Finally got a few minutes to log into a computer. My wife and I are day 5 of our trip. Presently in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Day1: Road as far as Fargo, ND. Because of the flooding in Minot and in parts of southern Manitoba, we decided to head that way.
Day 2: Headed west to Jamestown and then turned south and made it to Pierre, SD. They've had their fair share of flooding as well. Most businesses downtown had sandbags still in place.
Day 3: When we crossed over to Fort Pierre there was flooding on that side with a storage unit under water. Was going to go backroads to Sturgis but dummy me didn't fill the tank when we left Pierre so we made a turn south when we were still 80 miles from Sturgis. Still made it to Buffalo, Wyoming for the night.
Day 4: Only went as far as Cody, Wyoming since we wanted to take our time through Yellowstone. Took in a live country performance at the Cody Theatre and chowed down at the Irma Hotel. The wind decided to pick up and the town was bombarded with a sand and dirt storm. We spent a few hours picking sand out of our ears, eyes and clothes after that. 55 mph wind gusts sure make it hard to walk. Made us glad we decided to stop early.
Day 5: Took in the southern part of Yellowstone Park with a stop at Old Faithful. Lots of burnt out bush on the east entrance. Headed south out of Yellowstone through Grand Teton Park and when we got to Jackson, Wyoming we crossed over to Idaho.
Have to fill in the details better when I have time. Lovin the ride.:bigsmiley12:
