Livin' Part of Life

Wednesday 6/26 recap The morning came early again today as we were heading back down to Grand Teton on this last day of our combined journey with Wes and Erin. We hoped to (finally) see a moose, and just wanted to take in more GT beauty. Oh, and there was this brewery in town… Erin… Read more

Tuesday 6/25 recap We all decided that the last couple days of our travels should focus on Grand Teton National Park, which is 20ish miles south of Yellowstone. I, for one, have been so excited to spend some quality time in this park, and today really was just Grand. An interesting fact is that they… Read more

Monday 6/24 recap. Today was one we had been looking forward to for a long time. We had booked a 1-hour helicopter tour of of West Yellowstone for what we thought would be a sightseeing flight over Yellowstone National Park. Turns out, we were mistaken. Regardless (irregardless, if you’re a fan of bad grammar and… Read more

We are safely at our next destination, which is right in the middle of the Yellowstone National Park. It is unique in that we have full hookups (water, sewer, electric). We are in a fantastic location to now experience the Southern part of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National park over the next few days. We… Read more

Today was our shortest day in Yellowstone so far. But it was spectacular. Last night, we rolled back into our campsite after 11:00pm Mountain Time. Because of our late night, we decided to get a later start today, and to do a hike in the Lamar Valley. That was music to our (retired) ears! Wes… Read more

Today’s adventures started outside of Yellowstone National Park. We took the scenic route over to the adorable town of Red Lodge, MT. First stop was Red Lodge Ales for flights and seriously delicious lunch, then shopped in town for a bit. The ride up was a bit cloudy but we knew enough to realize that… Read more

Our second day in Yellowstone was very different than our first, but every bit as amazing. Today’s plan was to continue our exploration of the northern side of the park, making our way first south to about the midpoint and then work east to Lake Yellowstone. This route would take us past a number of… Read more

I’m feeling a bit speechless about today. I don’t think that words or pictures will do it justice. The best I can say is that I already have a new favorite National Park, and apparently we’ve barely scratched the surface. But our first day in Yellowstone National Park was one that I will always treasure.… Read more

After 5 days on the road, we reached our first “long-term” location – Yellowstone’s Edge RV Park in Montana. We are a about 35 miles north of the Northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park, and our ultimate destination on this trip. Unlike the last 2 days, today’s drive was relatively short (only about 4 hours).… Read more

We are safely at a lovely KOA in Miles City, MT. This is our home state for multiple days, although tonight is just a MT warmup. There are great things to come after today!! Our friends are road warriors and aren’t far behind us, so we will meet up with them tomorrow (likely close to… Read more
