Yellowstone

Well, the first of many bucket list goals are being checked off. The first night after a long drive on the parts of myself and the other driver we were in an obscure canyon in Nevada. It looked like a mini version of the Swiss Alps...well at least in my eyes.
After basking in the sun that day we went to a private spot which sports a natural springs. It was a great feeling to soak for a while. I could see by the expressions on our guest's faces that they shared the same feeling.

Day two was yet again a difficult night drive. I had to make it to Idaho Falls to complete my appointed task. A very long, dark, stinky drive with convoluted construction cone placement and horrible roads. Did I mention it stank?

Anyway, we got into Jackson, WY and the group went white water rafting. Since I drove I spent most of the day resting, which is certainly needed, but also mandated by law. The law is forcing me to sleep!! Well, ok... zzzzzzz.

Then off to Grand Tetons NP. This is a spectacular display of mother nature,s ability to awe strike just about anyone. We hiked around June Lake and drank in all the glory of it.

Off to Yellowstone NP. Old Faithful was interesting but not the highlight by any means. The thermal activity of the area is like out of a made up land one would find in a movie. To walk along the established boardwalks and see the earth spitting out hot water, steam, and mud is pretty awesome to see.
