Day Six
Woke up at sunrise with a shithead RV-park guard dog running its mouth. Foul creature, but there were at least three stray cats hanging out to balance it out. Two for two on RV park owners being really into the bus. Crucial endorsement. Emptied the black water tank for the first time — without gloves,…

Day Five
Today was NBD — Nothing But Driving. Cruised through the remainder of Wyoming. Noticed a number of Oregon Trail historic markers along the route, but I didn’t stop until Fort Laramie. Bought an old-timey deck of Faro Cards, skipped out on the Sarsaparilla they were hawking. Ate lunch on the bus, then crossed over into Nebraska.…

Day Four
Very chill Saturday. Closest I’ve had to an average, uneventful day on the trip. Woke up in the Military Vehicle Museum lot around 7:30, and got to see Wyoming by day. Gorgeous, striated cliffs all around. Not as stunning as Montana though, tbh. Doubled back to Dubois for internet and coffee. Did not ride the…

Day Three
Great night’s sleep on the bus. Rolled out of West Yellowstone for the park proper at a good hour, but not before I bought a can of Boost Oxygen: Calm from the gas station next to where I parked for the night. Never seen this before — don’t know if it’s to counteract bear panic, road…

Day Two
Light driving day. Slept comfortably, but sporadically. Awake at 6:30. Made it 30ish miles down the road to the town of West Yellowstone. Spent the day anchored in a cozy public parking lot in the center of town. The spot provided the Montana Wildlife Highlight of the Day — three sizable corvids, bopping around a table…

Day One
Hit the road after a breakfast burrito at the Taco Bus. First time I cranked up the bus this morning was the first time I’ve attempted to drive anything remotely close to this size. The sparse, two-lane roads across Montana are pretty ideal for getting the hang of things. Already inured to impatient motorists passing…

Day Zero
Touched down in Montana and was immediately smitten with Big Sky Country. Five minutes after leaving the airport and it’s like, “would you like to see the enormity of geologic time, as well as some wild antelope?” Yes please. Darrin (guy who built the bus) got his buddy to come get me from the airport,…
