Reed Point Montana

We left Devils Tower on Saturday morning but on Friday we went back to the Devils Tower monument and took the longer trail around the base of the tower.  Here are a few sights from our hike that morning.

 

 

 

Look at the rock over John in this picture.  I think it looks like an eagle with wings spread soaring over him.

We had the trail to ourselves most of the way around so I took every opportunity to stand (or sit) and look around and be in the moment.

We have had some heavy rain out here too.  Check out the video below to see what it sounds like inside the RV when it’s storming outside.  Kinda like we’re in a tin can getting hammered.  Oh yeah, we ARE in a tin can getting hammered 🙂

 

We left Devils Tower on Saturday and headed up to Big Horn National Forest in Wyoming to stay for few days.  It was a real test for the new truck (8300 ft elevation) but we had no problem getting up into the mountains.  And wow, how beautiful it was up there.

We took the truck off the main roads down a few dirt back roads.  We didn’t see any big horn sheep but at one point we pulled off the road so that John could capture some drone video and he spotted two moose in the fields very close to us.  He followed them with his drone (not too close!) and then they came across the road less than 30 yards away from us! I couldn’t believe how big they looked up close but I was too excited to be worried.  John said he was ready to run back into the truck if they decided to come our way 🙂

We left Wyoming this morning and arrived in the small town of Reed Point Montana.  It’s situated north of Yellowstone so there’s a lot of hiking and site seeing to do here.  We’re staying until Sunday and we’re looking forward to checking out this little spot in beautiful Montana.

John wants me to point out that we’ve updated our banner photo at the top of the blog with the new truck picture.  Of course, it’s all about the truck don’t ya know. 🙂
