We arrived here yesterday. Internet is very slow and no tv, that might kill grandpa. Nonetheless, the vacation moves on. We traveled most of the day after a breakfast nest Devil’ Tower. The boys and I walked Mickelson Trail to stretch the legs. Pretty flat one. No bears, thank goodness. In fact, the owner laughed …

Hill City, SD
This morning, we leave for Hill City. Lucky for us (sarcasm included) the Sturgis biker event starts this Friday not far from where we will be. Bikers, bikers, everywhere. We may need to get ourselves some biker gear to blend in…does anyone have a Harley available? We spent our last night at a small town …
Devil’s Tower
Today, we visited Devil’s Tower. Our RV park overlooks it. Looming presence throughout the area. We hiked up the trail for 1.3 mikes, up and down various hills. It was a pretty walk We watched several climbers scaling the tower. We caught one on his way back. It took him 2 1/2 hours to do …
Little Bighorn
On the way to Devil’s Tower, we stopped at this national monument. At first, I think we were all a little complacent about visiting. We milled through the visitor center and then headed outdoors and ran into an invigorating park ranger. He gave a 10 minute talk about what happened at the site. But what …
Travel Day
Goodbye Yellowstone Yesterday was a travel day, not much of anything exciting to report. We headed to Hardin, Montana. Pretty cool to pass through Billings and Bozeman. At Bozeman, we stopped for lunch and hit the Target up for groceries. It was packed. We did pass through Gallatin National Forest, which was very pretty. A …
Final Day
Yesterday was our final day in Yellowstone. We started our day in a long line to Madison, we’re pretty sure it was our usual suspect, Bob…but unfortunately we didn’t get a view. But nonetheless, we think it is safe to say Oh Bob, must you. First we headed to Obsidian Cliff, where the rocks glistened. …
Yellowstone Lake
This morning we made our way to the lake. But not before running into both Bob and Tommy, blocking traffic. Oh Bob, must you. After an hour delay, we headed to the lake. It was a rainy, cooler day, but luckily we missed the rain. The lake did not disappoint and the cloudy skies added …
Norris Geyser
Today, we went to the Norris Geyser Basin. This area is one of the most active and studied part of Yellowstone. Sadly, the Steamboat Geyser, which can erupt from 4 days to 50 years did not erupt. That happened 19 days ago, but it was pretty cool to see. In other news, Mom Mom got …
Lamar Valley
Yesterday, the early crew woke up to make our way to the Lamar Valley to see wildlife. We made a pit stop at Mammoth for the restrooms, where we saw elk milling around. We then headed to Lamar, which did not disappoint. We got to see bison up close and personal. Sun rising in the …
Yellowstone: The Grand Canyon
This one was on my bucket list and did not disappoint. Beauty and raging power everywhere. We started on the lower rim. The view was amazing, especially Artist Point. Oh the views. They are hard to describe, God’s paint brush. And we got pictures of the men and women of Yellowstone. Not a bad looking …
