Day 75 (8-14-12 - Yellowstone National Park)


We traveled 60 miles to Yellowstone National Park.  Yellowstone NP is one of our favorite places.  We had a nice, pretty ride into Mammoth Hot Springs Campground.


We rode the motorcycle through here three years ago. We loved the area and wanted to come back. This is the first time this trip that we really miss our motorcycle.

It is a gorgeous day, but a little warmer than we are used to.  The wind is howling.  The howling wind, we are used to.

We took a short ride looking around today.  We took several walks in and around the campground. We have spent most of the day relaxing.  We have been traveling pretty hard for the last two days and it is time to take a break.

We are watching herds of elk from our campsite.  On one of our walks in the campground today, we had to go a different route so we would not cross between a momma and baby elk.  We, (or rather me),  did not want to upset momma.


We built a fire and cooked pork chops and Olathe Sweet Corn.  Our nice neighbors in Seattle gave us a couple of ears of OlatheSweet  Corn as we were leaving Seattle.  We ate this corn for the first time last year in New Mexico.  This is our favorite corn.

After stepping on Ferny's paw and making her holler and me jump.  I had to bribe her with her favorite treat to get her to come out from under the couch.  She had her comfort food and came outside while we cooked.  She was as carefree as a cat could be. I hope she don't get fat from all this comfort food. I need to be more careful.

We are without hookups and are utilizing the battery power to have lights. Guess it is time to call it a night.
