A short day

A few admin issues to deal with early today. Kind of code for a bit of shopping. Sure, Idaho Falls is not Rodeo Drive, but if you are six and on the hunt for a particular toy or if you are after something specific for the kitchen, Rodeo Drive is pretty much useless. I wrote a few days ago about Zac, money and the frustration that I suspect all parents face when watching the purchasing choices of their six year olds (and then probably their continued frustration about the same issues for many...

its a bear, a black bear, its not a big bear...

Not an early rise, but early enough. The park beckons. Lots of excitement from our junior ranger over breakfast. Then he saw the snow piles again. My goodness, it was going to be a long day. The weather forecast was bleak as well - it said snow. Great. Yellowstone, being the second largest lower 48 national park with 2.2 million acres (Death Valley beats it with 3.4 million acres) take a while to navigate, even from the border towns like West Yellowstone. 14 miles to the first "junction". I r...

Sights and Smells

Day two of the Yellowstone adventure. This time, the lower loop. The place of sulfur. Deep in the Yellowstone Caldera. The forecast - snow. Yay. The day started sunny. We started a little later than the previous day and we missed some of the close up bison viewing of the previous day. But only some of it. We also had some of the closest encounters we have had yet. If they had not been deceptively quick and if there had not been countless visitors gored by these huge, lumbering giants every ye...

Animal Magic

We finally made it to Yellowstone today, entering through Roosevelt gateway, an impressive stone arch.  There is a whole administrative town (originally a military base) just inside the gates, with a grand post office, Victorian houses and converted barracks and golden-age-of-travel hotels. Today we drove around the upper loop in the park, starting with the beautiful travertine terraces of Mammoth Springs.   We were hugely lucky to see elk, and buffalo right up close on the verge – they...

Yellowstone National Park

Der absolute Hammer...auch unser zweiter, dritter und vierter Tag im Yellowstone waren traumhaft, unbeschreiblich, spannend und dieses Mal hat sogar das Wetter mitgespielt. Wir haetten locker 1000 Fotos machen koennen, haben uns aber auf 200 beschraenkt :-) Wir haben Hunderte von Bisons (Amerikanische Bueffel), unzaehlige Elche, ca. 10 Koyoten, Springboecke, Gaense, Voegel, Squirrels, etc. gesehen. Die Elche hier sehen zwar eher wie grosse Hirsche aus, aber ...

Drive Back to West Yellowstone

... how close we were to the river! What they don&#8217;t show you is the incredibly friendly service we got from the moment we checked in until the moment we left &#8211; I miss that park already. :(<br><br><br>Right now we are &#8220;boondocked&#8221; at the Baker&#8217;s Hole campground only three miles outside of West Yellowstone. These USFS areas cost only $14 ...

Day 27: Yellowstone National Park

... had just missed an eruption, and the next one would not occur for 90 minutes. The sun was still lower than when we saw it 2 days ago. We stuck around, had breakfast, then watched Old Faithful one more time (3 times, total). I called mom and wished her a happy birthday. We did not stop again until we were out of Yellowstone NP. We decided to visit Grand Teton NP for a few days and arrived at the Colter Bay ...

Day Forty-Seven: Breakdown

... all we've done on this trip it's becoming hard to impress us. Not to dis Waterton. It's really a beautiful place and I'm sure if we didn't do the other parks first, we would appreciate it a lot more. We decided to head down to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. I'm sure we won't be disappointed down there. 10:33 - At the United States-Canada customs. He asked us three questions and he let us go. No I.D. or further questioning. That was easy. 1:00 - Stopped off at some ...

Day of Maintenance and a Courtesy Ticket

... belt and adding more antifreeze I was ready to go get a bucket shower and shampoo by the river. It's always good to be able to get cleaned up after working on the van because of all the dirt and grease I would get on me.<br> Once I got cleaned up I headed back to Gardiner and parked near the entrance to Yellowstone National Park. After working most of the day I was really looking forward to seeing the park the next day.<br>
