This was one of our favorite Harvest Hosts. They had designated sites for the campers that they were hosting. The owner was nice and interesting and told us all about how he designed the property. There was a coffee shop that had local art for sale, a cheese shop, and more. (Harvest Host).
Buffalo Bill State Park, Cody, MT - July 14 - 17
Cody is a cute town, with a lot of celebration of Buffalo Bill and the Old West. We were surprised to find a Lebanese restaurant, Sitti's Table, where we had one our best lunches on the road. This was the first time seeing white pelicans since FL in Jan 2022.

Craters of the Moon National Monument, Arco, ID - July 5
Several volcanoes erupted and then exploded, and created this unique and intriguing landscape. The park had just received a super bloom designation on the day we were there. Although they can be challenging to see in the photos, little flowers covered the ground surfaces.
Diamond P Grassroots Bison, McCammon, CO - July 4 - 5
We got to take a wagon ride through the bison field at this bison farm. Our host was knowledgable and shared lots of information with us. We were allowed to feed the bison from the wagon, but not allowed to touch them. They have long tongues that you have to get the food past. This is where Colleen's love of bison began! (Harvest Host)
Permaculture Paradise, Dinosaur, CO - July 1 - 2
We stayed on a piece of property next to the interstate. (Harvest Host)
