update!

Hello everyone,

Sorry we left you hanging in Montana. No excuses, just, you know, life.

So, here we are hanging in Vancouver, literally!

Montana

This mom and babe were in our national forest campground just off a rest stop from the main highway. The fawn was more concerned about us than it's mother was.

Yellowstone National Park

We spent 2 days here.
The campgrounds were all full so we ended up driving through on the first day and finding an awesome forest campground, with power, just 3 miles from the west entrance on the Montana side.

It was pretty nice driving through Yellowstone in the bus. We had great views of the buffalo and even saw a moose and her calf, although we were too big to stop anywhere in our ensemble. When you hit slow moving traffic in the park you know there's wildlife to see up ahead so get your camera ready. I'm not sure how 'wild' those bison were though they often hung out right by the road. We saw one threaten a vehicle by shaking and lowering it's head a foot away, they drove on! We were next in line in our tiny little car so we didn't try to photograph the cranky beast.

We visited Old Faithful, which really does go off when they say it will, about every 90 minutes. There are many steaming places in the park, very cool.

Backtrack...

Six Flags, St. Louis, Missouri:D

Forgot about this picture! We went here on July 12th.

Theme parks are fun but you can have your fill of them quickly. We love the lazy rivers, wave pools and short lineups (which are hard to find). Kyra says Upper Clements rocks!:P

Buffalo Bill State Park

Yes, that's really the name of the park.
It's about 30 miles east of Yellowstone near Cody, Wyoming. It was a welcome relief to find this nice park at the bottom of Sheep Mountain after contemplating a stay in the Walmart parking lot in Cody where apparently up to 200 rv's converge in the evenings. Instead we enjoyed lovely burgers cooked over an open fire and a pug in a pink sweater strolling by.
The woodpecker visited us in the morning.

Bighorn National Forest

We really enjoyed the scenery and the cool air of the Bighorn Mountains in Northern Wyoming. There were several forest campgrounds and lots of wildlife, including moose.
Our motorhome performed very well up and down the mountains, even with a car in tow.
Check out these deer in action!

Wyoming

Big sky and wide open spaces!
We stayed at Keystone State Park on the Keyhole Reservoir in eastern Wyoming. We had the playground in our back yard and a mountain bluebird visited us.
