Camping at Cassandra's

I arrived back in Big Timber today! One of Cassandra's employees from the North 40 is living in the cabin for another week, so I'll be camped out back until she leaves to go back to college.
This spot below Cassandra's house is very peaceful, with a view of the Crazy Mountains in the distance and a short walk to the river below.

That's Cassandra's new addition to her house on the left above my van. I'll be spending weeks painting the inside for her - and maybe the exterior too. The cabin where I'll be staying (behind Judy's house) is on the right.

Grand Tetons and Yellowstone

I woke up to the sound of rapids on the Gros Vente River about 3 miles from Kelly (near Jackson, WY). This is a favorite boondock spot for me when I'm passing through the area. I explored a couple more miles up the road and found another nice spot overlooking the river where I may stay next time. Both spots are only suitable for a small rig like mine.

Yesterday afternoon I passed several bison on the way here.

The Tetons are beautiful peeking out above the clouds.

I always enjoy driving through Yellowstone NP and I stopped near a river for a couple of hours to eat lunch and watch the elk graze. The whole Grand Teton-Yellowstone area is a magnificent feast for my eyes.

Greys River

The Greys River was a place where Rosemary and Holly had been wanting to fish for years. From Kemmerer in SW Wyoming, we drove north on 189, then took the dirt and gravel La Barge Road toward Alpine. It's a gorgeous area and the wildflowers were fab. There's a lot of dispersed camping along the river and we found a lovely spot under some trees along the river. H and R caught some trout and we cooked them over a campfire. We parted company in the morning as they needed to get back to Montana sooner than me.
