Sunday
morning came and we rolled out of bed in the Holiday Inn Express in Gillette.
Our mission today was head down the Feather River Canyon and to visit the Grand
Tetons National Park before heading into Yellowstone National Park to spend the
night. Here are some of the local residents of the parks.
And
me, playing tourist.
Next,
is the scenery from the area.
After spending the night in the Old Faithful Cabins, we
headed to the Headwaters of the Missouri River, since we hit the headwaters of
the Mississippi River on our 2010 wandering. Monday evening we found our way to
Missoula, Montana, after going up and down the mountains in a very large windstorm. Tuesday morning, we
continued across Montana and into the state of Idaho. We continued to follow
Interstate 90, which was built along the
Great Northern Railway Line. The trains have long gone with the merger of the
BNSF, but the towns of Wallace and Kellogg, offer some great station sites.
.
We continued on to Lynnwood, WA which we used as are base for
the three days we would be staying in the Seattle area, visiting family and
seeing Hurricane Ridge and Pacific Ocean in LaPush. We left Seattle on Thursday
morning and headed Nampa, Idaho. We found a very interesting station and train
yard.
We then headed to Meridian, Idaho for the night.
That’s where, we will
continue in the morning…
