Yellowstone Update






























Just got Bill off to the airport(write a post so I know you made it back).
We had a nice drive down to Jackson, as we saw lots of bison, elk, and a coyote. Bill had heard someone say that the main road back to Yellowstone would be closed from 7-9 for a cattle drive, but thank goodness I didn't get stopped by it. I headed into jackson to get groceries and supplies. It is a pretty long drive and I hope not to make more than one every week or so. It would be a very nice place to go when yall come visit.
As I drove back to Yellowstone, the temp was 40 degrees and it was raining pretty hard. Great hiking weather! I did some chores around my house to make it more comfortable (yuck). They
have a small gym in the basement of the ranger station that I have access to, so i'm gonna do that and then see what the weather is like. They even have a punching bag (my shoulder hurts just thinking about that). I plan on going for a longer hike out to this lake either today or tomorrow. I' also going to go and hang around the barn. I can't wait to get out on the trails with them. I put some pics up, hopefully i'm getting better at all this.
-BYE

Where is that waterfall... and how on earth did you get so close to that elk...you must have zoomed in with the awesome camera you have. Anyway, I know you're glad they have a gym there. I was wondering how you were going to get along with no working out... think about using your legs against the punching bag vs. you arm....that might be a good idea. I'm proud of your blogging, and it's great to see the pictures. You're a great photographer. Let me know how it goes with the horses today.Good luck cleaning your "humble abode"- I'm impressed... Love ya!
