Because I didn't add any written text when I theoretically added these photos, it didn't publish them. Hopefully they should be OK now. It also appears that these are not easily accessible, and some seem to be having trouble finding them. I can only apologise and offer no help. I'm struggling enough writing and downloading - you,re on your own!!... read more

We're staying here 2 nights as its such a lovely spot, so the plan today is to do the 'Bear tooth Pass'. Back tracked to Cody, filled up with gas and set off for the pass. Crossed into the state of Montana and picked up the pass which is a well known mecca for motorcyclists and one of the most breath taking roads in the region. Its a road made up of hairpin bends climbing up, and down, a 10,600' mountain. I'm sure, in the summer its lovely, however the road had only opened that morning as they had only just managed to clear the snow. For anyone interested, try checking out you tube on 'clearing the Beartooth highway April 26th'. The machinery used to clear the snow had left 10 foot walls of snow either ... read more

Bank holiday traffic not quite what I had anticipated, hardly saw another car. Found Clearwater campsite, Wapiti, a site with no running water and vault toilets. Right next to Shoshone river, with at most, 3 other people! A beautiful site. Spent the afternoon on a wander through the sage brush and spotted a bison, collected firewood for the evening, and popped to the nearest store (15 miles) and stocked up on provisions, all of which are stored safely in the bear proof storage box provided. Fell asleep with the sound of the river rushing by about 4 foot from the tent.... read more

It was a day of rest. After coffee I had to drag Oscar around for his walk, he just didn’t want to go. He proceeded to sleep all day. In the sun, in the shade, on the rocks and on his blanket. What a life. I was busy. First I went to the laundry and did 2 loads of wash. Then I ripped the camper apart one piece at a time. I was tired of sleeping next to the kayak (inflatable) and decided there was someplace it would fit. I laid it out on the picnic table in the sun to get all soft and pliable then folded it into a nice small bundle. I took all the stuff out from the back and it fit there with the rest of the essentials that were already ... read more

I had to look back at the pictures to remember what happened today, it was so full. After going to bed early you’d think I’d be up early, but no I slept 10 hours. I must have been really tired. So of course coffee time with this gorgeous view, them a walk to get the blood flowing and keep Oscar happy in the camper and we were off by 10am. Oh, I did get up some time early morning because the moon had set so I could see the stars, they knocked my socks off. So bright and billions of them. The first thing we came to after driving 10 min was the dam that made the lake. It dams up the Wind River and then we went through the canyon. Pictures--- Then I spotted a ... read more
