In a previous post Tara mentioned Fred and Judy Babb, who gave us a ton of information, about everything… everywhere. One of the things they told us about was Polebridge. Pole bridge is a small town (no idea the population, but it can’t be more than 100) about 45 minutes north of the West Glacier … More Polebridge, Montana

Our intention on our second day at Glacier was to tackle a longer day hike that our old buddy Fred had told us about. Fred was the retired park ranger we met in Teton who, among other tips, suggested we try this one particular hike  that would involve holding on to a cable across a mountain … More More Glacier, MT: Going to the Sun Road

After a night in Kalispell a town over, we got to Glacier pretty early in the morning since once again almost all the campsites here are first come first serve, and we ended up with a good spot at Avalanche Creek off of Lake McDonald, the biggest of the many lakes in the park, and … More Glacier National Park, MT

A quick drive over the Gardner River (not sure that’s what it was actually called..maybe it was the Madison) out of the Northern Yellowstone Entrance and we were officially in Montana. We had a couple of errands to run and needed to find a place for Murphy to burn off some steam. Side note: almost … More Bozeman to Glacier, Montana

A lot of people have sent us letters asking us how we spend our time at night when we don’t have electricity, internet, TV, and aren’t able to watch our typical 2 movies per night. Well, it usually starts with a fire outside and Derek chopping a lot of wood, one of his self-proclaimed favorite … More No electricity, no internet, no problems!

Leaving Teton was tough. The park and Jackson Hole are super laid back and beautiful, there’s tons to do and see, and even when the park is full it doesn’t feel that crowded. Not to mention we had prime real estate for a campsite – we had a ton of space, the sunsets were amazing, … More On to Smellystone…Yellowstone, MT

As we mentioned previously, we did a night in a Walmart parking lot… I know it sounds kind of “rock bottom” but it’s actually really convenient, and since it was close to midnight, we figured it made more sense to finish the drive to Jackson Hole the next morning. Since we didn’t get to Jackson until … More Grand Teton NP and Jackson, WY

I’ll hit the Black Hills quickly here, because that’s exactly what we did. We drove from the Badlands west to the Black Hills. In the Black Hills we saw Mt. Rushmore (but didn’t really stop), We drove over to the the Crazy Horse monument (which is still in construction and looks like it should be … More Black Hills, SD

  So, we’ve been out on the road for almost two weeks now and there are a few things that I have learned about road tripping… and I learned them very quickly. First… make sure your camper tires are chalked before you unhook said camper from your truck. Purchased blocks or even just pieces of … More A Couple Lesson’s Learned (so far)

So I mentioned Wall Drug in the Badlands post, but really felt that Wall Drug deserved it’s own title… From the minute we entered South Dakota from Minnesota, roughly 200+ miles away, we started seeing signs for Wall Drug. The signs varied from “Free Ice Water” to “Get Lunch or Be Lunch” (featuring a Dinosaur), … More Wall Drug, SD
