Leaving Yeloowstone we have dropped in elevation quite a bit and the temperatures have risen dramatically, thank goodness. After a fabulous scenic drive out of Yellowstone National Park dropping through a canyon
and more stunning rocks we finally hit the prairie - a completely different landscape, vast and rolling, mountains faintly in the distance on all sides but just long stretches of grassland and more deer then i could ever shake a stick at. It was a long drive broken with an overnight motel stop- bizarre little place - meticulously clean, spotless bathroom but some slightly unsettleing purple plastic on the floor in the room - I couldn't help wondering what it was keeping in or out... and we stopped in a place called Shoshonee which was a very peculiar experience. Classic small run down town in the middle of vast nowhere...Again everyone we spoke to - in the library, in the visitor centre, in the diner were really friendly but the place was the most run down place I have ever seen, just block after block of tumble down shed sand trailers and then there would be a new post office!! we asked someone for a suggestion for a diner and they sent us tothe senoir Citizen lunch club!!! We gave it a miss and found a cafe but obviously we are now officially grey nomads!!
