Random stuff:
- No pictures yet – it’s hard to upload over the Treo.
- Bozeman, Montana sucks.
- Walking with a herd of 200 buffalo is surreal.
- Yellowstone cannot be adequately experienced in just two days. We could have spent a month. There are several hundred miles of roads, but the best experiences are off the beaten path. Pam and I must have hiked 30 miles over two days, varying in altitudes from 10,250 feet to 6,000 feet. Multiple waterfalls, wildlife, geysers, hot springs, geysers, and mountain meadows. The scenery cannot be described, and photos fail to capture the full feeling of how overwhelming the beauty is – golden meadows, surrounded by mountains, with much of the area still recovering naturally from the massive 1988 wildfires. We took 800 pictures, and I’ll upload the best of them later.
- Our Gorge friends are way, way too good to us. Feels like family, with instant comfort and comraderie.
- I always forget something crucial when camping, and this year it was the propane valve for the grill. We wasted an hour in Spokane trying to find a replacement, and found something that barely worked.
- I never thought I’d miss humidity, but right now I can feel my skin cracking because of the dryness.
- I love the Highlander Hybrid.
- More later, probably Monday on the road.
