there were several long stretches of road where we were limited to aroun 35mph. But we're in Washington now and we'll get up early and make it to Shelton in a couple hours.

... dat in NL...dus waarom niet he. Onderweg zagen we nog wat interessante reclame, allereerst de oranje poster voor 'Hunters Welcome' en nog een reclame voor Budweizer met een leuk dame (ik ben helemaal Budweizer liefhebber ;) ) Enfin, na deze korte shopping spree besloten we rond 11 uur EINDELIJK weer richting Cooke City te gaan, de dame in ons hotel heeft ons verteld dat het het mooist is om de noordoostelijke ingang te nemen, en dan het bovenste ...

... JAH hiked a little further. The trail was amazing! The water was rushing from the snow melt up in the Beartooth Mountains that we were in the foot of. When we were done climbing we hiked about 2 more miles and tripp and JAh jumped into the water, which was freezing cold. I wish I could have taken a picture of tripp's face when he came shooting back out of the water. I got some good climbing pics and one of tripp when he was fresh out of the water. THe land out here is ...

... It is a turquoise 1961 olds super 88 in mint condition and low miles...I just wish they would let us take it for a spin(please!!!) I posted some pics so chec them out. Tomorrow we dont know what we are doing but I think on thursday we are going to annie and drew's cabin deep in the mountains a few hours west of here. I cant wait to be away from civilization and face to face with mother nature.

Breathtaking is an over used word but is completely accurate here. This tiny little place just outside of Yellowstone is the perfect hideaway. The Montana Shakes Company preformed The Merry Wives of Windsor against this magnificent backdrop. My initial reason for ...

... it did most of last night. August 19 - Drove about 8 hours today, a long day. We stopped about 40 miles west of Casper, WY on BLM land (free). We drove on the Beartooth Pass Scenic Highway, which is a gorgeous area. If any of you get the chance you need to make that drive.

... a perfect description...and cold! We loved it!! Shortly after climbing around on Pilot Peak, we saw a sign "Open Range - Expect Cows on the Road." I can't wait to see cows on the road! And oh, by the way, cowgates are cool...I'm not sure why I find them to be so cool, I just do.

... up to the top of a mountain. They have tons of scenic overlook stops, it's absolutely gorgeous and amazing! About an hour ago we drove through Red Lodge, a very cool little town on 212. I would very HIGHLY recommend taking this to route to anyone driving from Billings area to Yellowstone...I'm sure other routes are pretty, but this is breathtaking. God it smells great out here!!

... they ran over something. I turn around and continue to read the sign and snack on my protein bar. Then I turn around to get back in the car, but it's farther away then I remember parking it. Can you hear the wheels start turning now? Yup, then it dawns on me, I forgot to put the break on and the Little Guy silently rolled back down the turn off area and, luckily, hit a parking curb.

Walking down to the ...

... it continues with the same pattern. Anyway, the magma resting beneath this park powers the mighty geysers and heats the fumeroles, hot springs and paint pots. The hot spring we visited released a foul, rotten egg odor caused by the emitted hydrogen sulfide gas and sulfur. When we finished our hot spring tour, we went to a nearby village to eat lunch, buy gifts, purchase souvenirs, stamp our National park passports, and visit the post office. We then drove to Mount ...
