Day 39 Tongue River State Park

Day 39-Tongue River State Park 
Well, we’ve had another beautiful day in southern Montana. However, after a cool breezy night last night, today there no breeze and much hotter. I think it got up to 86. Tomorrow is supposed to be 96 and Friday supposed to get 100. Gone are the cool days when wearing jeans and long sleeves were in order. Our campsite has it’s own private beach. I took my chair and sat out for about an hour and a half. I even walked into the water. I was afraid to go swimming not sure what would be under me. It is all rocks going out so I wear flip flops. Tomorrow I hope to blow up the raft so I have something to hold on to. The state park is built around a reservoir. It is the beginning of the Yellowstone River. Very beautiful. When Joe went to the nearest grocery store (about 20 minutes away) he noticed he was now in Wyoming again. This state park is on the border of Montana and Wyoming. Joe said it was a nice drive and the mountains were definitely in Wyoming. Said the town was nice so I may want to go see it. A good thing to do if it’s going to rain. Friday is when we might get some rain. Joe was in his happy place. He bought a fishing license and just put his chair down on the “beach” and fished. It was so quiet and for him the height of relaxation. He actually saw a fish swimming near the shore and tried to cast there, but no luck. He got a couple of strikes which kept him interested. Tomorrow if it’s nice it’ll be more of the same. Relaxing in the sun. 😊

Day 8 Fun with family

Day 8 Joe informed me that my days were off by one. Oh well, I’ve told you everything I needed to say so I’m continuing with the day I’m on.😊 Today was a fun day with family. Went over to Chuck and Marilyn’s house for breakfast . She’s such a good cook. We had fruit, quiche, and blueberry muffins. Delicious. They have remodeled their house since we were here last. Looks beautiful. My niece and her family came over for lunch. It was great seeing my niece Brandi, and my great niece Margaret. We were also celebrating Brandon’s ((Brandi’s husband) birthday. Marilyn cooked a shrimp boil. Have never had that. You put a lot of things together in a pot and cook. She had corn on the cob, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and onions. It was very good. Then time for luscious desserts. My great niece made homemade key lime pie, my favorite. Brandon made a homemade blackberry pie. Ice cream and brownies as well. Needless to say I only had a small salad for dinner. In the middle of all this eating ...

Day 27...Yellowstone

Day 27-Yellowstone  Day 27- Yellowstone Well we have no cell or internet so I haven’t been able to post this in a timely manner. Hopefully, we’ll find someplace tomorrow with good cell service or wi-fi. So today was full of adventure . We woke up early to head out to see the sight. The first place we visited was the West Thumb Geyser Basin. What a sight to behold. All this places in the ground with bubbling water/mud . It is so unreal to think about all that’s going on below the service. Got good pictures. Our purpose today was to see critters. Supposedly they are to be found in the Hayden Valley and the Lamar Valley. Hayden is known for its bison and Lamar is known for grizzlies, bears, wolves and other critters. We were not disappointed in Hayden . We saw all kinds of buffalo and got some decent pictures. We also went to the Mud Volcano and it is as it’s name implies. Hot, hot bu...

Day 16 Standing on the Corner

Day 16 Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in FB land. Hope you all had a great day. Joe and I had a different and fun celebration. We are staying in Homolovi State Park which is Hopi Indian land. There are two main archeological sites. Currently there are not digs going on but we hiked to two of the sites. They have uncovered  two Pueblo’s  (villages) which were fascinating. They have uncovered several rooms and even a kiva (religious room). There were plenty of pottery shards that have been found. There have been vandals here so now it’s a crime to take stuff. There are signs all over the place. Anyway, between the 2 hikes we probably walked a mile or so. It was hot and we were climbing up on a Mesa so we were winded. I have been drinking lots of water so I think i’m doing better with regards to dehydration. After the hikes, we went to downtown Winslow and got pictures at the “Standing On The Corn...
