    • Salt Lake City

      15. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      Day 13: The roadtrip must go on. Today we got to Salt Lake City. Well usually it is just a short ride. Usually. We were navigated to the centre of Salt Lake City. When we were there we recognized "oops we wanna go to the Salt Lake". Short trip? No way! It takes about 1/2 hrs to get there. It was so stinky and very huge.
      Afterwards we were looking for a campground. Not that easy! We drove across the whole city finding nothing usable. At all we stoped at the KOA-Campground which was full - for sure. But we found a kind woman from Reno on a RV parking lot there. She allowed us to park our car on her area. Guess how much we paid. You're right - nothing! 🙈
      After resting a lil bit we went out exploring the city. How we recognized quickly that city is full of tons of Mormons 🙄 so we had a look at there quarter. Right they got a huge quarter of the city for their temple and so on. People were everywhere.
      Then we went to a book store where Antonia was buying some books especially Wild we saw the film of during the flight.
      The last church we visited was the Cathedrale of the Madeleine. The first one was a Buddhist temple.

      And okay... it was very very hot. What do you want if it is hot? You're right​! Ice cream! So at the end of the day we was looking for ice cream. But it was almost 9 and everything was closed. At all we found a gas station. We bought a huge frozen milk shake there. And... and we got a free large drink. That is how the US is going 🍹
      When we returned to the campground we had the most amazing ride when a stuff member picked us up with a golf car to bring us to "our" RV. 🚗🌫

    • Twin Falls

      14. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌫 28 °C

      Day twelve: We left Grand Teton in the direction of our next state - Idaho. This day offered not so much activities but the nature in Twin Falls is wonderful. We saw the Perrine Bridge Overlook wich best outlook we couldn't take a photo of because it's on the bridge. The Shoshone Falls were as powerful as the Niagara Falls. Okay closely. The story behind the Twin Falls is funny. We were looking for it but also found one waterfall - no twins. Somebody told us that the second one was killed to get energy by hydropower. So they actually have to change the name of the city.
      On the way we also found a mysterious church called "The church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints". The church itself looked beautiful but the people and their faith were strange.

    • Grand Teton

      13. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Day eleven: We drove to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone h iking down to a powerful m waterfall. You could see how the water was finding their way thru the valley.
      After we returned to our car we were leaving the Yellowstone in the direction of Jackson in Grand Teton. There we needed to wash our clothes, buying some eating stuff and checking the wifi (after about 6 days 😱)
      Afterwards we were going to a national forest. So we got another camping night for free 🙌 A lot of wild life lived there between all the tents and we had an amazing view at the sunset on the mountain side.

    • Yellowstone ll

      12. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Day ten: We such had a relaxed beginning of the day. We slept until around 9, washed the dishes and got ready for the day. Afterwards we drove to a hiking trail of Yellowstone. There we did a hike seeing geysers🌋 and the Fairy Falls. The geyser was very impressive and interesting. After a 4 hrs hike we returned back to our cars. The feets hurted and we all were really tired. We continued to the Grand Prismatic Spring that doesn't even blow anymore. It is such a hot water hole.
      After we took photos we was going to the Canyon campground searching for an opportunity to stay. And hey we got the next night for free 🙈 On the way to it there was a family of bisons right in front of us on the road that we needed to stop. 🐂🐂🐂
      We were with some French and American people on a campfire. The next day is almost over.

    • Yellowstone I

      11. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Day nine: This night we slept in our car because there was a huge thunderstorm. But we slept well and hey the car was cleaned again. In the morning we went into the forest where we watched the work of the rangers to look up the grown species of plants. After an hour we went back to our car driving in the direction of Yellowstone. The landscape changed so quickly. Suddenly there were nothing than died plants and the whole landscape turned dry. It was a very beautiful view. When we arrived at Cody right in front of the national park we visited a gun store. It was very impressive 'cause in Germany we don't have public stores like that. Afterwards we wanted to visit the Old Trail Town. But it seems nothing special to us so we didn't want to pay entry for that.
      In the Yellowstone we was looking for a campground. On the road we saw about four bisons 🐂 next to the road and the Yellowstone Lake 🏞 Because all campgrounds are full we found some kind Mexican that allowed us to park behind their vehicle on their camping pit. The next camping night for free (actually the third) 🙈
      We met a few people who are moving from Oregon to Texas and combine that with a roadtrip. So they travel with a truck with their belongings in it. Pretty cool!
      At the end of the day we watched an interesting presentation about the animals which live in the park.

    • Devils Tower

      10. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Day eight: We such hiked the wonderful Sunday Gulch before we continued our ride to Devils Tower 🏞 That Trail was recommended by a camper we met at Custer State Park and it was that worst it!
      Afterwards we had a "short" ride to Devils Tower. When we arrived there we found nothing than the tower but it is really impressive! We such saw the Devils Tower and flat land around it. It was created when magma inside the ground was frozen and an earthquake put it to a 867 feet hight.
      In the evening we met some rangers at our campground we talked to.

    • Black Hills

      9. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

      Day seven: The first week is almost over and it was such a blast! Today we started with exploring our first national park - the Badlands. There you can feel the force of nature, it's amazing. Also we saw some wild animals like sheeps 🐑, prairie dogs 🐿 and - the best is comming at the end - two bisons 🐂🐂! Foxes live there as well but we didn't see them. But we heard them in the morning.
      After leaving Badlands we took a road off (what fun! 😈) to Rapid City. There we visited a trade fair for oldtimer. It was that nice! 🚗
      Back on the road we went to Mount Rushmore Memorial in Black Hills and afterwards to Hill City for eating something. We found a nice looking restaurant and chose it for rest. I tried a burger with buffalo meat and national beer from Black Hills. Both were very tasty! 🍔🍺
      When we was done we tried to find a campground and found one at Center Lake in Custer State Park.
      At the end of the day we got to know new campers sitting on the campfire, just hanging. But I was really tired so I fell asleep very quickly.

    • Badlands

      8. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Day six: At the beginning of today we visited an old cowboy town near Sioux Falls. A small rebuild village with buffalos as well. At the shop I got nice looking stickers of all states I've been or I will be.
      Afterwards we continue to a two hrs ride to an Indian Resort. Just one word: Wow! From now to then the nature changed dramatically. We such crossed a lake and boom! No more green, just ocher gras and an awesome landscape. It looked beautiful!
      Then we started our last stage. On this ride we saw about a million ads for Wall Drug. So we just decided to have a look at this. Wall is a cowboy town and the Drug Store sells souvenirs of that.
      An Indian told us that they hate Custer and that they celebrate their Independence Day when Custer died. In Wall they glorify him.
      Very interesting history!
      The Badland NP we didn't see today at all. We will do it tomorrow's morning before we get to Black Hills.
      - The true roadtrip starts now! 🚗💨

    • Sioux Falls

      7. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Day five: The next step is Sioux Falls. On the way we had lunch at our first diner and found my hometown (see the photo below). After an 4 hrs ride we arrived exploring the Falls Park and visiting some churches. We also met our first Indians that recommended a campground for us to stay. The funny thing about that is that this is a campground for famillies with children 🙈 And - really strange - they celebrate christmas in July. (As joke because the kids cannot wait for it 🎅).
      We got very kindly neighbours so we hanged with them on their campfire eating marshmallows. 🍢
      Stay tuned!

    • Minneapolis

      6. juli 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Day four: Today we picked up our car and started the roadtrip. After a 9 hrs ride we arrived at the Mall of America - sweated, tired and ready for bed. But first we had to buy our camping stuff there. The interstates didn't really look that American so far. More than the German Autobahn. But: We did it - First step! 💪
