Palisades BLM Campground

We are in site 1 same one we have had the last couple of years, third year at Palisades.  BLM added some gravel to the road however they did not put any gravel in the spot that gets soft and muddy.  I talked to the BLM ranger today and he commented on the fact they had added gravel to the road – when I pointed out that was great however they hadn’t put gravel in the worst part of the road, he said yes the engineers kind of blew that one, he is only the ranger.


1 strike
1 on, took off running down the river and got off, using barbless hooks, any slack in the line and there is a good probability the fish is getting off
1 to the net 8 inches

Palisades BLM – Wednesday June 14, 2017

Moved campgrounds today.

We left Bakers Hole Campground with our first stop in West Yellowstone for gas and propane.   The entrance to Yellowstone was really backed up.  In May you can just drive up to a pay station and into the park, today the 5 entrance pay stations were backed up a 1/2 mile all the way back into the West Yellowstone stop light.

Now at Palisades BLM

 

We are 27 miles south of Ennis, Montana
I didn’t see the three old campsite circles until we had been here for over a week.  I was looking on google earth to see what was around this area and I saw the three shadows of campsite circle.
When I got to Tanya, Mike and Jack’s I had enough WiFi to look on google earth on my laptop.  The full PC version of Google Earth allows you to review all the past pictures of a specific area.  These sites were installed and taken out before 1995.
