And we finally got to Yellowstone Park! And within the first 10 miles of the entrance we saw a black bear, elk and buffalo. All is well with the world…
We are camping with a view of Yellowstone Lake in Grant’s campground on the south part of the park, until Sunday morning and them we will head up the lake north to Bay Bridge Campground for the next 3 days. And then we will probably go to the next one. Since our generators are working it has given us a lot more freedom of where we can camp, so that has been nice. We are paying less than $10 a night so it can’t get much better than that. If only Yuliya would learn to take shorter showers since our water will only last 2 days—but we might just make her start to go dirty. Or make her walk up to the pay showers.
Her hives are still an issue but we think it’s a cheese she ate both yesterday & today. Her eating habits have gotten really weird and who knows what’s doing it. But not my problem—hopefully when she goes to Russia in November her mother will yell at her and make her eat a better balanced meal—she’s trying vegetarian but seems to be missing out on a lot of protein and then thinks pop tarts are ok—I just don’t understand, but I’m trying not to bug her and letting her figure it out. Hard for me, but a good practice in my own self discipline, so at least I’m trying.
Right now we are having a cloudy day with some misty rain. They are saying snow showers tonight and the rest of the weekend doesn’t look too promising but next week looks great so no problem. We have felt incredibly lucky on weather this entire trip so I guess if we have a few movie afternoons it’s still doing well.
This is one of the few campgrounds that has cell phone service so feel free to give us a call this weekend. I doubt we will go too long without finding a signal sometime, no matter where we camp, and it’s been great we can use our cell phone for our computer internet connection. Just amazing what today’s technology allows, although I will admit I could have done completely without phone for a couple of weeks of this trip! Accessibility presented it’s own set of problems—if you know what I mean!
Otherwise all is well and we feel good we are where we are. Wildlife and settling in for a few days in one place seems to be just the ticket. We will probably go out to West Yellowstone tomorrow, especially if the weather is questionable, it looked like a nice little tourist town that needs to be explored and hey—we are three women that like to hit the shops—even if we don’t buy anything. And I will take my business cards just in case…
And then we have to find some moose for Stacy…
