For how long this time Blooie?

Until Tuesday. Tomorrow I have to take Katie and Kendra in for their eye exams, since Jen can’t drive. Tuesday we leave for Boise, Idaho for their Grand Lodge, which starts on Wednesday. We’ll be home Sunday and Monday, then leave for Saratoga and Rawlins. Hope Debby’s home so we can get together for a bit. Back home Thursday, then off to Cheyenne on Friday for 9 days. Actually the first Cheyenne thing is a 3 day event, then we visit Laramie, Cheyenne (different Lodge, same town), Guernsey, Wheatland, and then yet a 3rd Lodge in Cheyenne. So we’ll just stay in Cheyenne the whole time and make the hotel our headquarters.

Good morning all! It’s so nice out this morning. The weekend was hotter then heck. 30* cooler today. I shouldn’t complain as others have it horrible. I’m so happy to have windows openI’m going to freeze apple pies and crisp today. Someone gave me some beautiful apples and I will give a pie in return.

Good morning everyone

Wonderful, wonderful trip...wish I was starting it all over again I have a ton of photos but loading them will take me a while. Ahhhh, Yellowstone...one of my favorite places on earth. It was busier than I thought it would be for this time of year but we managed to see what we most wanted.

Sure brought back a lot of good memories of trips there with my family when I was a kid. Spent a lot of time thinking about my dad (and missing him doing the driving instead of me). DS enjoyed himself immensely and is already talking about the next time he goes

Cody was great, loved that town! It's about the same size population-wise as Rawlins (the closest "big" town to us) but the differences were notable. Cody was clean, the downtown was full of businesses, the people were friendly...just a very nice place overall. It's only about 50 miles from the East Entrance to the Park and a very pretty drive past the Buffalo Bill Cody reservoir & park and the Shoshoni river & park, beautiful country-side. @Blooie wish I would have seen your Cody info before we left but we did have dinner one night at a wonderful German restaurant (mmm, schnitzel!).

The mountain driving was a bit scary for me but I managed, although my fingerprints are now permanently grooved into the steering wheel). There's just something not right about 8,000-10,000 feet mountain roads, some don't have guard rails, where you're way above the tree tops.

The animals we saw...grizzly bear (from a long distance ), moose, coyote & her young, bison and white tail deer. Fun!

Ok, rambled enough for now...carry on & have a good morning everyone!

But the VIEW!!!

How do you know she's not a he? And besides, I have spirit guides!

Obviously your spirit guides were talking to your friends that day!

But the VIEW!!!

Who can look at the scenery when you have to watch the road? And watching the other drivers...sheesh, some of those people were just nuts! I made frequent use of the pull outs

Debby, next time you come to Yellowstone we’ll set up Motel 5.5 for you and headquarter our of our place. Then we can do Yellowstone, run down into the Tetons, circle around to home via the A&W in Greybull (still has carhops) and we can take you up into the Pryors for some fossil hunting, go up into the Big Horns for a picnic by the river, hunt for wild horses and Big Horn Sheep on the Wild Horse Range and explore Cody more. You can give the girls and Evan big hugs. Then on Tuesday.....

 

[drumstick diva]

Then "what" on Tuesday Blooie? I would love to visit an A & W again.Best root beer
ever. Way back then there was a rival "Dog & Suds," not quite as good but, a grocery store or two sell their root beer.
