Yellowstone - Aug 15

Very long driving day yesterday, but eventful. Left the Badlands around 9:00 am yesterday; arrived at Grizzly/White River RV Park at the western entrance to Yellowstone at 1:30 am this morning.  Caffeine and a nap along the way.  A gibbous moon lit the road and good tunes lit the airwaves.  Way long journey but pleasant.  Thought about zircon encrusted tweezers and dental floss moving through Montana.

Getting a handle on photos.  This is from the Badlands where I started:

Lots of Virginia people out here. Met folks from VaTech, UVA and W&M.

On yesterday's trip I visited Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial along the way. Seeing Mt. Rushmore for real was incredible.  Don't know who those 4 guys are but they must be important!  The view of Crazy Horse was too far away without a bus tour that I declined.

Temperatures have been dropping like a rock.  It was 96 degrees in Kansas City, 81 degrees in the Badlands, and 41 when I came here this morning.  Found the camper heater works. A high of 81 expected.  Checking in this morning, i got the evil eye from staff for arriving at 0 dark 30.  Woke up wiped out. Burnt some sausage for breakfast and plan on chilling this morning.  Old Faithful later today. Pics later.
