I love rainbows and a double one is even better

Ripley at Beaver Pond in Bozeman

Ripley loves swimming

seems like all the towns have pretty town signs

valley on the way out of Yellowstone

It takes 8 hours to get to Glacier from Yellowstone.  We spent two nights near Livingston, Montana and two nights in Deer Lodge. This gave us time to explore the areas. We went to Livingston, Bozeman and Phillipsburg. Ripley enjoyed swimming at Beaver Pond in Bozeman, but he lost his tags in the water. We went to Petco and got a replacement tag for identification. Phillipsburg was a quaint town with shops, restaurants and galleries. The big draw in the town seemed to be the candy store, everyone went in that store, including us.

Guy thought mining for sapphires would be fun

so we got a bag and started picking through it

you started by panning the sieve at the trough

Ripley got bored, who wouldn't after 2 hours, we did fine a few small gems

the setting of this RV park was not too desirable that trailer behind the RV was across the river
