Leaving the campground a day early. It’s very loud and chaotic here. A boy across the way talked and screamed all night long. Ed doesn’t normally get very bothered by neighbors but he was packing up his tent already before I woke up.

However I did hear wolves at 4:48am. 😍

As we were packing up to leave, the aforementioned boy managed to discharge a bear spray canister inside their car in his own face. Quite a bit of drama as everyone is donating water to splash on his face.

Heading back towards Cody and Wapiti. Wapiti and the Buffalo Bill Reservoir area are among the most beautiful places on earth I have seen with my own eyes. At this moment we are taking a long break to watch a grizzly bear mother and cub down in a valley. Local guides here say she is “Raspberry” and I guess the cub is “Deli”.

Ed originally had this big plan to head back home through Idaho but I wasn’t quite up to dramatic ordeal of off-roading that entailed. We were able to get completely last minute campsites for two more nights back at Yellowstone before we begin the scenic adventure homeward.

Shopped in West Yellowstone

Back at Yellowstone, Bay Bridge campground, which is a pretty basic parking lot sort of campground

Last night a rain and windstorm blew into camp. Sounded like a tornado. Surprised tents are still standing today. It’s not as scary on land as it was up in the tent and I was preparing for an emergency evacuation. Our next destination is yet to be determined!

Nevertheless, the scenery was beautiful. And I actually like the sound machine of wind once I realized we weren’t going to end up in Oz.

Rain is back. We packed up like mad. Scratching our last Glacier campground: St Marys. We were underwhelmed and well, rain is rain. Heading to Bozeman for a hotel night before we get back on the road and head back with plans to dispersed camp in national forests.

Bozeman. Homewood Suites. And Olive Garden.

Going to the Sun Road, all the way to St. Mary, out of the park and back in through Two Medicine.

Ah, hotel showers and free breakfasts. The girls could probably stay here for another week.

Made it to Glacier NP. Well the heat is quite a surprise. In the 90s. Our campsite is heavily wooded but we have some optimism that Starlink will work.

Gallatin Forest ended up being a no-go. Our reserved site was blah. We drove up the mountain looking for a dispersed site. We found a few that had great views but they also had an unwelcome committee of huge fly-bee things. Josie was not having that at all. Ed threw in the towel in this one and we headed into Helena where we have a hotel room for the night.
