Yellowstone - Pictures from May 24th and 25th

Yellowstone - Friday morning (May 25th) I've decided to spend five days in Yellowstone. The Madison Hotel is only $23 per night for a hostel room (see pictures). Also, I need to wait to get to Helena until Tuesday when I can pick up the engine cover for my car and get an oil change at the dealership. It's snowing like crazy again and this is the day I decided to get up at 4:30 to drive into Yellowstone and see the sunrise - ha! With plenty of time and not much to see, I went on to Lake Villag...

5 States and a Flaming Gorge

This was a long day. 700+ miles and none of it on a freeway. Started in Edwards, CO and went north to Steamboat Springs, then west to Utah. Visited the Dinosaur National Monument, and then traveled northwest to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. Beautiful ride. While in Utah, got stopped by Moffat County Deputy Sheriff Jeremy Hinkle while doing 80 in a 65 zone. He took mercy on me and let me go with a warning. It was a desolate stretch of road. Even 80 seemed slow. I was distracted getti...

A stroll in the park

So I left Buffalo WY in sun and a balmy 57F going on Rte 16 thru Ten Sleep and Cody to Yellowstone NP. I am excited heading up into the mountains and, hmm, yes, getting colder. Never mind, the layers are good and I'll just adjust the air deflectors so my legs are warmed up by the V-Twin.

What's the temp? 50 and dropping. The lowest was 40F (sometimes you don't really want to know what the temp sensor says). So I decided it was time to use the heated grips. OOOH, toasty. And finally ma...

Off to Mammoth

I did stay another night, not that it could possibly let me see a park this immense, but I decided to go north to Mammoth Hot Springs. Now it could have been a relatively short ride, however the road through Norris is under construction so guess what? I need to drive back around the Loop Rd and remember we're driving 25, 35 or 45 mph depending on the area and the animal population. Temps stayed in the 60s riding at elevation although the morning was of course around 56 - 58F.
Needless to s...

Yellowstone National Park

Der absolute Hammer...auch unser zweiter, dritter und vierter Tag im Yellowstone waren traumhaft, unbeschreiblich, spannend und dieses Mal hat sogar das Wetter mitgespielt. Wir haetten locker 1000 Fotos machen koennen, haben uns aber auf 200 beschraenkt :-) Wir haben Hunderte von Bisons (Amerikanische Bueffel), unzaehlige Elche, ca. 10 Koyoten, Springboecke, Gaense, Voegel, Squirrels, etc. gesehen. Die Elche hier sehen zwar eher wie grosse Hirsche aus, aber ...

KOA to Rustic Wagon RV - Our trip thru Yellowstone

... West Yellowstone &#8211; we stopped every couple of miles to take a photo of another astounding view&#8230;the lake, the bluffs, the thermals, everything. It was amazing to be driving down the road, and spot our first thermal&#8230;we got out and held our hand above the water, and yep, it&#8217;s warm alright. CO had a good time educating us on the fact that YNP is home to one of the largest volcanic calderas and that it is hypothesized that ...

We're not lost!

... full time American rvers who have sold up face the same problems, but they also loose the right to vote as they have no physical residential address! It's something that the RVing community, which incidentally has huge political clout over here, is lobbying to change. I know from following news at home that post is a bit of a sore point at the moment, post here at this campsite arrives at a bout 5pm when the manager goes into town to ...

Day of Maintenance and a Courtesy Ticket

... down the road again about 2:30 I headed south on 89 towards Yellowstone which I was hoping to see tomorrow. I reached Gardiner but turned around and retrace my path back along the Yellowstone River until I found a good stopping place. I had additional car stuff to do. I took my tape player apart and cleaned the sprockets, then I fooled around with the antenna, which I kept hidden so it wouldn't look like a had a stereo. The ...
