Yellowstone Day 2

Another great day in Yellowstone. Lots of cool thermal features, but the animals are our favorites. We didn’t have wifi last night and weak data so we are posting this from Billings, Montana. We saw another bear this morning as we were leaving the park, as well as a bald eagle and many more elk. In the mornings when I take Rangeley out I have heard the elk bugling both mornings.

We added this to the bottom of the same page, so just scroll down till you hit day 2.

Yellowstone

Jackson, WY

We are in Jackson, WY enjoying the town and taking an off day. We had initially planned to stay here 3 nights but last night I extended our room for a fourth night. Rangeley is loving the streams we find seemingly in every place we visit. Tomorrow (Friday) we will head up to Grand Teton National Park (20 miles north) and return back to Jackson. Sunday morning we will head up to Yellowstone (60 miles to park entrance). Elizabeth just booked a “cabin” overlooking Yellowstone Lake inside the park for Sunday and Monday nights.

Rangeley got this 6′ stick ….

Great Basin

We are now in Evanston, WY. Very weak wifi in Baker, so that is why we are posting today. We drove 300 miles of the 500 to Jackson. We went grocery shopping and changed the oil in the van. So far we are at about 2,400 miles driven. We will be at over 8,000 when we are done. My car has 50,000 miles on it and it is 6 1/2 years old, so I have been averaging less than 8,000 per year.

Zion

Our busy schedule continues. Bryce yesterday, Zion today, Great Basin tomorrow. We left home 14 days ago and have visited 9 parks so far. We passed a sign today that read Phoenix – 411 miles. We have driven over 1,400 miles so far. Zion was our bail out point when we started this journey. We are heading north tomorrow and have every intention of completing the 27 parks adventure tour.
