Hello Montana Glacier National Park!!  Gotta say 4th time here and we love this place -- Parked at Kevins  neighbors Bob house with the house on wheels  Thank you Bob the keeper of the bees-- your the best --not able to get up Kevins drive but stayed at his place during the days with the great eye ball spot  --took a great nap looking at the Rockies till the eyes closed--- --took day trips and hiked and visited with his great friends.Made it back up to Logan Pass--want to do the the Highline trail again maybe next time-- Heading back east  after this stay  across the Great Lakes--sort of sad this great adventure is coming to an end -but time to plan another-- Woowee!!Ya know as I say to most folks we meet gota have a great Partner to do this.

Moved up to Yellowstone --second time here in two years--always amazed with this place with all of the gysers- hot springs -waterfalls and mountains Got to old Faithful 2 minutes before it blew off .Stayed midway at Norris campground 3 nites then moved to the north entrance Mammouth campground for 2 nites. Got to see the the biggest bull elk  what a rack across from the post office in the common -they are so use to people and protected they wander into town all the time.back road Got out on a backroad caught up with a bull moose.Heading up to Glacier Nat park .

Left Willow Creek Colorado Sat 25th heading for Wyoming drove most of the day  lots of high prairie--- thru Irish Canyon where the outlaws hung out..up and over Rabbit Ears Pass into Steamboat Springs ski resort--huge mountain---pushed on trying to make it to Grand Tetons--decided too late to move on stopped in a small town population maybe 12 Maybell --they had a great town park that allowed camper with power--stange parked along side the road townfolk waving at us as if we were the new neigbors--next day into Fire Hole Canyon next to Rock Creek great spot with towering canyons and rock formations all around us---next day heading to the Grand Tetons.

When ya head over the Rockies--get ready not sure if you can.Day tripped out of  Willow Creak Campground  pass Granby and Grand Lakes  huge reservoirs --so you climb and climb-- no way to do this with the house on wheels --so the vertigo kicks in and now driving in the middle of a two lane road  Wooweee --geez the right side is so close and no guard rails and you can see China below --so 30 miles up and 30 down to Estes Park --great town --had lunch and headed back over the big cliff --mim drove over the big one the second time whew thanks--when ya get up there you get  whiffty --surprised  folks dont drive right off from the lack of  O'2.  So look beyond that event and now is one of the best mountain views of the Rockies.Ya know thanks to the the folks who had the visions to put roads over these spectacular mountains--we continue to talk about how did they think of ever making it happen--onward to the Great Tetons
