Caravan Stop #3: 255 Miles: Coal River RV Park. On the drive, we say real mountain goats knocking rocks onto the road and stopped for Cinnamon Buns.

We camped in an open field and created a huge “Wagon Wheel” with 25 Airstream campers facing out. It was a 120-foot circle on the outside of the ring.

We were only there for 2 nights, where we did a Hobo Cookout in the center of ring. RV’s were spaced 13 feet apart on the inner ring. Really Cool.

We visited the Liard Hot Springs which was very nice. Very hot at the beginning of the spring and cooled down to bath water temperatures at the end. A bit stinky for Pam, but enjoyable. We encountered a bear on the side of the road, who turned and walked straight at our jeep. Very up close and personal

Caravan Stop #2 – 282 miles: Tripple G Hideaway Park & Campground. Lots of amenities including a restaurant and saloon.

We visited the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum, where Marl Brown wanted to save the history of the area and the building of the highway. Lots of old cars and equipment in 7 buildings. Very much worth a visit if you make this trip.

A bit crazy, but we were only there for 2 nights / 1 full day, and neither Pam or I took almost no pictures. We were busy provisioning and doing chores.

After leaving Yellowstone, we traveled north to Glacier National Park. We stayed 1 night at a Harvest Host: Apple Bar Orchard. Enjoyable stay were we bought berries, jelly and syrup made from Haskap Berries – a super fruit.

We are staying outside Glacier at Heart of Glacier RV Park. A very short drive to the east gate of Glacier.

Our first full day, we drove the “Going to the Sun Road“. A 51 mile drive through the valley and mountains. Beautiful sites and highly recommended.

While staying a Bay Bridge Campground inside Yellowstone, we booked the Chuckwagon Dinner where you take a horse drawn wagon into the back country where they cook a steak dinner for all 200 people. It was very good and we highly recommend it.

While there, we grabbed a table with 2 people. Turns out that Jennifer and Chad were camping just 2 sites from us. What a coincidence. We became friends and had a nice campfire / smores with them on our last night.

On drive home, we ran into a bunch of bison, and we our first Grizzly Bear sighting. Grok says it is a young grizzly that is collared for observation.
