RV Travel - Billings, Montana - Things to Do and a Great RV Campground Review!
If Billings, MT is on your schedule or you are heading through there to another place we have a great campground for you to stay at right off of the highway. We really enjoyed our stay at Yellowstone River RV Campground. #RV #rvtravellife #rvcamping #rvlife

I love to check out the pictographs every where we go and this cave was interesting, there were actually 2 caves to see and the visitor center had great information. Displays also included some of the artifacts.
The Yellowstone Wildlife Rescue in Red Lodge was great to see and we really liked walking and shopping in Red Lodge. We will add that little town to our bucket list for a future stop.
The Billings fair was going on and we got tickets to the Rodeo, which was in an indoor arena so that was very different from other rodeos we have been too. Nice seats with backs!
It was a quick visit to Billings and we restocked, did laundry and got ready to another few days of travel to Medora, ND.

Great dry fly day! One of our better days fly fishing in of our Hyde Drift Boat on the Missouri River from Craig to Mid Canon take out this season. I lost a number of trout today - fishing with 5X tippet and putting too much pressure on them will do that.

Thanks for showing us around, much appreciated. Very informative. Can't wait to get back down there.
History and wild life! Some of my favorite things! Thanks for sharing!!!
The more boring relative of boom chacalaca
They remind me of chickens after a while of watching them...and they are loud!
I’ll be there next summer! Going to Kentucky for work and Nashville isn’t far.
Oh you gotta go to Gus's!! Put it on the bucket list of places to eat.
@@HerronsOnTheFlyI was in Nashville back in February and ate at Pork Leg Porker and it was incredible. Next time I’m definitely going to Gus’s
We will have to try that out...thanks.
So cool oh my God I wish I was there. I heard the food is good. My cousin went through once and I live in Phoenix Arizona. That’s a far far away, but my cousin went there. I think he lives there he does.❤🎉🎉😝😜🤪😎😛😋🍗🍗
Check out Gus's website because they are expanding all over the country! It is the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. I hope you get to check it out yourself one day.
We stopped by Marquette on our way to Furnace Bay Campground (also on Superior). Didn't see your rig. Much calmer yesterday. I hope it is calm when we cross Mackinac Bridge.
We are going to Mackinac as well and I agree about calm weather when crossing the bridge. Our first visit here and it is beautiful! Have fun and travel safe!
Having the river to yourselves is always amazing!
Yes it is. It doesn't happen very often though. Hope you guys are doing good and travel safe!
Funny. We were there today.
Wow - I wonder if we passed each other!
Have fun guys!! Looks wonderful
Thank you! Will do!
What’s your drift boat look like? I’ll stop and educate you next time I see you. Stay safe!
It is a Hyde Contender - green and white. We have about 40 other fishing videos and the boat is in almost every one of them. Thanks for the offer.
They’re not even wearing life jackets…. As said when not wearing life jackets. No one cares more about saftey than jet boaters. It’s you floaters than are required by law to move. I’m sure you got laughed at by “the proper authorities!”
Well when you are almost 70 years old and out of your drift boat wading no one cares but your own family. It is all fun and games until someone gets hurt. I doubt we will ever fly fish the Snake again.
Understandably, you're frustrated out of your ignorance of how these boats operate. Jetboats must keep their speed up to stay on plane. Slowing them down sits them lower in the water which can be catastrophic in shallow sections of water. The boat actually makes a much smaller wake while up on plane like that than if it were to go slow. Also, when navigating the river they rely on memory for sections like that. Once committed into a section like that there is no slowing down and no turning around. It requires commitment. I promise you the captain of that boat wished you no harm and wants to share that beautiful environment with you. Be mindful that we all enjoy the outdoors in different ways. Just because you don't like the way someone else is enjoying it doesn't mean that they are in the wrong.
I agree we all have the same right to enjoy nature. Because of the danger we felt on the river we will probably never drift or wade fish the Snake again. My husband is almost 70 and we have always felt safe drifting and wading the over 70 rivers we have been on. Not so much after that experience...he would have died if he had still been in the water.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting.
How do you handle getting your vehicle and trailer down river to your take out spot?
We use the local fly fishing shop, Headhunters in Craig, that offer a shuttle service. Depending on where you put in and take out the cost can vary because of the mileage. Usually it costs us between $35 and $45 dollars a shuttle plus we leave the driver a tip. You can have them lock the car and keep the keys at the fly shop if you have an extra set of keys or leave the keys somewhere in the truck. If you are fishing other rivers stop at a fly shop and they can refer you to a company that shuttles. Some of them arrange payment online.
You went to Hawaii in your RV ? 😎 awesome
No we did not ship the RV over to the islands...but we have visited several of the islands over the years. We are counting it anyway!
That museum looks amazing! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks for watching!
Can you drive in past the dam? Or do you have a to hike all the way?
Yes there are a couple of parking areas past the dam. You will reach a point where the road stops. Listen for the sirens and move out of the water if they sound them. That happened to us both days we fished it. The water did not rise that fast. Have fun..watch for snakes and carry bear spray.
Yep...see notes below from my personal account..glendaboyer8760. I forgot to switch it over to the HOTF site...thanks.
Wow amazing beautiful video. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! It was a very special night, we felt very lucky to get a moonless clear sky.
Wow big amazing ❤❤
It is always fun traveling around seeing all these roadside gems.
Hi Mike, Ed Reiner here. A blast from the past. I would ask how life is treating you, but I can see from your blog you have a great life. I didn't know how else to contact you. I have a question. I retired a few years ago and we are planning on making some life changes. My questions, in your travel would there be 2 or three locations you would recommend for a second home or to relocate to. In a mountain or western community not too big and not to small with good climate and of course some of the benefits we need as we age. I look forward to hearing what you say.
