It really stinks when you can't get Wi-Fi to do your blog! I'm so sorry guys, it took a bit for us to get to a campsite that had Wi-Fi that would work.
How 'bout I start where I left off? We left HiValley campsite on the 31st to head toward Kooskia to visit my great Aunt Rosella and great Uncle Bill. We parked our RV in Kamiah, ID, in Long Camp RV park. http://longcamprvpark.com/ Usually they do a market there every Saturday, but it was pretty small that time. We stayed two nights, from the 31st to the 2nd. We're in September now! Yay! Now, on Saturday night (The 2nd) we stayed near Grant-Kohrs Ranch. https://www.nps.gov/grko/index.htm Man, was it cool! We got to see a giant house on the farm and some big horses and how they would run things. The house had 14 bedrooms! Can you believe that!?
Now we are in Bozeman, Montana. We got here got here Monday and we were suppose to leave yesterday, but the truck was making a weird noise, so we had to take it to the shop. We aren't sure if it's the turbo or the exhaust manifold that's having issues. We might be leaving today to go to Yellowstone, but it depends on when we get the truck back from the shop.
We had a really amazing experience yesterday! We went to the Museum of the Rockies! https://museumoftherockies.org/ A dinosaur museum! It was awesome seeing all the bones and artifacts. Jack was going crazy! He loves looking at dinosaurs. He was running all over the place showing us every thing. But this museum isn't just about Dinos, there was also native American stuff, cars and guns, and a crocodile exhibit! My favorites were probably the dinosaurs and the crocs. We got to see live crocs in side the museum! One had tried to get close to another, and it attacked the one getting too close to his personal bubble. It was cool and scary. Thank goodness they were smaller ones. :D One of the Dinosaur rooms had a full skeleton of a T-Rex! One of the workers there told us that it was the only Dinosaur that was found with it's "Belly Ribs" still in tacked! The belly ribs were under the main ribs. They pretty much looked like ribs, but upside down. This is the skeleton that has the belly ribs.
The skull behind us is the biggest T-Rex skull ever found!
I will write soon. Next stop, Yellowstone! ;D

I was waiting for your next post--love this one and the pics! I would love to see the dinosaur museum! When I was younger than you, Montana was my favorite state. I had them send me postcards, maps, and all kinds of things. I made a Montana scrapbook, too. I've actually never been there--enjoy it for me!

Wow! I never really thought about Montana until now. I cannot believe how many mountains there are! It's so beautiful here! Do you still have the scrap book?
DeleteOH I love dino museums! I was born in dinosaur country in Utah, I grew up hanging around these museums. Try to visit the museum in Price Utah. There is a dinosaur there that inspired the velociraptor in the movie Jurassic Park. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That's cool! I'll add it to the list of things to do. ;)
DeleteWe are still in CA. Love reading about your experience in the dinasour mussem.
ReplyDeleteI know Jack was real excited. I remember his excitement at the discovery center. I am enjoying your blog. You're doing a fine job sharing your trip.
Thank you. Yeah jack loves museums.
