TRAVEL DAY
From: Buffalo KOA Journey Campground, Buffalo, WY.
To: Custer/Mt. Rushmore KOA Holiday Campground, Custer, South Dakota.
Day 354 – Today we drive from Wyoming to South Dakota to another KOA Campground, staying at this one for 3 nights. Tomorrow morning we’ll be driving to Rapid City, SD to get our COVID shots. We’d wanted to wait until the government had approved shots that included the latest variants of the virus.
TRAVEL DAY
From: Billings KOA Holiday Campground, Billings, MT.
To: Buffalo KOA Journey Campground, Buffalo, WY.
Day 353 – We left Montana today and crossed the border into Wyoming. Our new campground is another KOA and we’re only staying one night. Check-in time at the Buffalo KOA was 2 p.m. (From what we read, Buffalo, WY is “LONGMIRE COUNTRY”. We are Longmire fans. Those of you that have read the books or watched the series know about Longmire. Grin.) We didn’t have to wait around too long to leave. We departed the Billings, MT KOA at 10:40 a.m.
TRAVEL DAY
From: James Kipp Recreation Area Campground, south of Malta, MT.
To: Billings KOA Holiday Campground, Billings, MT.
Day 352 – We moved rapidly out of the fire-ridden Icefields Parkway in Alberta Canada and into Montana U.S.A. We stopped for 6 nights at the James Kipp Recreation Area Campground adjacent to the Slippery Ann Elk Viewing Area. Now it’s time to move on for several one-night stays until we reach another destination campground site where we’ll have a longer stay again. The campground we are going to today for one night is a KOA Kampground, which offers full hook-ups. It’s time to dump tanks and get fresh water.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN OKIMOTO! WE HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL DAY.
Day 351 – We didn’t go anywhere today. It was 85 degrees with no breeze. We figured it’d be a slow day for the Elk, too. Ugh. We saw Deer at the campground near our site this morning and again tonight. We did several days cooking in the morning to avoid the worst of the heat – a Mexican Casserole. Tomorrow we are leaving for Billings, MT and a one-night stay at a KOA Campground with full hook-ups. I would think we’d have a signal there, in Billings, and could begin sending out the blog posts again.
