Way too many miles but here we go!

First of all we are in Port Huron Michigan tonight and we will be here two nights and go into Canada on Saturday the 2nd of June.

But the history is like this.  After we left Yellowstone on the 20th we went straight east toward Cody Wyoming. Like I said Yellowstone and Glacier are national treasures and we used megabytes of camera space on all the scenery and animals. We could have spent another two weeks easily to explore either place ... wonderful.

As we left Yellowstone we stopped at the Buffalo Bill Cody reservoir for a break and the dam was just in the center of the picture ... the dam is only about 200 feet wide because of the depth of the canyon ... really unique.

And some mountain sheep that were trying to cross the road.

Then we came to rest in Cody Wyoming at the Ponderosa RV park. We just happened to see the place as we drove by and were tired so went back. Really nice facility and you can see the cabins behind the bus. Right behind the cabins is a 200 foot cliff down to the Shoshone River and the park has a steep drive to some tepees that you can rent down below right on the river.

The next morning we took off and headed for Ten Sleep Wyoming. OK I know you are saying, "Ten Sleep?" where the heck and why?

We have been following a young person named Shreve Stockton on her blog called the "Daily Coyote." She wrote a book about four years ago about a coyote she had inherited as a pup and has raised since in the town of Ten Sleep Wyoming. You have to look up the meaning of the town and do some clips from her site.

It is a wonderful story of animals and people and she has some really neat insights into life in some pretty rough conditions. Below is a tavern in the town of 360.

After Cody and Ten Sleep the canyons and rivers are nothing but spectacular as you head east on Hwy 16.

We were concerned as we looked at the map about the several passes and summits on the route but pressed on. Below we are at about two miles up and the highest the Flying Scotsman has been yet on its North American adventure.

The bus purred up the hill and down and is a dream to drive. Sometimes you forget that you are piloting 20 tons of hardware and maybe you need to lead the turns a bit more and slow down, so there is an occasional "yahoo!" that gets both Jo-Anne and Buster excited and they both close their eyes ...

We wanted eventually to connect with I-90 to the east and that was at Buffalo Wyoming at the Twin Creeks campground. It was a nice place but pretty standard. It had been a KOA then not and when we arrived had again been redesignated a KOA park. Nothing great but not bad ... but the ratings of the two books were much higher than it should have been.

Once we hit I-90 then it was off running at a faster and smoother pace. Fuel fill up at Buffalo was at $4.21 per gallon and we are still getting about 8.4 MPG.
