From Cody Wyoming to Paradise Valley Montana

While I am writing this from Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, it is an attempt to fill in the recent gaps in our Wild West Tour.  So here are some scenes as I seek to bring these blogs up to date.
Communications have not always been easy.  It was good to find some phones
so we could speak to each other!

Our destination after leaving Cody was Yellowstone National Park. It covers a vast area and among its attractions is "Old Faithful".

Two other Old Geysers waiting for the "moving of the waters/gas".


There she goes....
One of the many spectacular "mineral hot baths" around the Geyser.
This one is called the "Sapphire Pool".

A Bison crosses the road in front of us


We have been into 10 States and done 4,000miles during the last 3 weeks. Imagine if we were in this?


But even modern day travelling does take its effect!

Then again, we could have always gone by bike...or better still

by a 1956 Porsche

On Sunday afternoon we went to church but it was closed. It is the oldest Lutheran Church in Montana and was used in the film "The Horse Whisperer". It sits out in the fields all by itself.
I'll take my hat off to anyone who worships out there.

A Prairie Dog looking for its mate!

Criss-crossing the country roads of Montana

It's dirty work and even dangerous...
Trying to see through the front windscreen with the dust of an approaching car and insects splattered all over the glass!

Just up the road from where we stayed in Paradise Valley. It was just beautiful.

Until next time..Happy trails to you..
