Just a quicky
Just a quick update before I have to get back on the road. Things have been little calmer since my adventures in the Badlands. I spent most of Saturday driving and got within about 25 miles of Yellowstone before I went to sleep. I was surprised at how much snow was on the ground and it was quite cold at night. When I awoke the next morning I found I was surrounded my gorgeous scenery; the Tetons were magnificent.
I spent pretty much the whole day in Yellowstone. There was so much to do and see that I tried to see it all at first, and ended up not seeing anything. By the middle of the afternoon though I took about a 6 mile hike along the north rim of the “Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone” which was stunningly huge and capped off by a 300 foot waterfall. Heaven forbid my hike should be too mundane so just as I was turning around to head back to the car the wind picked up, it began to rain, and there were a few cracks of lightning. Nothing to serious and since I was in the woods most of the time I stayed fairly dry.
Today finds me in Great Falls, Montana where I stopped to pick up a few supplies and to use the internet connection at the public library. I'm just getting ready to leave and will drive up to northern Montana and take a drive through Glacier National Park before ending up in Hayden Idaho.

Your photos are absolutely beautiful, Alan. The reflections in the still water are great. It's hard to believe there's still snow on the ground. Can I suggest taking several successive photos to make into a panoramic montage?
You're living the dream, Alan. Sounds like you are already having lots of fun, with much more to come. If you ever pass through southern MN (only a couple of hours from home, I know) I'll have a bed and some dinner for you. Be safe.
Alan, GREAT pictures! We [EVC] are all following your travels. Have a great time and check in often. We can't wait to share in your adventures.
Al, my comment I listed under the Badlands was actually some photos from Yellowstone, also. I was looking in your photo gallery. I admire you for doing this. Have a great time. I am looking forward to the next entry.
