SNOW!!?? Day 5& 6&7

ON THE WAY TO YELLOWSTONE

Day 5

 I was so amazed that there was still snow remaining on the ground from the winter.

 Oh and look we are getting snow flurries, Aren't they beautiful on the windshield?

Oh this isn't good, my side of windshield, the important side for helping

Dave to drive, became totally obliterated with a sheet of snow ice. 

We managed to keep Dave with a swipe peep hole thanks to the handy dandy, 

Wife cranked windshield wiper.  That is wife cranked not cranky wife. 

 Finally Yellowstone and this was our official first park greeter

And our second greeting was old Faithful located immediately

adjacent to our hotel, the Old Faithful Inn. 

 It was erupting as we pulled in to the parking lot.

We watched many more from the deck with beer and wine.

Litte Red loved the sights of Yellowstone

In front of some geyser, with geiser driving.

Lake Yellowstone, a gigantuan lake, though it has  thermal spouts

( underwater geysers) deep down it is very cold. 

 Gorgeous . 

We had lunch overloooking the lake.

Leaving Yellowstone.  See no snow.  Weather warmed up nicely, 

 The road was a bit steep and a few curves.  But no snow.
On our way down to Cody Wyoming

More on this center next time.  This blog is becoming way too long.

It is 10pm and Dave has just left with the "trouble truck"

to return to East Gate of Yellowstone to rescue

one of our travel mates who has a broken axle something.

AAA failed to respond to his call and he has been stuck since noon.

The first trouble anyone has had.

On to Gillette Wy in the morning.
