About Us

United Kingdom
Couple of retirees who really enjoy travel - particularly roadtrips to the deserts and prairies. We suspect we must be nomads as characterised by Richard Grant as RV resident retiree nomads in his book "Ghost Riders"

Update from Great Falls, Montana

Tues 27th Sep.
Left motel early and went down the road to Old Trail Town www.museumoftheoldwest.org a collection of old historically important wooden buildings which have been brought to one place. These include three 'Hole in the Wall' hideouts used by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid among others. Graves of notorious persons also re-positioned here.
Then entered Yellowstone via the East entrance. Spent the day there seeing as many of the sights as possible. Mostly the only other people there were old gits like ourselves enjoying the place without the crowds, plus one or two school trips. We left via the North exit and ended up in Livingston, Montana for the night.
So far the trip has been really great, temperatures just about right in the high 60's low 70's and sunny all of the time.
We have now covered 3000 miles on really quiet roads - only going on the Interstates when absolutely necessary. We should have done this a couple of years ago when the fuel was cheaper. We are paying between $2.80 and $2.90 a gallon.
On Thurs we hope to visit Glacier National Park. Will report again after that.
