Well today we hit the road again. We headed north along Highway 191 to Bozeman. This highway meanders in and out of the park and in and out of Wyomming and Montana. The scenery is spectacular but very different from Yellowstone itself. We felt like we were going downhill all day but in fact, we stayed at roughly the same height as our campground. Once we passed through Bozeman (a very unique town), we decended to Billings to our current campsite in Hardin MT.
Our campsite in Yellowstone...
The view from our back window of the trailer...
It is strange to know we drove for 6+ hours and yet we are only about 100 miles as the crow flies from where we started. The mountain scenery has given way to grassland and hills with a good portion of the land cultivated for hay (Alfalfa or Timithy), corn or sugar beets. There is a sugar beet processing plant in Billings where they made beet sugar.
What kinda day in Yellowstone would it be without seeing an Elk... nice size bull laying in the grass.
Tomorrow we start across country on the back roads so we are not sure when and where we will have internet. Take care and see you soon.
Love all the blogs --- I am so glad the two of you are having a great time in the West. Keep sharing.... Michele Wieringa
