We spent some time at Hill today and wished we had stayed in this town rather than keystone. It has a railway museum and nicer shops not tacky and commercialised like at Keystone

Did Grandad make you laugh squashed in the little train?

We saw a marmot on the road too although the photo is not too sharp.

And here are the other wildlife we saw! Buffaloes, deer of different types, many birds and baby chicks. Hope you like the photos, I had fun taking them for you. I think I like wild life photography best xxxxxx

You’re  all up to date with my blog now and love to you all!

We are now staying 5 miles from Mount Rushmore and near to Custer Park that has wildlife in abundance and 1400 bison!

Hi we have arrived safely in Cody which is about 50 miles from Yellowstone NP. Our hotel is lovely (much much better than the small room and motel we have been in with bad facilities and useless wifi).

We had a good journey. the temperature dropped 20 degrees as we journeyed over the mountains and we had a bit of rain, we were getting worried! As soon as we got to the plain between Big Horn mountains and the Rockies we got hot weather back again and its set to stay all week.

SO….. guess what we saw in the Big Horn national forest…. 4 different moose! this one was the nearest to the road

The mountain pass was beautiful as you can see from the scenery. We travelled round and down a very steep gorge with a river racing down it. The rocks have been forced up and show rock from 55million years ago.

The last picture is nearer to Cody and had sandstone features standing up from the surrounding terrain.

I will re send my other blog pages now I can access the photos LOL xxxx

 

Hi I did write yesterday but I’ve given up trying to download photos and script and decided to start again! We visited Devils Tower in Wyoming, Do you recognise it Anona and Lily. (hint der der der der der.)

We are now staying 5 miles from Mount Rushmore and near to Custer Park that has wildlife in abundance and 1400 bison!

Mount Rushmore presidents can be seen from a long way away too. We walked all around the trail taking photos but only including 2 here.

We are going to the night glow tonight at MT Rushmore tonight. I hope its good to see.

once again I can’t download photos so I’ll add them when I get a better wifi connection

We finally left Montana this morning and on our way to Mount Rushmore we stopped in Wyoming to see the mountain featured in the film “Close Encounters of the Third Time”.

 

Anona and Lily will recognise this mountain.

This is Devil’s Tower Wyoming.

We saw prairie dogs there and deer too. And Louis and Otis who is this with Grandma?

Our journey to south Dakota was smooth and ok. We went overland and not on the motorways. The road was very pretty and very straight!

So now we are 5 miles from Mount Rushmore and couldn’t resist a quick peek!

Tomorrow we will be back again and then go to see some buffaloes! we are here 3 nights

love from me xxx
