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.

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. 🤩

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

We spent the night in Medora last night and before heading out on our way to Bozeman we decided to take a very brief trip into Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We only had a couple of hours so we skimmed the high points hitting. We made the drive on the Scenic Loop with stops at Wind Canyon, Boicourt Overlook, and Buck Hill. We also made a stop at the Prairie Dog town. It was gorgeous scenery and we had a great time checking out the short trails.
