A Snowy Drive to Bozeman, Montana

We wake up to 4 inches of snow!

They are predicting a high of 31 degrees F today, so we are going to drive up to Bozeman, Montana to visit Jere's Dad, who is in Bozeman for an Airstream Rally. It is simply too cold to enjoy any outdoor activities. It snows for most of the ride to Bozeman. We had expected cold, but the snow is a surprise and makes for a slow, long trip to Bozeman.

On our way through the park we see a group of 3 gray wolves eating their recent kill (a baby elk). We have never seen a gray wolf in the wild, so we pull over and watch the wolves.

West Yellowstone, just outside of Yellowstone National Park:

The road north to Bozeman:

After several hours to make our 100 mile trip to Bozeman, we arrive in Bozeman, Montana and have a nice visit with Jere's Dad and Darlene. Jere's Dad is helping to set up for the Airstream Rally, which begins in about 2 weeks. They expect about 800 Airstream trailers there for their annual International Rally.

Our drive home is a lot less snowy. We take a different route and enter Yellowstone at Mammoth Springs instead of West Yellowstone. We stop for buffalo burgers at a little drive-in, The Corral Drive-In, just before entering the park. The burgers are surprisingly wonderful.

We enter the park and then the snow returns as we drive through the park.

We do see another bear, which is always fun:

We eventually get back to the Fishing Bridge RV Park in Yellowstone and call it a day.
