Hello from Cody, Wyoming.  This is the second day we spent at Yellowstone Park.  The wifi service up to this point has been very, very poor so I actually have 3 days to catch you up on but for now I will just show you some of today.  It has been a grand adventure.  Up early, to bed late.  The sleeping arrangements have been a little iffy due to the fact that we travel down that "Oh look, a dirt road" and time just seems to get away from us so by the time we get to a town all of the motels, hotels are filled.  But we hunted one down.

Here are a few pics.  Hope you enjoy.


So, this is the room we got at Cooke City, Montana.  A small country town.  If you visit wear your boots and bring lots of money.



This is the mountain in the sunrise this morning.  There are yellow bushes and trees all over amongst the sage brush and landscape.  Brilliant yellow.  Yellowstone is water, rocks, trees and animals in abundance.  What a marvelous place.




There are great herds of buffalo, and I mean great herds.  Antelope here and there.




Lakes, streams and falls.  Water all over, and a lake that would probably cover the Tri-Cities.



The top is a painted pot hot pole.  It was a beautiful blue.  The bottom is drops of water flinging in the air from a boiling pool of water. 

Today we saw deer, elk, a black bear, Dall sheep, buffalo, antelope and chipmunks.  I will show you those pictures, or try to tomorrow. 

Right now it is 11:35 pm and Marty makes me get up real early so I will call it a night.

 Here is Old Faithful going off,  It is half way done because I took a video of the first half.  It was okay.

We even hit the Continental Divide.

Have a good day, love to you all.  Hopefully we will have wifi tomorrow.
