Bison in Yellowstone.
Tyler got the Collectors Edition Yellowstone Monopoly while in Yellowstone, and then played it a bit in the RV while driving in Yellowstone! Very meta!
We had a nice (socially distanced) walk along the Snake River / Emily Stevens Park in Jackson, WY with Kendra Gapinski and family! #TeamSPS
We played the Camp board game last night for the first time. Fun RV game. Good game that can be played with multiple ages at the same time. Tammy won!
Yellowstone Log: Day 8, Saturday
Weather: great, clear, mid-70s
Yellowstone Log: Day 7, Friday
Weather: mid 70s. Nice.
The KOA that we are at has no WiFi and no cellular signal. We’ve been offline for 3 days except for an occasional stop in some town. Tonight we all got in the rental car and drove into West Yellowstone to get LTE signal! 📱
Yellowstone Log: Day 6, Thursday
Weather: started out rain/drizzle. Cleared up and was great day.
We all had a great morning fly fishing on the Gallatin River! Tammy caught 2 trout, Tyler got a little Rainbow Trout and Mazie had a bunch of bites. I got a Rocky Mountain Whitefish that gave a lot of fight. Gallatin River Guides were great. 🎣
Yellowstone Log: Day 5, Wednesday
Weather: lovely day
Afternoon ice cream stop in Gardiner, MT at the Yellowstone North Entrance. 🍦
Pulled into West Yellowstone KOA last night. Gorgeous drive here. They are not famous for their WiFi. 😜
Short video tubing down the Madison River.
I’m sure that there are people that can look cool with a GoPro attached to their forehead. However, I am not one of them. 😬
We had a fabulous afternoon tubing down the Madison River today outside of Bozeman, MT. We went with Madison River Tubing and they set everything up perfect for us. The water was gorgeous, we had perfect weather, and the cooler with beverages was a nice addition.
Yellowstone Log: Day 4, Tuesday
Weather: beautiful day
We had a great dinner outside (pandemic!) at MAP Brewing last night. Perfect weather overlooking a recreational lake. The Midas Crush was great. 🍺
It was 2005 when Tammy first stumbled upon EarthRoamer and I instantly went down that “rabbit hole.” Yesterday we stopped for groceries while in Bozeman, MT and I spotted an EarthRoamer! It was the first time I’d seen one in person. The thing is impressive, and massive. 🤩
