Yellowstone

We can finally say we have been to Yellowstone. This last weekend, we went to a wedding reception near Blackfoot, Idaho for a young man that served his mission with Brian. On the way we went through West Yellow stone and stayed at a campsite outside of it at a place called Mack's Inn. After the reception, we went back to the campsite for another night. We did some fishing, but we did not catch any fish, to our disappointment. We then went back to West Yellowstone where we went to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery center and the museum at the old train station. We were wanting to go to see Old Faithful, but we will wait another day. Everything costs money- quite a bit of money. We also went through were a whole mountainside fell in the river, creating a lake. This happened during a 7.5 Earthquake that occurred 1959. It was amazing of how much land and fallen and to see hundreds of drowned trees standing up in the middle of the lake everywhere. We would like to go back again to see more of Yellowstone.

  1. How cool. I am glad you got to see Yellowstone. I have been to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center on two occassions as well as the Earthquake area you visited. Now that is a somber place to visit, but interesting none the less. I am glad that you are getting settled into your new home and surroundings. And don't worry, you'll make friends soon, and lots of them I'm sure.
