Another great day! We left Dick and Sidne’s place around 9:00 AM and headed to Red Lodge to do some grocery shopping, fill our water tanks and empty our holding tanks. We finally hit the road about 10:00 AM headed towards Yellowstone National Park.
We drove over the Beartooth Highway and the scenery was gorgeous. We had temperatures ranging from a high of 69 to a low of 42 but the sun shone the whole time. The Aspen have started to change to a golden color and when mixed in with the green of the pine trees it was very striking. We took our time and drove about 35 MPH… you couldn’t go much faster as some of the switch-backs were so sharp we could only go 15 MPH. We saw some Bison and an Elk cow and probably could have seen more if we wanted to stop which was difficult with the trailer. We will drive around the next week in order to see more animals.
We also stopped at some hot-springs called Beryl Spring. It is really interesting to see the water bubble and the steam raise up. Of course there is also a very strong smell of sulfur in the air which we could have done without.Next it was on to our campsite in Madison Jct. which, has a very nice campground with lots of spaces but not too close to each other. It is also conveniently located so we can travel to all the areas in search of wild-life and Old Faithful.
