Our Yellowstone Experience Part 1

This is the first of a few blogs to share sooooooooo much about what we did and saw the last few days.  As you figured out, we did not have cell or WiFi access there, so let me start catching up !

We crossed into Montana from Idaho !  Just the southwest tip, but Montana no less !

It was pretty exciting to come up on this sign !!

These are our first looks of Yellowstone, and just a few miles in we crossed into Wyoming but we could not get a picture of the sign until a couple of days later, so ignore the date on that picture !

Mud Pots !

Yep, snow and plenty of it while we were there !



Fishing Bridge is deep inside Yellowstone and where we camped !  Very popular place !

The Moose Lodge's first camping experience in snow !  It was banked up (HIGH) everywhere !

Our view from the front window !  I kept waiting for a bear but didn't see one !

We had a great time there....the first day we just got oriented and did a little shopping at the nearby general store.  We were camping without electricity, so had to work through a few things with that ! It was also very cold so we had to drag out our sweatshirts and warmy socks !  We saw so many animals on the drive in but we could not stop in time to get good pictures !  We were all anxious to get to the next day when we could explore some but we got a good nights sleep our first night !
