Daily updates to the traveling Busse Bus
At the rally we heard terrible stories about the crossing the border into Canada. We were actually a little apprehensive about doing so. For about 1 1/2 weeks prior we have been trying to drink the Busse Bus dry so we wouldn’t have to pay any taxes. We looked up Read more…
When this area was designated a National Park in 1910 there were 100 glaciers in the vicinity. Today, 108 years later, there are 26. If you are going to come and see them you better hurry before this National Park loses it’s namesake. Based on the recommendation from the RV Read more…
On the way to Shelby we stopped for a quick bite at Wheat Montana Bakery. Real cute place with huge cinnamon rolls and interesting sauces: I don’t really think that this place was around when Lewis & Clark first charted the area. We pulled into our reserved site at the Read more…
When we were in St. Charles, MO (our first stop on this great American adventure) we were at the end of the Missouri River, well Three Forks, Montana is the Missouri Headwaters. So in a sense we have traveled the complete Missouri River – somewhat like Lewis and Clark did Read more…

Breathtaking! Amazing day in upper Yellowstone although we didn’t make it all the way to to Mammoth Springs – had to save something for the next trip. Beautiful waterfalls: The Yellowstone River has two falls, upper (top right) and lower (bottom right) which then flow into the “The Grand Canyon Read more…
So we drive the Busse Bus with jeep in tow through Yellowstone marking all the places we need to come back to visit to camp in West Yellowstone just outside the gate. I chose the West Gate because the North Gate area has three rodeos going on and all the Read more…
Ok, so I plagiarized the title of this post from t-shirts that we saw in Jackson Hole, WY. What can I say, I thought they were funny. However, I didn’t purchase either one – thought that I would look stupid wearing it later. The Tetons are big or dare I Read more…
Beautiful drive up and over the mountains and in the Bighorn National Forest. Snowed / hailed / iced over the pass just before we got there. Cra, cra to have seen snow in July. Nice snaps outside the Busse Bus: Drove past a town called Thermopolis which has a huge Read more…
