Our journey to Yellowstone, as mentioned, took us across 3 states. We left Wenatchee and crossed the Idaho border through Spokane. On this stretch of road we found a 150 mile long man made lake called "The Grand Coulee Dam" taking in Lake Roosevelt it is the largest hydroelectric project in America. It's amazing what you can find on a back road!
We drove across the smallest part of Idaho with a lunch break - only took about an hour.
Into the state of Montana. Wow......have never seen such big blue skies!The towns here are very few and far between but well worth the wait once you got there. Many ranches, farms, barns and beautiful mountain scenery lay in wait for the avid traveller. After 9 hours of driving we lay our heads in the township of Butte.
Hopped up early. The Motel we stayed in was by far the noisiest one yet. Over the last 2 months (in 11 states) we have stayed in 16 motels! Did some shopping at the local Grocery store for supplies and headed out to Yellowstone National Park.
Team Connor (and Neville) reached the West entrance to the park via Highway 287, which didn't disappoint in some of the most beautiful mountain backdrops against the big blue Montana skies.
Paid our National Park entrance fee of $25 per vehicle (which lasts for 7 days and covers both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks - directly below it) and in we went in search of Yogi Bear!
We have around 432 photo's to go through of our 6 night adventure so we will blog again tomorrow.
Good night all.........
Team Connor.
Glad you are out safely now....You Bear Crazy Bunch!
