Cabin City National Forest Campground, Montana


I'm in a nearly deserted campground just off I-90 just into Montana from Idaho.



Last night I stayed in a ciy park campground on a lake just at the border in north central Washington:



It's been days of driving and not much else.

I went down to Bella Coola and, while it's nice, it's not “stay a week” nice. Their bear viewing platform doesn't open for another week, so there's really nothing to keep me there.

So I've been driving. The plan is to get to the north side of Yellowstone tomorrow and decide if I want to stay there over the Labor Day weekend or go home. To be honest, there's not a lot to keep me there, either. It'll be crowded and there will be no wildlife – August and September are the worst times for that.

So, I'll probably drive through the park on Thursday, camp in my usual spot east of the Tetons and be home late Friday afternoon.

I did stop in the visitor center in a town a couple of days ago and we looked all over the internet for any info om a volcano, but didn't find anything. But, it's so far from anything, who knows.

Sunday, May 13,2018 Mammoth Campground, Yellowstone Not much new. The general pattern of each day is go see the den on the morning, back to camp for lunch and chores and whatnot around noon and then back out in the afternoon to just see what I can see. Along the way, I'm working to get the phone/scope combination working better. Some progress had been made. If I'm not zooming too much, I can get this: From maybe 200 yards. But, large zooms are still not very good. Here is the wolf den with the alpha female sleeping alongside. This was from just over a mile away: And, of course, none compare to the Canon stuff at close range:

Tuesday, May 15, 2018 Mammoth Campground, Yellowstone It was a short day. After spending a chilly morning watching the den: I headed back to camp for lunch. Along the way, I found a black bear – walking across the Yellowstone River bridge! I took that picture through the windshield just as he was leaing the bridge. All the people behaved. The cars coming the other way stopped and waited for him to cross while the line I was in stayed well enough behind that he just walked all the way – right down the centerline. After lunch, I took a nap – for 3 hours! That kind of did my day in.
