...sometimes you go camping and, well, there's no wireless at a campsite. There wouldn't be, would there? And sometimes you spend an entire day hitting up nearly every nook and cranny of Yellowstone National Park from dawn til dusk. Seriously, we got there at 6:44 AM and left when it was pitch black night. In any event, our full on, all out descriptions of the past two amazing days will have to wait until tomorrow's blog after we've hit Kalispell and finally have a chance to catch our breath(s). Apologies to those of you living vicariously through our adventures- for now, we hope these teasers will suffice:
Day 3: Wyoming? Why not?
-Wind, wind, wind
-A prairie dog
-Pronghorn
-A town = A gas station
-How awkward would it be if the Grand Tetons had been named in English (but still appropriate)?
-Clarice has begun to develop a "tone"...
-Camping, by David and Kate: It's charms and it's various degrees of success
-Not being eaten by a bear
Day 4: Yellowstone: "This is the scariest place I have ever, ever been in my life, and I lived in New York for six years." -Kate Stopa
-Bison on parade
-It seems the earth could crumble beneath us at any moment... good luck, everybody!
-An epic, license plate related milestone looms on the horizon
-The final resting place of Alan Grant
-Not getting eaten by another bear
-A surprise last minute guest...
Make of that what you will for now. We just drove through an hour of total darkness through something or other national forest convinced that our final animal encounter of the night would involve a deer, a shovel, and an inquiry into the exact nature of rental car's insurance coverage. Fortunately, we were wrong, and we made it safely to Livingstone, MT to find free wireless internet, The Wild Bunch on TV, and sleepiness.
Stay tuned! Hopefully we can post with more regularity starting tomorrow and play catch up.
