June 28, 2020 Today was Sunday so we took it easy. We woke up later than normal and took our time getting ready. It was a rainy night and rained off and on all day long. After breakfast we lowered the top and left the campground. We drove south on the highway out of Yellowstone. […]

Old Faithful
June 27, 2020 We left camp early, around 6 am, so we could avoid the crowds at Old Faithful. It was about a 40 minute drive from Bridge Bay campground to the Old Faithful area. It was a good choice to leave early. The next Old Faithful geyser prediction was about 20 minutes after we […]
Mammoth and Lamar Valley
June 25, 2020 We left camp at 7 am and saw a couple of large elk on the way out of camp. We wanted to get a early start so we could avoid the crowds. Our plan was to head north to Mammoth and then east to the Lamar Valley area. Our plan was to […]
Mid – Lower Geyser Basin
June 24, 2020 In the morning we drove into West Yellowstone and gassed up the van. We also went to the Museum of Yellowstone. The museum was in the old Union Pacific Railroad Depot. Much of the museum was based around the changing methods of transportation to and in the national park. It was very […]
Southeast Idaho
June 22, 2020 We left on our trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks on Monday afternoon. We needed to tend Rosie while Kayla went to a meeting, so we didn’t get out of the house until about 3:30 pm. The drive north on I-15 was a little crowded, but not too bad. As […]
Kuna Cave
June 10, 2020 We woke up early so we could hit the hot springs one more time in the cool of the morning. However, we had left our towel and swimsuits outside to dry and it ended up raining hard during the night. I didn’t even hear the rain, but Eva did. The sun was […]
Bonneville Hot Springs
June 9, 2020 After eating breakfast we drove 40 minutes up the canyon to Challis. We ended up spending about 2 hours parked at the church using the internet to update the blog, and Eva was on the phone with Verizon trying to decide if we would change our cell plan. Before leaving Challis we […]
Goldbug Hot Springs
June 8, 2020 In the morning it was cold and snowing a bit, but not enough to stick to the ground. We left the campsite and continued north on highway 93. About 8-10 miles north, as elevation rose, there was 3-4 inches of snow on the ground, so it was good we camped down by […]
Fall Creek Falls
June 7, 2020 The morning was cool and rainy so we were late getting up and leaving the campground. After breakfast the kids decided to head for home since it was raining. About 5 minutes after they left, we realized that Kayla had left her cheese curds, from Reeds Dairy, in our fridge, so we […]
Bear World
June 6, 2020 It was a windy morning when we left the campsite and continued on to Idaho Falls. After arriving in Idaho Falls, we gassed up and called the kids. They had just passed us, so we continued north towards Rexburg, arriving at Yellowstone Bear World just after 10 am. The kids had arrived […]
