Wandering around the Yellowstone

Friday, August 18 – Thursday, August 24 (continued)

RVSue and her canine crew are camped at Pelican Fishing Access Site beside the Yellowstone River in Montana.  This post is a continuation of the previous post about a morning excursion.

The crew and I leave Bratten FAS and follow Frontage Road to check out Indian Fort FAS, located on the Yellowstone at the little village of Reed Point.

Reed Point, between Columbus and Big Timber, Montana

Reed Point is a scene out of the past . . . except for that string of Christmas lights (upper right).

While we roll along, Reggie and Roger rest quietly. The walk in the field where we met the horses was good exercise for them . . . and for me.

At the grain elevators in Reed Point the Perfect Tow Vehicle turns left.

Over the Yellowstone, we turn left again into Indian Fort FAS.

It being a weekend, the camping area is packed with RVs, vans, and tents, as well as various types of floats and boats and the trailers that haul them.

The meanders of the Yellowstone, along with the gently sloping bank and beach area, allow easy launching of water craft.  I assume this is the big draw to Indian Fort.

People seem to be everywhere!

I don’t take photos because it would be intrusive to do so.  On the way out I do capture this scene (below) from a distance, then zoom in on it during editing.

If I recall correctly, there isn’t a camping fee at Indian Fort (Blogging with a time delay challenges my memory!).

Even though the camping area probably has a quieter atmosphere on weekdays than what I experience today, I’m not interested in moving our camp to Indian Fort.

On the return to Reed Point, we stop for the train.

It’s a long one, typical of trains in the West!

We return to our camp at Pelican FAS.  

Well, that was an interesting drive . . . and it’s not even noon yet!

Late in the afternoon Reg, Rog, and I go up to the bridge.
