Up and out even earlier – 7:00. Already lines at McDonalds
and the entrance to Yellowstone. Yellowstone was very impressive – the plumes
of mist from the geysers and hot springs even more visible in the cold (40
degree!) air. Traffic was light and
pleasant and the scenery beautiful all the way through Yellowstone and into
Grand Teton National Monument, which are barely separated. I’ve never been out
this way and the Tetons just blew me away, especially placed next to the lake
the way they are. I made Dave stop at several overlooks so I could take
pictures.
When we got out of the park there kept being different rock
formations, first painted desert sort of rock, then all red, then twisted tan
sandstone.
We had bad philly steaks in Shoshoni so I had ice cream for
dessert to make up for it. Then after Shoshoni it turns into total flat prairie
forever and ever. We got to Bill and Sally’s about 4, and Josh and Jen got here
about 5:30. We had a yummy dinner with lots of corn. The cabin is wonderful, full of mementos and perfect for
guests. We did much sitting and chatting.
This photo is from the next day and is a spoiler alert: there's Nia in Casper!
