Friday morning I slept in til 6 knowing that the next few days would be busy and exhausting. I had also wanted to check out Helena’s organic supermarket which I’d found out about the day before and they didn’t open until 8am. Real Food Organic Market was awesome. They carried everything I’d been looking to … More Day 9/10
I’m in Glacier National Park with a fellow photographer. Its been a long day and I’m a little too bushed to write a full update. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some mid day downtime and wifi…
When I’d met campers Helen and Mike the other day, Mike had told me of several good places to investigate on my way to Glacier National Park. I had originally planned to leave from Gardiner, MT, but his suggestions had led me to head out of the park through West Yellowstone. I’m SO thankful I … More Day 8: And the day just kept getting better…
Yesterday afternoon I met photographer Bart Smith (http://www.walkingdownadream.com/) as I was wandering around Yellowstone. He told me some really interesting information about the Nez Perce National Historic Trail which runs through Yellowstone. In 1877 a band of 700 Nez Perce men, women and children fought against the 7th Calvary while trying to escape to Canada rather than be forced onto … More Day 8: Lunch break in West Yellowstone…
I slept in until amost 6:30 this morning, partially because I’d been up a bit later than my recent norm, and partially because the the traffic from I-90 and the train tracks running right next to the campground kept waking me up. Not the most ideal location for a good night’s rest, but it was … More Day 7: Lazy In Yellowstone
Its been a very long day. I was up at 5 to photograph the sunrise after a bit of a late night sky photography. Neither scene disappointed. I then drove to Rapid City to find wifi and coffee. I also needed to find a Best Buy and exchange my bluetooth for something that drowned out … More Day 6: Unplanned routes = long days
[THE WordPress App on my phone did not want to send yesterday, so yesterday’s post is showing up a tad late…] I set my alarm for 5 am last night, anxious to photograph the sunrise in the badlands after the beautiful sunset I’d just witnessed. My internal clock kicked in and I woke up before my … More Day 5: The People We Meet
Keeping in the spirit of my taking my time through the midwest this trip rather than powering through til I reached one of my main destinations, I spent most of today’s drives on backroads. Made for a much longer, but more interesting drive. Now I’m sitting at my campsite on the back side of Badlands … More Day 4: Badlands National Park
After playing catch up on my sleep last night, I awoke feeling pretty refreshed. Ten hours of sleep will do that to a person. I headed out just before 8 to grab some coffee from Fair Grounds Coffeehouse (http://fairgroundscoffeehouse.com/) which my couchsurfing host, Lauren, had told me about. If I hadnt already been crazy thankful … More Day 3: Sioux City
