August 15th-17th   Our 1st border crossing today.  We drove to Roosville Alberta to cross.  I thought I had researched well on crossing so when I declared my 12 ga. shotgun and turned away I was surprised.   Come to find out that because We where heading to Canadian national parks (Banff and Jasper), no firearms are allowed and I could not bring them into Canada.😠  I had two choices, give up the gun or go back to Eureka Montana and ship it home, except we would not be home for 2 months.   Well I was not giving it up so back to Eureka and find a way to ship a firearm.  FedEx... nope... UPS... no, ended up going to a pawn shop and they could ship it to my daughter Kimberly in Virginia.  So $75 dollars later back to the crossing and on to Banff.   We had some great views on the way and seen our 1st Bighorn sheep about a half mile after entering the Banff NP.  Made our way to Tunnel Mountain trailer park and did som...

Bridges Bay Campsite   This is a short stay because we will be coming back next month for a longer stint.  We are staying at Bridge Bay campground inside Yellowstone.

The view from Artist point is beautiful although the trail was busy.  Lots of people.  Lamar valley was interesting. We only seen bison  and a couple of Antelope  this time. Lots of wide open views.  The next day we awoke to a pleasant surprise as four bull elk decided to pay us a visit.  We headed to Norris geyser basin via Haden valley.     If you come be prepared for Bison delays as they tend to block the road often and people love to take pictures..lol Well we spent mos...
