Yellowstone Day 2

Good morning to all. Today is Sunday May 24 th and we are still in Island Park ID. Our plans very simple today. We have meet a few Texans in the RV park and we have been told that a local bed & breakfast brags they have the best chicken fried steak. We as Texans are up for the challenge. I do this in honor of our lone star state.
The weather partly cloudy but chilly enough we had to turn the heater on this morning. In fact when the sun goes down it is pretty darn cold, we have not been able to enjoy the nights. We even have a fire ring I guess we are just cry babies. I have seen the bright stars here and it seems as though you can reach up and touch them. The nights so black and the shinny stars light the way. I understand why the cowboys enjoyed the wide open space.
We have spent 2 days inside Yellowstone Park we are entering the park on the West entrance. Which you have a short trip through MT. This small town is very family friendly lots of lodging, restaurants, and shopping, a large IMAX screen.
You are able to drive through the park however the best beauty is when you take designated trails. So you need good walking shoes, your camera and a pair of binoculars. { we have two pair, just don't know were}
Mammoth Hot Springs Tower junction is a must see. Yellowstone Lake still has ice on it.
We seen lots of deer, buffalo, elk, geese. Still looking for bears and bald eagles. When you walk to some of the hot springs be sure and watch the boiling water and the mud pots. Some of the gases are strong just get up wind. { I only thought Hartley was a stinker}
Have heard from friends back home some in Cut n Shoot and some at Rayford. Both groups having a great time and the stories they can tell. You need to wear depends you laugh so hard. Jay and Stella are going to the Heartland Rally, Donna and Ted, are heading to Indiana family reunion, then a cross country drive to Yellowstone any way we all will meet up late Sept. in CO. Dee and Rick and Tommy and Susan will have joined us will have a week together. Lots of tall tales, to share. Just plan fun getting together.
Spoke with my grand boys they are spending Memorial weekend with Aunt Lisa she lives in San Antonio. They have plans to walk the river and ride the ferries. Maybe go to Natural Bridge Caverns.
Till next time.
Juju and Harry

  2. Hey Judy and Harry, finally got your blog address from Jay. We are still at Rayford with Stella & Jay and Tommy & Susan. When we got back from "buttoning down the hatches" at home for our departure tomorrow, Dee & Rick had pulled in. Didn't get enough camping in Cut N Shoot so they are staying here a few days. Keep your blog going and keep track of ours. We'll be in Colorado towards the end of August. Expect to be home by the end of Labor Day week at the latest.
