Kayaking the Miss0uri was great --woowee in was fast 22 miles in 4 hours why did it take Lewis and Clark so long.Saw a couple of eagles nesting and flying above.Today moving up to Lewis and Clark Nat forest for two days before cathing up with Kevin in Glacier

We left Yellowstone Park two days ago with regret but gotta move on --then we moved north to Helena MT stayed on the Missouri river at Canyon ferry Lake--met some grand montana couple there with the babies the mom reminded us of Jamie could have been her sister-their child 3 years old was darling--so looking at the dam last nite with all the lites and the folks around here its another one of the best .Today we are are bit further north than Helena at Holter Lake another Missouri river dam.Gotta say we have not stayed at at place that we did not want to stay longer. Tomorrow its a 22 mile trip down the river from Wolf Creek to Mountain Palace take out .Gonna catch some fish on this one!!! Getting on closer to Glacier from here. Going by too fast, been on the road for a almost a month. This is a picture of where we had to stay tonite for 5 bucks, we cant afford to stay at home anymore.

Friday 6/25 Aday

After our climb up Mt Everest yesterday, we needed to rest our tired body so we hung around campsite today and read, plan somemore of our route, cleaned and started to pack up. A nice laid back day for us and on the road tomorrow to head to MT.

Last nite we had many visitors on the hill behind our camper. A herd of elk with little babies too. They have no fear of people and got right next to me when I took the pictures. She was close enough that I could have touch her but I know better. The first picture has 2 elk in it and this is on our campsite.

Off to MT and no sure how much computer access we will have but surely will try to keep up with what is happening.

Onward to MT and to see Kevin at Glacier.

Today we did the hike up Benson ---woowee the legs are woobly tonite--lots of miles and up to 8564 feet elevation-- yep nice view up there staying here over the weekend

Yellowstone day 3

Day 3 in Yellowstone still exploring too much to see--wild kingdom still every where -two of the pics today bison waking right down the center line of the road between the cars--and black bears in the trees along side of the road --elk right in the campground from our site saw a spotted baby elk -- a young couple had their tent knocked down by a young elk during the day no one in it-- geez we are glad to be in the metal box!This was the day to see the waterfalls---pics can not see what you see-- walked down into the falls an amazing staircase the park has built back in the 30s down 600 feet 380 stairs to the bottow of Canyon falls not bad if the blood flow through the pumper ok but if afraid of hights like me hang on!!Went on to Yellowstone lake at fishing bridge that you cannot fish because it a breeding ground for the fish--so i put the pole back into the truck --geez

there she blows

we are camping on top of a volcano maybe 100 miles below us it but shoots out steam in many places around us--unless you are a geologist you gotta ask the people in the know what its all about .lots of hot springs -mud pots and the big one Ole Faithful WHAT A SIGHT must have been 2000 people there this is a very busy place cant amazine july and august .will do another side of the park tommorow and fish the the rivers.you can stay here foreverer and not feel most of it

Another blog for today mim whats the picture of going over Bearthooth Pass the snow banks at the top of the mountain

Yahoo Yellowstone Nat park !!!!! Feels like Jarassic Park --critters running all over the place Bison,saw 3 grizzlies far away thats a good thing elk-- geez they graze right in town---black bear on the side of the road--hey this is their playpen.Spent most of the morning looking for a campsite this place fills up fast we are mammouth very top of the park.Tommorow its down to Ol Faithful and hiking to more beutious spots Left early this morning from Red Lodge Montana went over Bearthooth Pass Woowee!! more than we thought it would be-- take Mt Washington and multiply that 10 times and there ya go At the top the claim to fame is the highest highway in the lowest 48 states-- Alaska has a higher one cant wait to get over that one Picture is looking down at Beartooth Pass that we came up and over

Moved into Montana friday seeing snow on some of the mountains camping near Red Lodge MT we tried to get into several Nat Forest campgrounds they were full so ended up boondocking along with several others great spot between two mountains Granite Park highest Mountain in MTover 12000 feet---- better luck fishing here got some trout for supper.tommorow going over Beartooth pass to yellowstone woowee gonna have fun moving the rv over that baby with all the switchbacks.

Left Beaver Lake State Park in Napoleon ND on weds what a little oasis in the middle of the prairie --got skunked fishing for northern pike in the lake must have been the bait never my angling talent--great place could have stayed longer as we say before leaving each new spot.We are now in western ND at Rossevelt NP topography is beginning to change from the flat green carpet in the east to canyons and the badlands---looking out into the canyons you can imagine the Lone Ranger and Tonto making there way into town.its great ---every corner you go around is different

Finally some pictures

We are in ND now

We left MN on Monday 6/13 and it was one of the nicest days yet but we still had to leave to get onward to ND so we can make it to Kevin's house in MT by July 1. Driving to our campsite, all there is to see so far in ND is farm land and cows and not a lot of trees but miles of green grass. We got to our camp site, Beaver Lake State Park in Napeleon ND and there are some trees here which is a rare in what we have seen so far in ND. This is a 25 site camping area and we are the only campers here other then the hosts of the park. We are over looking a huge lake and there are tons of birds around b ecause there are trees here. Moe and I kayaked for a couple of hours this morning and Moe is out fishing now so maybe we will even have fish tonight. Today is another beautiful day (which we haven't haven't had many of) and we plan to go for a long hike after he catches our dinner.
So far all is great. We have stayed at some unbelieveable parks and mostly on lakes.
I now know why MN is called the state of 10,000 lakes cause it truly is and most of them are huge ones.
We stayed on Cass Lake in MN which has a big island on it and on the island is a lake so it's a lake within a lake, amazing.
We are heading to Theodore Roosevelt National Park tomorrow and hopefully stay about 4 days before we head to WY.
When we travel we are travelling, we are doing about 300 miles a day which doesn't seem like much but pull the camper is takes many hours.
So all is great with us and we are so enjoying our trip.
Since this is a new computer and once we transfer our pictures to it I will send some out to you all.
Miss you all
love
Mimi and Moe

We are now in WI

We have been on the road now for 11 days and we are in Wiscousin. Weather hasn't been the best since it's been raining alot since we left home. We have been hiking, biking and have kayaked a couple of times so we are staying busy. Today it's pouring out there and we are hoping that it will clear up and we will get some sunshire. All is well so far. We have been camping in some remote spots so our computer hasn't been working well. We have been going to libraries to read our emails and that is where I am now in the Park Fall Pulblic Libray in Wiscousin.
We are hoping to keep up with this blog and put some pictures in for you so you can see some of the beautiful sights we have seen. We are doing great and having lots of fun.
