My Life and Travels
Heading west to Montana looking for water without mud.
Campsite right at the boat launch, I stopped here to go look at the campground area and notice we had a flat outside dual tire.
Campsite pictures
Turtle came by
I will go over our experience with AAA later. Customer service over the phone is mostly worthless, AAA call center in Utah said I was fifty miles away from one of their contract provides so I just needed to fix it myself.
Spent some time walking around area.
The three rivers are Jefferson Madison Gallatin which form the Missouri River.
View out the side door.
Thursday I think we will drive half way to the Badlands stopping at The Little Bighorn Natl Monument.
Dish TV has a new phone app which allows us to change our service location though the app in just a few minutes as often as we want. We just need cell service and the satellite system up and running. Changing our service location allows us to get the three major networks while we are traveling in the motor home. This is just really cool, it was 30-45 minute process to set up the laptop and do an on line chat wondering how many times a year DISH would allow us to change service locations. Now DISH is going to use the new app as a feature and great selling point for their sports and traveling dish systems, Happy Harry.
Had a nice short drive today.
Our plan is to spend two nights here and then a long day to the Badlands Natl Park on Thursday.
Headwaters of the Missouri River just sounds like a cool place to be.
We are in site 15.
Today’s campsite, site 24, we have been here several times as we have passed through this area.

This is a I-90 rest spot and Forest Service Campground, at mile post 60.
We are in site A7, a nice large pull-through, great since I will not have to unhook the pickup.
On Friday September 15, 2000 I set on this picnic table at 10:30 at night and had my first beer with my daughter.
Here is where I have been fishing at Palisades BLM.
Here are the campsite pictures from the other day. In Ennis for groceries

Internet comes and goes so the picture may not upload. I will post picture later, this is a beautiful place. Eleven sites with only one other person here, he is from Bellingham and has been coming here for eight years.
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.
