Greetings All,

Today was a driving day—Almost 6 hours on the road.  We headed south to Bozeman, Montana, to get ready for our 10 nights in Yellowstone.  To prepare you for what’s ahead we will be spending 3 nights in Mammoth Hot Springs (northern Yellowstone), then on to 3 days at Lake (somewhat central Yellowstone), and then 4 days at Old Faithful.  Our days will be full of hiking, exploring, and taking photos.

I’ll start a new Yellowstone Gallery and will change the blog’s homepage photos as we head into the park.

Today we had an interesting drive as when we hit Polson, Montana (just south of Kalispell) we picked up Gary’s third cousin, Topher (Chris).  He rode with us back to Bozeman and we had wonderful conversations with him.  He’s a chemist and has spent time in Africa and other countries.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him.  This was the first time that I had met him.  Tomorrow he’s going to give us a tour of Bozeman and I’m looking forward to it.

Well no new photos from today so I thought I’d throw in a couple from the last week to end today’s entry.

Enjoy and until tomorrow,

Love Ellie and Gary
