Moved a bunch of times

We've moved a bunch of times. We left Peter D's in Sheridan, WY and went to Parkway Trailer and RV park  in Cody. Wyoming. The park was just OK but I don't think we would stay there again. The town was nice and it's close to Yellowstone N.P., so we made the drive into the park one day. The drive on the way was very scenic. The road followed the Shoshone river all the way.
The park entrance. We used Peggy's geezer pass to get in FREE!

Yellowstone lake and you can see the snow on the mountains on the other side of the lake. We've seen a lot of snow this year. We drove up high enough that we could touch it. But I hate SNOW!

A little waterfall right next to the road, but in this picture it just looks like wet rocks;-)

We stopped and had a little picnic at a roadside park on the Shoshone River on our way back from Yellowstone. Katie didn't get in the river.

Katie is so funny, she wouldn't go up the trail because of some weeds across it. She made me come back and move the weeds out of the way. 

Then we moved to Three Forks, Montana and stayed 2 days at Three Forks Market and RV Park, but it was expensive and it was not dog friendly. But right across the street, the Rodeo was in town. So that was some good entertainment. 

Katie likes the horses. It was a half mile walk all the way around the Rodeo grounds and lots of good smells for Katie.

Then we moved to Ennis, MT and stayed at Starry Nights RV park (a.k.a. Ennis RV Park). We had a really nice pull thru site. The town of Ennis is really nice. They have The Burnt Tree Brewery and across the street was Willie's Distillery. We had lunch at The Gravel Bar. A funny name for a bar but, they had good food. 
From Ennis we took a drive to Virginia City, an old time mining town that still has the original buildings. 
And yes, we stopped at The Bale of Hay Saloon to test the Missouri
River Cream Ale they had and it was good. Great, old bar.

The Blacksmith shop.

We started to look at the next park we were going to in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho and we figured out that we had a site with no sewer! Oh, my mistake! So we called and cancelled that site. We cannot go a week without a sewer! I made that reservation, I screwed up. So we called a park in Logan, Utah and got in. We have stayed at this park before. So that's where we are now.

Infested Again

 We are in Sheridan, WY at Peter D's RV park. it's a nice little park . We were here way back in 2015. We like Sheridan. It's a nice, little western town. The only bad thing is we've been infested with millers (small moths). Every night at about 10:00 they start coming out. We have killed as many as 35 in the RV per day. I set up a bowl of soapy water under the microwave with the light on and catch 15 on average a night. We've had infestations before. Back in Michigan we had 10,000 lady bugs on the side of the RV and I think we got 5,000 of them inside the RV. It took us 6 months to get rid of them. Then in South Carolina we got infested with "Stink Bugs" (a.k.a. Ugly Bugs) and in California in a nice park we got infested with tiny ants. They were the worst! We'll never go back to that park.

We just hope we don't get infested with these guys. Wolf Spiders! This guy is staying in his home under the picnic table so far.


Our site at Peter D's. 
We've had some wildlife right here in the park. Here's a mule deer with velvet on his antlers. 

The weather hasn't been all that good. We have not had 2 days in a row without RAIN for the last month! 

We love the downtown in Sheridan. It's still alive with a lot of good shops and a couple of good bars. Our favorite bar is the World Famous "Mint Bar" it was established in 1907. It has a lot of western history in it. 

We met Matt and his dog Chewy in the Mint. Chewy is the local bar dog. He runs up and down the bar top meeting people and might get a treat or two, (mostly from Peggy).

They also have 3 pretty good Breweries in town, Smith Alley Brewery, Black Tooth Brewery and Luminous Brewhouse.
This is Smith Alley Brewery. They opened the main floor and installed the brewery in the basement. You can see the Mint across the street.

We met Paul and Deanie in the park and went to the Luminous to have a Beer. They are full time and are from Sheridan. They winter in Quartzsite, AZ.

Flash back to the old snow skiing days. Way back to the old Tioga motor home days.
