Day 4. Blogging by the river

We have reached Big Timber MT, although, there isn't any timber. We are about 80 miles due North of Yellowstone Park. We lefted Cheyenne WY at 8:10am, travelled through hazy, hot (94F) weather, & arrived here at 4:30pm after driving 553 miles.

We have a great little campsite on the Boulder River. We hear running water over the rocks. It looks a lot like Swift River in NH. The campground is also a trout ranch with ponds full of 10 inch trout. They must feed them by hand because the fish follow you when you walk to the edge of the water. We could have fished for our dinner at $0.45 per inch, but we decided to checkout a local eatery.

We continue to travel well together, argue little, & share the driving. It has been an easy trip so far & Jim is learning Pepe's routine.

Tomorrow is a short day & we are heading to Glacier National Park on the Canadian border.

Hello gentlemen,

I am finally catching up on your travels since I had arrived home from Spain on Sunday night, minus my luggage. Here it is Tuesday morning and still no sign of the bag.

I am enjoying the daily updates of your trip and hope that the sights are fantastic, even in the heat. By the information supplied, the trip sounds a lot more civil than I had expected. I would have thought you were going to 'rough it' by eating road kill and becoming real hermits on your travels. Just do not let the beards grow too long.

Have a spectacular day and enjoy civilization before you reach the Canada wilds.
