We have been busy lately. After Goblin Valley we headed toward Moab which is the town adjacent to Arches National Park. We stayed in an Rv Park there which was ok. Arches was recommended to us as a cool place to check out so we had i bit of expectation but when we arrived we were somewhat underwelmed. It was alright but it was just hollow rocks and stuff and shitloads of people everywhere. Goblin Valley was much better.
After that the plan was to go through Colorado a bit and check it out, but we eventually decided against it as funds are starting to run low. so we decided to hoon up to Yellowstone which was the one place left on the west side of the USA that we really wanted to see.
We had a night stop over in Firey George which was really nice and we saw some wild horses and big horn sheep which was cool, the following day we drove into Jackson Hole which was turned out to be far from a hole. It was really cool little ski/cowboy town and we ended up getting a nice hotel there because the campground wanted $60 a night. We had a few drinks at this cool western bar that had saddles for barstools and heaps of good beers to choose from.
Next day we drove into Yellowstone. The place surely is magical, feels like your not supposed to be there. We didnt see any bears which sucked a bit but we saw heaps of other wildlife, the best being the herds of Bison. I have never seen Leah so excited to see an animal before, or to see anything before.We were only in Yellowstone for 2 days but it was plenty of time to see most of it.
After that we decided to get to Canada as quick as possible to sell our car and get to New York.
So we ended up driving through the whole state of Montana in a day which was pretty relaxing, there was pretty much nothing to see in Montana the whole way, a few small towns and horizon after horizon.
The customs guy gave us a bit of a hard time again, but he let us through.
We are in Calgary now and about to see if this guy wants to buy the car. we could be in New York in a day or two hopefully.

BISON ARE BIG!!!
They dont really care about the cars, i think they now they will stop for them.
A herd, First wild herd of anything i have seen i think
Some of the other natural springs and geisers, they are everywhere. Thats is bubbling down there.
Old faithful doing its thing
We got this off a ranger when we entered the park
This is at Jackson, they are real elk Horns, there were of these oon each corner of the park
apparently elk loose their antlers once a year, and this is what they use them for around here.
