Comfort Inn Bozeman

We left Missoula around 10 o'clock today to head towards Bozeman. It was a nice relaxing drive though the Montana Rocky Mountains and "Charlie" did great! (Yes we named the van, ok so I named the van) <br><br>We Arrived in Bozeman around 2:00 and thought we would take in some education and visit the Museum of the Rockies. While trying to find our way we got stuck in a turn only lane ...

We spent a second day at Yellowstone Park, visiting the Mud Volcano and Sulphur Caldrons along the road from Fishing Bridge to Canyon Village. It was quite amazing to see large pools of mud boiling. There was a cave that seam and boiling water came out of with a loud noise called Dragon's Mouth Spring. There were some wonderful falls on the Yellowstone River in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. After having lunch in Canon Village we continued on to Norris and visited some of the geysers ...

We were a day early getting to our reserved spot at the Yellowstone North entrance so this site was recommended to us. It was a nice relaxing park right by the Yellowstone River. The river is swift flowing and not very deep. It seems like most of the people here flyfish and the current moves them swiftly north and I am not quite sure how they get back it seems like a heck of alot of rowing.<br><br>Didn't do much today but relax.

The immense open spaces of Montana are difficult to fathom for a girl accustomed the overdeveloped, densely populated East Coast and Florida flats. The expanse we traversed between Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park was impressive. Our southwestern departure from the park on Hwy. 2, then Hwy. 93, and finally I-90, took us through Kalispell (where we ...

We stopped in Bozeman just so I could see the place. It has changed a lot. I was happy to see the Western Cafe was still there, though disappointed we couldn't stop as it had a Closed sign out.<br><br>Went up Willson to campus, and everything looked so pretty. Mom and Dad dropped me off at the east end of the pedestrian mall and I walked to Montana Hall to order my transcripts ...

... back on the road to Leftbridge. Lisa has wee meltdown and wants to go home! Girls not to sad as they had spotted a hotel with TWO hyrdoslides coming out the side of it...we were obviously going to be staying there. My AH and I drunk a dozen Buds and decided, it was a huge learning experience and we now have invaluable advice to offer others wanting to do the same. We would in hindsight have traveled down to Seattle and bought our car then driven ...

... Ben thought it was a vision and I chalked it up to disappearing in the ether, likely it was hidden low behind a row of trees that we just missed because everything looks different on the return. Shrugging our shoulders we decided that this was the way and pressed further east landing in Billings at a Motel 6 where we learned that high wind warnings and gales up to 60 mph just had ripped through the area and snow was on it's way.

... vacation this year. I've planned 10 days of travel for us after our summer project is over in the end of June. We'll head to Split, Croatia then ferry it over to Italy...Rome, Siena (during the Palio horse races) Cinque Terre, and finally Venice where we'll catch our flight back to the U.S. Then hopefully we'll hit the Oregon coast with the in-laws before heading back to Bozeman to enjoy the best part of the year in Montana! Should be an adventure....stay tuned.
