Yellowstone Park. Montana and Wyoming
















We left our camp site in SD and headed to Montana. The weather is like outdoor airconditioning. Here are some photos of our trip driving the motorcoach. Maybe you can see through my eyes all of the surrounding sites. Montana had wide open area of grazing cows with deer and antelope grazing with them. This was on green rolling hills with snow covered mountains behind them. We went to Livingston Mt. which is north of the entrance to yellowstone. Yellowstone became a national park on March 1, 1887. It took us all day to drive through the park. We left with the temp of 65 and went 8,363 ft up the top to 38. It snowed on us and there was 6 ft of snow on the ground. We saw buffalo and the calves, prairie dog villages, (they chirp), mule deer, antelope, elk, turkeys,and coyotes. They just walk along the road. We also saw "Old Faithful" , a place on my list of things I wanted to see. It goes off every 90 min. We walked up and it went off. It lasted about 2 min. There were waterfalls, frozen lakes, and many hot springs steaming. I took a video of all of it and it is nice. We are leaving tomorrow to head to Great Falls.....still haven't seen any bear of moose yet. I practiced my fly fishing in Texas and am ready to catch some salmon..
