Yellowstone and I’m BUSTED! 2013

I fought the law and the law won!

The Park Rangers and Host Campers {hard working volunteers} are very serious here about keeping campers and critters happy, meaning separated.  Part of this is that 2 legged life forms must not feed or encourage the 4 legged beasties to search for food.  I’m guilty as charged of leaving our gas grill and small 6 pack cooler out on the picnic table while we were on a road trip.  These items were confiscated and placed in a ‘Food Box’ near our site.  A ‘food box’ is about 3’ lock box made from 1/8” steel plate.DSCN2588DSCN2589

These folks are typical of a crowd that a bear siting causes.  The grizzly in this case is about 200 ‘ off the road grazing in the greenery.  There are about 10 rangers here who are guarding the bear from being molested.  That bear is able to sprint at 30mph, not a great idea to get out of your car as you may appear to be lunch.

IMG_2305Do you have someone on your Christmas list who was born in the late 40’s?  He/She would love this to hang in their den.  Claimed to be original shirt, tie and comic book it was priced at about $2,500.

A local mini brewery is capitalizing on the large congestion caused by herds of IMG_2304bison crossing the roads.  Me thinks that this idea can easily be moved east to Cape Cod: Route 6 Buzz Juice.

 

 

 

Our life is not all peaches and cream here.  due to the 5% slope on our site I was forced to put the front of our rig so low that the rear door went up IMG_2306about 4 feet.  Further evidence of my hardships are shown that my beverage this afternoon is Budweiser.

Oven Bricks 6-17-2012 9-14-52 AM 4608x3456A tip for our RV friends:  Our ovens do not bake well, they are too small and do not have enough mass to hold the temperature even.  Last year Anne-Marie put 4 tiles in our, I do not think she has had cause to remove them.  Try them, you’ll like them!

 

Our future plans (I’m writing this on 6/18/2013) are to leave Yellowstone on 6/20 and move about 85 miles North to Livingston, Montana where we will boondock in their fair grounds.   Hopefully we will do laundry, food shopping and I will find an internet source so I can post these blogs.  We will than move about 150 miles North to Great Falls Montana which is our stepping off spot for our Alaskan Adventure.
