Well, to catch up a little now that I have a good internet connection. We left Boulder, WY on the 19th and moved to Cody, WY. That put us a little closer to Yellowstone National Park. The campground at Cody was nice, but the Wi-Fi never worked a single time for the four days that we were there. One morning we drove from Cody into Yellowstone. It was a long drive but was very pretty. Many of the ponderosa pines were dead due to beetles and fire. It seems that they re-seed rapidly though. We saw places where the old trees were dead, but new ones were coming in almost solid.
Since it is such a long distance to cover the whole park, we just drove the so-called lower loop. We saw Old Faithful (Note To Floye: do you still have Daddy's walking stick?) and Yellowstone Lake along with lots of waterfalls and mud and sulfer geysers. We also saw lots of deer, elk, buffalo (that's Bison to the tree huggers), swans and other birds. It was an interesting day, but after the 250 mile mountain drive we were really tired. We just rested the entire next day.
On monday we left Cody and headed north not knowing where we were going. We hit Interstate 94 at Billings, MT and then hesded east. We made it to Glendive, MT and stopped at a nice little RV park that we had stayed in several years ago. This is our third day here and we might stay a few more. We are having a good rest. Today has been cool although yesterday it got up to 112. It was so hot in the trailer that we had to get in the truck and drive. We went the state park just outside of town and then stopped at a fast food place that was cool and read our books.

Glad y'all made it safely to Medora. Mother is with me for a few days, since I had surgery on Wed. She does not know the whereabouts of Papa's walking stick.
Thanks for the great pics of Yellowstone and Medora. It's nice to vicariously travel north with you.
