More Pictures of Yellowstone and Salt Lake City, Utah

   We had an awesome adventure during our 18 days in Yellowstone. On Tuesday, the 24th we drove to Jackson, WY where we spent 4 nights at a very nice campground within a few hundred feet of the Teton mountains and a gorgeous view. We managed to get a few pictures and a little hiking in on the 24th before the snow & rain set in for 3 days. But we had a nice visit with Sharon. So thankful to have the opportunity to visit with her and learn about her interesting life.
   We're now staying at the KOA RV resort in Salt Lake City. We went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Sunday morning which was wonderful. Today was shopping and laundry so we'll have tomorrow to explore more of the Mormon Temple Square. Wednesday we begin our journey to Kanab, UT where we'll be staying at the Kanab Coral Campground. I plan to post more pictures, but here is a few more from Yellowstone and one of the Choir. I love how the Elk was posing for his pictures.

Yellowstone National Park Pictures

 
 
We're really enjoying Yellowstone area, it's so beautiful. So far we've visited Old Faithful and area. Also, the Mammoth area along with a few sites along the way including Artist Painters Pots and Gibbons Falls. Yesterday we drove to the Canyon and hiked to ALL of the overlooks. Between them all at the Canyon, we figured we had climbed over 2000 feet in less than 1.5 miles plus the same in downhills and another 1-2 miles in horizontal. Such a beautiful place with so many breath taking views that are well worth the hikes. We're hoping to get to see the many other sites throughout the park in the near future. We have many, many awesome photos. I'll try to post a few of our favorites. The WIFI is still sporadic, but we'll keep you posted when possible.

West Yellowstone!

We arrived at the Grizzly RV Resort in West Yellowstone, MT on Friday, September 6th. Today we ventured to Old Faithful and were able to capture some awesome pictures of buffalo and elk, as well as Old Faithful. I will be posting more photos. Still learning how to blog and our WIFI access is sporadic.

Our 1st couple weeks on our adventure west.

It's been almost 2 weeks since we crossed the Mackinac Bridge on our way out west. We've seen and done so much and it's already September 3, 2013. We had a great visit with family in Birchwood, WI. It was so good to see everyone. After passing through Sioux Falls, SD over night, we stayed at an RV resort in Hermosa, SD. There we were only 20-30 minutes from many attractions and ~45 minutes to the Badlands. We had so many great experiences and many, many great pictures from Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Wind Cave as well as the Badlands.
Such an amazing part of our beautiful country. I've attached a few of our many, many photos. I hope to post more often now since I've finally created our blog.


Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam.
