Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Wednesday Evening, July 30 & Thursday, July 31 After getting settled into our motel in the town of Jackson, we walked to Sweetwater Restaurant ~ a few blocks away. It was a beautiful evening so we sat outside. (I chose to leave my camera in the motel, so these are cell phone pictures.) My favorite food here […]
Wednesday, July 30 You knew it would soon be coming ~ my last post on Yellowstone. 🙂 While having lunch on the deck at Tower Falls we noticed a young mule deer. There were fifty-plus people walking around the parking lot and in the campground store, but she contentedly grazed along the road ~ unnoticed by most […]
Wednesday, July 30 Our goal for Wednesday was to meander over roads where we had seen wildlife and beautiful scenery on the previous two days. We continued to see bison as we traveled away from the Mud Volcano area. As you can see, the fog had not yet lifted in Hayden Valley. I liked this […]
Wednesday, July 30 We were glad that we arrived here early enough in the day to find a parking spot. I find these boiling, gurgling mud pots interesting and fascinating. This was correctly named, as it gave a continuous deep rumbling sound from somewhere underground. While listening to Dragons Mouth Spring, Cerwin noticed a bison coming over […]
Wednesday, July 30 This was the view from our cabin’s front door ~ about 6:56 AM. I love weed flowers and seed pods. Our cabin at Flagg Ranch. Cerwin taking our luggage to the car. Our rental car. We saw this mule deer shortly after leaving our motel. Pretty morning scenery Those first pictures all […]
Tuesday Afternoon, July 29 We arrived at Canyon Falls about 1 PM. We hadn’t eaten since having coffee and sharing a muffin while waiting for a display from Old Faithful ~ about 7:30 AM ~ so we looked for a place for lunch. We shared a BLT and fries. We spent the next two hours exploring the […]
Tuesday, July 29 We enjoyed the scenery after leaving Old Faithful and headed north to Madison. We headed west after getting to Madison to do the West Entrance drive. I asked Cerwin to stop so I could get a photo of this reflection. As I was taking the picture, I noticed that the reflection was […]
Tuesday, July 29 We left the cabin early (about 6:45 AM) on Tuesday morning to get to Old Faithful before the crowds and saw this coyote a few minutes later. It was right next to our car (on Cerwin’s side), we were moving in opposite directions, and it was still a bit dark ~ my list of excuses for […]
Monday, July 28 As we approached Fountain Paint Pot area, we didn’t know what we were in for. The parking lot was full of cars and buses, and we almost decided to leave ~ but then we saw an open spot and decided to park and see what it was all about. It turned out to be a […]
Monday, July 28 Our first entrance into Yellowstone was through the Northeast Entrance – about 10:00 AM on Monday. We were soon rewarded with our first animal sighting when we saw herds of bison in Lamar Valley. This became an almost common experience in certain areas – bison on the road – as we spent several days in […]
Monday, July 28 (Posted Wednesday evening in Jackson, Wyoming. It’s good to be back online after three days without Internet, cell phone, and TV – but we had a FABULOUS time in Yellowstone. Thankfully we could call our children from our motel room phone at no charge.) We left Cody early Monday morning so we would have […]
Sunday, July 27 We enjoyed a relaxing morning in our motel room. We don’t know anyone in this area and were not familiar with any of the churches, so listened to our own church service from back home. We could do that at 8 AM due to the two-hour time change. We weren’t quite ready for […]
Saturday, July 26 We began our evening at 5:30 at The Cody Cattle Company. They serve a delicious chuckwagon meal. My plateful after going through the line ~ and I chose to not take the tossed salad or beef. 6:30 PM: The music is about to begin. The hour of lively cowboy and bluegrass music was […]
Saturday ~ Morning and Afternoon ~ July 26 We began our day by purchasing a combination ticket for a 9 AM trolley tour of Cody and a two-day pass for Buffalo Bill Center of the West. We had time to relax before the tour, so went inside the dining room to order orange juice (me) and coffee […]
Friday, July 25 This was the view outside our motel window this morning. With sunrise just a bit closer. Before long the hills were covered with sunshine. When we told the desk attendant that we were hoping to seen an animal or two in this landscape, he said, “You never know what will show up in summer. Last […]
Thursday, July 24 We were up early today ~ to be at Dave Hansen White Water by 6:45. No, we were not going white water rafting! We had chosen the more comfortable (for me), scenic, thirteen-mile float down Snake River. After being transported to the river by bus, we were divided into groups of 10 (9 […]
Wednesday, July 23 Though I am posting more than my usual limit of twenty pictures per blog, I eliminated most of the 362 pictures I took ~ to give you the highlights of yesterdays relaxing, delightful day. Our first stop was here ~ to get information for traveling from Jackson to Grand Teton National Park. Our second […]
Tuesday, July 22 I am keeping this online “diary” of our trip – for my benefit and memories. Hope you enjoy it too. 🙂 We flew American because we had enough air miles to make it a free trip. Our check-in went smoothly at Harrisburg. Just after I went through security, and was waiting on […]
I will just post a few pictures from our day, as we landed in Jackson Hole about 7:30 PM Mountain Time, got our luggage and car, found our motel, then went for supper – even before unloading our luggage, because the closest restaurant was closing at 9 PM. It is now 10:17 PM Mountain Time […]
