Our Travel Adventures

5/8/2015 Sleep good last night.  34 deg. F for the low.  Today we drive to Old Faithful and the Yellowstone Inn.  Cool and overcast today in the 40's.  More people here than we expected. Saw Old Faithful do its thing.  Its interesting to learn some day Old Faithful will not exist any longer.  My guess millions up on millions have seen this amazing event. We went to the Visitors Center and talked to a Ranger.  She had Interesting facts about the park. Its hard to believe the large forest fire was in 1988.  Derek and I was here a few years later and saw the devastation.  Today still many acres show reminders of the fire.  Trees are now around 25 feet in height where the burn took place, but many are still bare and burnt. Takes years to replenish the damage done. Set in the parking lot for 1 hour or so catching up our blog.  No Internet service in most places in the park.  After...

5/7/2015 Cool last night.  Temperature got around 30 Deg. F.  Snowing this morning.  Beautiful out but no sunshine.  Becky Itinerary says we are heading North today to Mammoth Hot Springs.  We didn't get started until around 12:30 because we wanted the snow to melt on the roads.  You don't want Ice on roads like these.  At least I don't.  Sun in and out  today. First stop Gibbon Falls.  The water is traveling really fast because of the Snow in the mountains melting. The road we are taking to Mammoth Hot Springs is under construction and we were to expect 30 min. delay.  Boy was that an understatement.  The road was terrible, ruts and holes everywhere, not to mention the mud from the rain and snow fall.  I guess we had about an hour delay instead of 30 min.  I'm really surprised they were allowing people to drive on this road. Road Construction on our way to Mammoth Hot Springs was terrible. ...
