Last I left you, we were in Rapid City South Dakota. While there, Jack met up with an old buddy, Brian. He has a BBQ restaurant there, so if you are ever in Rapid City, check out Black Hills BBQ! We headed out of Rapid City Wednesday on the last leg of our journey. Practically as soon as we entered into Wyoming we saw this sign “winter weather forecast, hazardous conditions until Thurs 9 am.” And it started to rain and sleet, and snow…. It was 80 degrees on Tuesday! Again with the high winds, along with fog and freezing precipitation. We made it as far as Sheridan WY and stopped for the rest of the day. In town it was snowing and sleeting, but the weather was rather minor compared to the conditions up on ... read more

Enjoyed the hot/cold buffet breakfast at the Quality Inn hotel this morning. There was a wide selection of foods including cereals, waffles, bacon, yoghurt and fruit. Coffee was exceptionally good here. After checking out of the hotel we had to stop by the grocery store to pick up a few bits and pieces including some duct tape to repair my suitcase. Even though we have purchased good quality cases they get so roughly treated going in and out of aircrafts they just don't last too long..anyway the duct tape has done a good enough repair job. Rental car dropped back at the airport then we had nearly 2 hour wait for the shuttle bus to take us to Mammoth Hot Springs in YNP. The bus was old (40yo) in fact but it was a comfortable and ... read more

29 sept au 1er oct. Ce fut ... un peu moins plaisant que l'on avait imaginé ! 3 jours de pluie, de grisailles et de température sous zéro, ce qui rend le camping moins intéressant et les excursions moins plaisantes :( Beaucoup de brouillard donc peu de belle de montagnes à observer au loin ! Nous avons tout de même vu des bisons par centaines, quelques beaux wapitis (mâles et femelles) et plusieurs types de sources thermales (boues volcaniques, geysers). Le lac Yellowstone est aussi très beau, immense et entouré de montagnes et de forêts. On quitte le parc avec une crevaison...fallait bien que ca arrive au moins une fois ! Et pour bien immortaliser le moment, il s'est bien à neiger de gros flocons fondants ! Nous roulons vers Helena, dans le Montana pour un ... read more

We were up and at 'em again today. Up early and on the road early. But even though we were up and ready, not everyone was feeling too good. David has been fighting a head cold and it is taking its toll. So after some meds, we checked out of our hotel and headed right back into Yellowstone. After yesterday's success with wildlife we were anxious to get started again. We didn't have to wait long before finding Yellowstone's prime animals in their own habitat. Just a few miles in, we saw a blue crane and a trumpeter swan floating on the river. We stopped to admire her beauty and take a few pics as well as several other people. They looked like the Secret Wolf Watching Society from a couple of days ago with their ... read more