Hi Ed! We are on the road for a few days heading to MN. We will get back to you after we give this a few days of thinking and when we get our Starlink set up again!
Hi Ed nice to hear from you. That is a major question you just asked. Well lets start with what are your intrests? Because if you like snow and skiing then we don't send you to Arizona. So send me a note back to my with a list of what intrest you. Climate, activities and medical needs. We have been to 48 states I'm sure we can figure something out. Also add cost of living that would work for you. Mike Email: Herronsonthefly@gmail.com
@@HerronsOnTheFly Good morning, Good questions, Unlike you I did not have a good plan when I retired. In fact I would still be working but my wife was pressuring me a little. She has hobbies and interest, I don't. Here is the situation, first it is time to give up the California dream, traffic, taxes, politics and crime. We both are in good health but future health care is important. We would like mild weather not to hot not to cold with season and a light snow would be OK. We have family in Scottsdale but that is too hot and good tax wise. A Bozeman type town. I would move back Lewisburg but for her family that is to far. We have been to Boise, loved it. Jackson WY to cold, Bozeman to cold, loved Utah not sure if it is the right fit. We are going to Grand Junction CO in a few week. I'm looking forward to it. Financial we are good. There is one place in CA that could be a option that is Paso Robles. Does that help. Lookin forward to what you have to say and more about your travels. Also here is my personal email. edwardreiner@gmail.com Regard Ed
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for your video, great help.
Glad it helped you! Mike does almost 90% of our repairs and we both thought this one would be good to post for others.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! Always great to see familiar places! Sorry I missed Mike playing the guitar 🎸!!
Next time we will all have to sit out one night and listen to some music! Hope you guys are having fun and traveling without issues.
Nice video Mike. Enjoyed meeting and talking to you and Glenda on the Madison that afternoon. We fished three rivers last week there in Montana. What an experience! Good luck and tight lines ! I had the little tiffin motorhome.
Hi there! So nice to hear from you and sounds like you had a great time on your visit to Ennis and the area. Hope everyone got in safely and back home without issues. Stay in touch..you never know when we might see each other on the water!
Mike and Glenda, nice video. I really liked the guitar at the end. Nice work, Mike. Maybe next year we can have a jam session. See you on the Missouri! Jack.
Sounds good to me. We enjoyed meeting you guys. Hopefully we'll see each other again. Tight lines Mike
Great job of editing Glenda! Your videos are great!!
Thank you so much Debbie!
Very cool place! Creativity mixed with nature - what could better?!
Couldn't agree more!
That hole below the put in its awesome. Good job guys. Was this just recently?
Thanks. Yes it was around the 3rd week of July. Several days later we did the same drfit and it was good but not like this day. You never know what you are going to get, always fun though.
Not very good tischerman if you glance aged from dam all the way to spring creek and just got whitefish
Hi, new river for us to fish and yes it was tough. We have been fly fishing - Mike over 55 years and I have been for over 15 years. When you get on new water there is always a learning curve. I guess you did not watch the entire post because we did get into Trout on our following trips down the river. Great place to fish. Not sure what you mean by glance aged?
Wow - what a great day! Love the music and your hats!! Glenda - you make your fishing loving father proud!!!
Thanks and funny that you mention Dad because I think of him often while I am fly fishing. I do remember watching him fly fish once when we went on a hike in the mountains of Pa.
It’s such a beautiful river and beautiful fish! They are big! It’s amazing!!
You are right - it is beautiful on the Missouri River. I love all the wildlife you get to see as well. We saw mountain goats this year which was a first for us there.
Well that should keep you guys coming back. Great day on the water. Hope to see you again next year 😄
Well you and Nancy are enough to have us want to come back there!!
Good for you folks, certainly helps to have bugs for fish to feed on. Perseverance paid off.
Thanks! Yes the hatch was amazing on a couple of days which really made it fun. Some times almost too much of a hatch...too much competition for our bugs. LOL
Still a beautiful day!
I agree..any day on the river is awesome!
Way to keep Mike honest Glenda
Well somebody has to do it...haha!
Beautiful 🤩
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
Thanks, appreciate you taking time to comment.
Beautiful Fish! Beautiful people!
You are so sweet - thank you and right back at you and John!! So glad we met you both.
Wow
Thanks Jackie!
Happy Birthday, mine is today July 14th, a little older than you 73. Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm sure you will.
Well Happy Birthday to you!! Mike and I hope you have a wonderful day and celebrate your life. Thank you for the nice comment.
Your also very fortunate to have a wife that can and will row. My wife can cast well but would have us going in circles with the oars. Or maybe my wife just likes to be up front 😂.
Nice cast. I think you should share some of your flys with your closest neighbor.
Well come on over and we will share our secrets!
Thanks!
What a good looking couple, smart, intelligent, and witty too. I bet you make a great neighbor. :)
Thank you so much for the nice comment! We appreciate you taking the time to join us and stay in touch!

How nice of you to say that...we appreciate you! I bet you make a great neighbor too!
In public waters you have to take the good with the bad.
Yes, we all have to share the water with each other and hope that everyone is safe.
Thank you for sharing your medical emergencies! This is important information. We would not have thought about this ahead of time. We hope and pray all is well with you both!
I am so glad that it was helpful for you. Yes, we are doing great thanks for commenting. Travel safe and good health to you.
Thank you! We love your "Honey Do List!"
Thanks..there is always something that needs attention! Isn't there?
Love to fish hopefully I will when I retire...😅
You can do it!
Great adventure, nice boat!
Many thanks!
Oooooh, I had some of those beautiful days in which they close the water of the dam. And well hiking it is…..
Wow , yes hiking it is for sure. I wish we had a raft that day it might have be easier. Beautiful place.
