One thing that was rapid when we were at Rapid City: the heat! It didn't take long for us to be uncomfortably sweaty in the morning, with temperatures rising quickly to the mid 30s Celsius (around 95 degrees Fahrenheit). Storybook Island: A Fun and Free Park for Families One of the most adorable places we […]
We'd slept at a gas station in Newcastle, Wyoming (news to us there was also a Newcastle here, much smaller than the one in Australia or the UK though!). Fortunately compared to other times we'd slept at a gas station, there was much less noise and the street lights weren't as bright overhead. Initially our […]
Sheila was sick all night, constantly needing to go to the toilet and try to purge her body from whatever bug was in her body. We'd both had a poor nights' sleep (Michael faring much worse as the lighter sleeper, Lisette can doze through anything), to take her outside at all hours of the night […]
We were still within Hot Springs State Park, and the only thing left for us to check out was the road where we could potentially spot bison. We'd been told yesterday at the Visitor Center that the bison gave birth the previous month, so the park now had a total of about 30 bison, including […]
Lisette's love of tea means that she has amassed a lot (but perhaps for her, still room for more) types of tea in the RV. This morning, she realized that one of the loose leaf packets of chai from Aussie brand T2 was almost finished, which she'd bought over a year ago. Because Michael likes […]
In the haste to make sure the guys in the car were not breaking into Harry's truck he was a little heavy handed opening our side door and happened to break off the door handle. His luck continued.... The sun is up before 6am these days, so we were up early the next morning to […]
At around 2am, we woke up to the sound of wolves howling in the distance! Michael excited woke Lisette up before 6am, as the fog was lifting at Elk Ranch flats, to see the beautiful sunrise. While there weren't any wildlife here (yet), it's a very popular spot to see bison, elk, pronghorn, and other […]
The best time to see animals at Yellowstone National Park is early in the morning, so we were on the road by 6.45am, ready for another exciting day. We'd heard some of the best places to see animals like bison, elk and antelope was Lamar Valley, so we headed there as the fog was still […]
Lisette awoke not to the pleasant sound of the stream alongside where the RV was parked, but by Michael shaking her awake so we could move from our parking spot. Someone had shown up by 6am to go for a jog, and there'd undoubtedly be more people arriving in the lot. Lisette is definitely the […]
We woke up to sound of cows, still making hilarious high pitched or drawn-out mooing sounds from across the water, as if the cows were actually being impersonated by a person. Fortunately it had been a quiet night with hardly any traffic. We ventured to the RV park that we weren't able to book the […]
