Hello from Wyoming!
First off, we apologize for our limited postings. While our nation’s national parks are set apart for their beauty, they are also black holes for cell phone and internet access (which at times has been an unanticipated vacation of its own).
After we left Craters of the Moon we made our way to Yellowstone National Park – along with the rest of America. A few hours, a few full campsites, and a lot of raindrops later we set up our home for the next four nights in the Indian Creek Campground. Indian Creek turned out to be a wonderful and very peaceful place to spend the next few nights.
Our four days in Yellowstone were filled to the brim with geyser watching, trail hiking, photo snapping, animal spotting, and soaking in the wonder of God’s handiwork and ingenuity. What an awesome God we have who breaths life out of destruction and shows Himself through His creation.
Wednesday was by far our best day for wildlife. On our way to Yellowstone lake we caught a glimpse of a bald eagle soaring overhead, and pulled over not once, but two times to watch two different bear cubs on the side of the road. In Hayden Valley we were touring the thermal features only to find ourselves less than five feet away from a Bison who was unabashedly relieving himself next to the tourist boardwalk. Looking a Bison in the eye that way can definitely speed up your heart rate!
Each day so far has presented an “unexpected party” as we like to call those unanticipated adventures we find ourselves in for one reason or another as we travel.
We can’t wait to share more with you when we return! We will try to post photos when we can - the internet we have managed to find is not very fast :)
