You get to the Yellowstone County Museum by going to the Billings Logan International Airport. Really. The tiny airport grew and the museum stayed put and wound up on the airport grounds. This is the TARDIS of museums – it s bigger on the inside that the outside.
Yellowstone Animals
In Yellowstone National Park the animals are everywhere. Visitors are advised that these are wild animals so keep your distance: 25 yards for grazers, 100 yards for bears and wolves. Here are pictures of some of the animals we saw this trip with links to last year’s.
Yellowstone Scenery
We were in Yellowstone National Park last July with some of the kids and grandkids, but this year, later in the year, we’re here with my cousin Bill and his wife Diana. It’s different in the fall. You can compare this visit with last year’s visit.

On the hillside there was apparently a carcass, maybe elk. A grizzly and several wolves were there for the feast. I watched the grizzly running away with maybe a haunch. The wolves were there too at the top of a ridge.
There’s an App for That… and a Website… and Hardware

Home Again
Our epic 2018 Summer journey is over. We’re back home after 54 days away from Phoenix’ heat. Some milestones are presented.
There’s an App for That
There are some apps for my iPhone that are indispensable for automobile travel. A free downloadable map program. Finding off-beat attractions. AAA, your auto insurer, weather, and more are recommended. Including one that provides a tour guide in your car, virtually.
Roadside Waterfall
After leaving Yellowstone, a “rest” stop was requested. Even the roadside rest stop had a waterfall.
A Photo Study of Dead Trees
Yellowstone has waterfalls, animals, and scenery… and dead trees! Which are fascinating. To me.
