#27--back online and getting boring...

Today was our first kind of bad weather day. The morning was ok, so we packed up our trailer and headed up to Mammoth Springs on the north end of the park. We started early enough but it took much longer than we thought because of a number of “buffalo jams”. The good news is that there were still plenty of campsites available so we got settled in and then headed to Gardiner, MT to do laundry. By then it was raining and windy so we didn’t feel cheated by having to do the necessities. We also had to get Epsom salts since my infected hand was becoming another issue. I think it turned a corner today but I will be so glad to not have to deal any more with my hands!

I spent the rest of the day making veggie lasagna for Yuliya’s B-day tomorrow and since none of us had slept too well last night, it will probably be an early night tonight. Just one of those days…

We still need to go “wolf hunting” so I imagine we will stay here for a few days. We have internet and are close to a town so it almost feels uptown! Hopefully the weather will clear and we can take advantage of what’s on the north end of the park. Elk seem to be the animal up here—we have them wandering through our campsite and they are all over the town. And we are across from a mountain that is suppose to be range for more big horn sheep. Figure we need to set up the spotting scope tomorrow—it was just too windy to do it today.

I know we have gotten rather boring and probably not an interesting read anymore—but god it feels good. Life without drama…what an interesting concept. Wonder if there is any way to make it last…

By the way—does everyone knows it’s Yuliya’s birthday on September 11th? We are so tired of hearing about it but I guess it is my just reward—I always tend to overuse mine too…
