A Short Video from Tuesday's Trip and Latest Update

Hi everyone. I hope my video didn't cause your PC any problems in opening our blog. Let me know how it works out and if you were able to watch the video.

We're in West Yellowstone, Montana as I write. This morning we left the other KOA around 8:00 and stopped in Jackson Hole for an oil change and to get Jeryl a new phone at the local A T&T. Since it would take awhile for the oil change, we walked around the area and found a grocery store with fresh pastries, milk and juice. We ate breakfast there and then walked back to pick up the jeep. Next stop was the A T&T to get Jeryl one of the recently reduced-in-price 8gig I-Phones. I've had one for a few days now and it has been indispensable in helping us find our way around road construction, using the built in GPS system.

Back on the road, we headed for Yellowstone Park, about a 2 hour drive from Jackson Hole. The park is mostly in the state of Wyoming, but borders along Montana. Thus our stay at a KOA in Montana. We stopped at the park for lunch at a wonderfully rustic lodge and then walked outside just about the time Old Faithful was about to erupt. We took a seat with the throngs of people and waited maybe 20 minutes for the grand event. It was worth the wait and I was tickled to finally be among the people who have witnessed this American icon in person. We will try to get a video of it on Thursday and add it to the blog.

After that we headed to our KOA, about a 30 minute drive. We arrived around 3PM and took it easy the rest of the day. That was a nice change of pace.

So until tomorrow.........happy trails.......R & J
