Glad everything worked well. Your trip looked great and the pod looked really cosy in that last photo.

Grand Pod- Coleman makes that little grill. It's a charm to use and just the right size for 2 people.

Our trip is done.. 4 hard days of driving and we're home on Long Island. The R-Pod performed beyond our expectations. 3 1/2 weeks and over 6000 miles and no problems. We hit the heat wave in the midwest and the AC worked like a charm, The heat worked well when it hit the low 40's in the Tetons. Hot showers every night, and good food. Our Jeep handled the Pod and the big grades of the west well. Just kept it in 4th and watched the RPM's. We averaged about 10MPG, I was driving pretty fast 70- 75 MPH average.

Now we plan for our next trip.. possible Adirondacks in a couple of weeks.

!!! Great pictures. Looks like you are having a wonderful time. Thanks for sharing with us. I have enjoyed following you on this adventure and know your students will benefit from you trip as well.

How did your Jeep handle the mountain passes of Wy? Who makes the Propane grill you are using? Looks like the right size for traveling.

Tom

Again, thanks for sharing!!!!!

I think I fixed the access problem to the pictures. Looks like we'll be high-tailing it home through the midwest heat over the next few days. In North Platte, Nebraska- 94 degrees, we miss the 59 degree Tetons!

We were about 5 feet from that snake! We spent the last 4 days in the Tetons, staying in Colter Bay. There was no WiFi available so I couldn't post. Now we are in eastern Wyoming. Here are the pictures of the Tetons and our trip across Wyoming.

Wow; Looks like you really had a good time in Yellowstone. I hope your doing great; Haven't heard from you in several days, keep those pictures coming.

Hopefully next May I'll be making a trip from FL out west to the Grand Canyon; Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Custer SD. Traveling the southern states first while it is still cool ( hopefully) and getting to Yellowstone around June 1st.

I have really enjoyed your post.

The oil spill is North of the park by about 100 miles. The Yellowstone River travels north, so the park is safe.

This as some awesome place. Saw 3 grizzlies, and a black bear today.

I really had no problems on the Interstates, on some of the smaller roads we just slowed down a bit, but we got up the hills. I'm getting about 10MPG. On the days we want to make some ground we generally travel about 450-500 miles/day. That allows time for a couple of stops.

We made it to Yellowstone's Edge RV Park, just north of Gardiner. MT and the North entrance to Yellowstone.
Just a couple of new pictures today.

Today we traveled to Devils Tower then across Montana on rt212 through Northern Cheyenne and Crow lands to the Little Big Horn battle site. Staying at 7th Ranch RV Park in Garryowen, MT. This place is spotless!

We can now see hints of the Rockies in the distance. I also had the high honor of meeting Chief Joseph Medice Crow in a local cafe.
A Bronze Star recipient for his actions in WWII, He performed the 4 required coups to be named Chief during the war. He also is a recent recipient of a Presidential Medal of Freedom. I met him once before in Wash. DC. What a thrill to see him again. He's 98 years old.

So, happy you made it to the Mammoth Site. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Great pictures. Back in the day, I used some of my pics and info from there in some lesson planning. I, too, taught 5th, and 6th, and 7th and 8th, and 4th, and 2nd. Somehow I missed 3rd grade during my 33 years in the classroom.

Treasure your time with your school kids, as it sure seems to go fast!

Thanks for the feedback! I wouldn't dare take the pod on the Needles hwy. To tight and too many narrow tunnels. Not a good idea,
Mammoth dig site is located in Hot Springs, about a 40 min. drive south of Rapid City.

We chose to camp close to Rapid City because it's centrally located. We are at the Flying J campground. We are literally on the side of a terraced hill overlooking the city.

Today we visit Deadwood and Sturgis

I've started a new page for photos,

A couple of questions for you; !: Did you stay at any of the campground in Custer State Park, if so how was it ? 2: Did you take the R-pod through any of the tunnels in Custer State Park? 3: Where is the museum with the Mastadones located ?

Thanks
