My son-in-law and daughter bought an enclosed trailer in Montana, the price was right. Their Jeep was prewired for trailers, but did not have a trailer brake controller in it. They figured since it was prewired it would be best to have a Dodge dealership install a brake controller. We were visiting …

We had been in the park for just over two months and had not walked across the bridge. Well we did it finally just days before were leaving to return home. I remember visiting the park when I was just a child. I think I remember seeing people fishing off of the bridge, it was still allowed at that t…

It has become a running joke among ourselves, “It’s just another bison!” After about the first week we had seen so many bison seeing them was just second hand to us. We even had them eating just outside of the apartment. We would vocalize, among ourselves, our disapproval of the tourist’s actions wh…

The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center located in West Yellowstone Montana, just outside of Yellowstone National Park, is a great place to take your kids. Not only do they have grizzly bears and wolfs they have a ground squirrel enclosure and several different raptors. They have one program for the…

While we were in Billings Montana we found this quaint little hometown restaurant, Crazy Mary’s Fish n Chips. It may have been able to seat 20 or 25 people at most. We fell in love with the place. She has a patio in the back that she allowed to put our dogs so they would not be in a hot car. The kid…

Bison in the front yard and elk in the back yard. We have seen one bear in the back yard but we did not get a chance to photograph it. I have come to the conclusion that even though cell phone cameras take great photographs there is not substitution for a longer lens. We were in the Fishing Bridge G…

We have had bison cruising through housing off and on all summer long. We finally caught one just outside the window. These photos are taken through a bedroom window or from the front porch. Mark…

My first visit to Lewis and Clark Caverns was back in the mid 1970’s. We rode an open car train up to the entrance. The park did away with the train a couple of years later due to safety issues. I remember how neat it was and how dark when they turned off the lights. I had wanted to take Brian and J…

We started the day out fishing on a chartered boat with a fishing guide for two hours. Justin was our guide, we all like him. He was profession and friendly. I overheard a conversation between boat captains, they keep a tally on fish caught between themselves. Our boat caught the most fish! Thank yo…

The big attraction here is the Grand Prismatic Spring. The best view is from an overlook located up on a hill. The trail to the overlook is long and crowded, plus it starts out a few miles away at the nearest bridge. One strange thing we all saw is the steam seemed to be different colors. The colors…
