Finally Photos

 After much haggling with Google Photos, I have pictures to share!

Here is my camp in Maple Grove MN where I spent a week without electric and water hookups, but all good. I had a primo spot next to the toilets, fresh water, and dish washing sink...really awesome. When I arrived Friday, all spots were full with the exception of the one next to mine...very nice. The camp was next to Lake Independence and the trails were great. 



I got new 3 new tires in Maple Grove and headed to Bismarck ND for 2 nights and camped near the Missouri River. Good trails there and a frisbee golf course, so of course, I played although I'm terrible. Trying to get Willow used to me throwing whatever...I'd throw, we'd run to the frisbee and when I made it in the "hole"...is that what they call it...I would jump and yell in my happy voice. She did well putting up with the throwing and with me. LOL


After 2 days in General Sibley Park, and an oil change in town, we headed to Billings MT for a night. The drive was spectacular and we stopped at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park Painted Canyon overlook. Yep, the exact spot a woman was gored by a bison a few days before. Seriously, it's right off the interstate...how the heck does that happen? 




Not great photos and yep, a thumb. But it was gorgeous, and I didn't see a single Bison. Whew!

In Billings, I camped at the Missouri headwaters which is 3 rivers joining and all that was flying was mosquitoes everywhere all the time. Ugh. But pretty none the less. 



I was going to take the Beartooth Highway down to the north part of Yellowstone; however, the more I read about the drive, I came to realize I would be white knuckling it the whole way. Jason, let's put that drive on our bucket list and go together in not an RV. So on to Bozeman I went and camped along the beautiful Yellowstone River. 

I hung out in Bozeman the next morning and walked the city park trail and had breakfast. 


I drove from Bozeman to Couer d'Alene ID and stayed for 2 nights in a nice camp but with no trails, so I was kind of stuck. I did get to see Lake Couer d'Alene as I left for the Cascade mountains of Washington. 

I stayed at this little run down place in the alpine lakes area of the cascades. It was quaint though with some hilarious people talking about ridiculous things...which I only just overheard because, well, they were 50 feet from me. LOL. 


And then I arrived at Sally and Bob's in Sequim WA. It's pretty much heaven. Cool weather, 10 minute bike ride to the ocean, taking the boat out onto the ocean, hearing the ship horns as they travel port to port, and watching the eagles dive for fish in the pond. More pics to follow, but here are a few. 









Watson signing out with peace in my heart.
