There’s no better way to start a day than with a can of Red Bull!

Hey, there’s something you don’t see everyday in South Florida!

This is Kim and Brandon at Spasm Geyser.

I think Kim was trying to make out with me but I was like blegh!

Me and Brandon at Old Faithful!

We almost froze to death taking this picture! That’s Lake Yellowstone or Yellowstone Lake or something. It was frozen!! (plz note Red Bull in hand!)

…so then we’re driving East and we come upon this beast eating roadkill! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! She peed on her find as soon as she saw us coming and started heading for the side of the road, but I guess she took our slowing down as a sign that she should go back and finish her meal (fresh pee and all). We sat there for quite a while waiting for her to finish and get out of the way. It was amazing! I hope I’m never that hungry.

Oh, hey, we found snow!

Lots of snow!!

Oh, man! I totally forgot about this place… We had been driving for a few hours and pounding the Red Bull! I think Brandon and I had each drank 8 cans by then. Well, I had to pee like REALLY REALLY bad so we stopped at Pahaska Tepee outside of Cody Wyoming. Check this out, I got out of the truck and waked to the bathrooms. I started to pee and was going for a good 15 -20 seconds before Brandon walked in. He peed and left and I was STILL peeing! It was like Austin Powers’ pee, and then some! That was something to be proud of!! Anyway, I think I bought some jerky and Red Bull and we were on our way again.

This is definitely not 95 South!

Rodeo Capital of the World!

We stopped at this place in Cody Wyoming for lunch. I’m really bummed I can’t remember what it was called, but that doesn’t really matter… The place was huge and when we walked in it was like a scene from a scary movie. The place was freakin’ deserted! We’re standing there like…??? I was waiting for a piano to start playing by itself and ghost cowboys to pop out and start shooting us. It was really bizzare! The freakiness didn’t even end there! We made our way to the back of the place which turned out to be the bar and when we walked through the swinging doors it was like we had scratched the needle off of a record and stopped the party music, because everybody (apparently locals there to get their afternoon drink on) stopped their conversations and stared at us. I was waiting for someone to be like “zOMG BROWN PEOPLE!!! GET THE ROPE!!!”
Anyway, lunch was pretty good and they had a couple of hot waitresses so all was not lost.

Me and Sadie

Kim and Sadie.
We drove on to Custer South Dakota that day. Up until this point I had made our hotel reservations online before we even left Othello, but since I didn’t know where exactly we would end up 3 days down the road, I we didn’t have a place lined up to stay in South Dakota. We stopped at some hotel in Custer, but they didn’t take pets. They advised us that The Rock Crest Lodge was the only lodging in the area that allowed pets. We turned around and went back to this place and that’s where we spent the night.

Three years ago today, we woke up in Coeur d’Alene Idaho. I’m the fat guy on the right (haw haw you can’t see me because my layout sucks, and I’m too lazy to resize these pics.), and what you can’t see is that the pointer finger on my right hand is bleeding. It got smashed between my fat ass/chain from my wallet and the rock when I jumped up there. I guess that’ll teach me!

We drove across Idaho and entered the great state of Montana, We stopped at the $10,000 Silver Dollar Bar (I must have lost my google mojo because I couldn’t find an actual site for this place!) in Haugan. I had traveled to Montana (and beyond) many many times with my family, and we would always stop there, so I had to show it to my friends too. Brandon tried to count all of the silver dollars on the walls, but we didn’t have enough time for him to finish.


Kim and Brandon tried on new hats! I don’t remember what all we bought there, but I’m pretty sure I bought a hat or 2 and I think maybe Brandon bought a belt buckle. And I kind of remember him buying some trinkets for Kim. Oh, and Kim and I smashed some pennies!

We drove on and a while later we needed to pull over to replenish our in-cab supply of Red Bull and let Sadie pee.

We picked a great spot to stop! We literally just pulled off of the road and there was a trail that lead to a river’s edge. Here’s a dumb little video from there.

I took this picture while we were stopped there.

We found this there too!!

I wish we had “Kum & Go” on South Beach! I made Brandon exit the interstate or whatever main road we were on so we could stop and I could say I went to “Kum & Go”! I think I bought Red Bull and jerky.

Then we drove and drove and drove and outside of West Yellowstone we saw a couple Wolves in a field. They’re there if you know where to look. I swear!

We spent the night at West Yellowstone. It was slim pickens for places to eat after 9 PM and the womens were nowhere to be found. There was a busload of AZNS at the lodge we stayed at, but they didn’t seem to know much english. =(

With all the anticipation of spending the next day traveling through Yellowstone, it was kind of hard to sleep that night!
