June 26 & 27 - Arrived at YELLOWSTONE!

June 26th – We got some breakfast from the McDonalds in WalMart before we left this morning although Ryan didn’t. PopPop also went back in to the store and got some donuts for us. Drove into West Yellowstone. Saw a moose on our drive in. Got set up and then went into the park. Saw an elk almost immediately. Saw Mule deer. Saw a gazillon bison. Picked up our Young Rangers packages at the Madison Station. We hiked down to the Brink of the Lower Falls in the Canyon area. We were impressed with the canyon. Took pictures of stuff. Saw Old Faithful erupt. Drove and Drove and Drove (actually MomMom & PopPop did and we slept). Got back to the motorhome at 10p.m. our time – midnight your time.

June 27th – We rode our bikes a lot around the campground. Drove into the park around the lower loop and took a hike called Elephant Back. It was 7/10 of a mile up and 1.57 miles down. The view of the beautiful Lake Yellowstone was amazingly beautifully awesomeriffic!! Stopped at the Madison Ranger station to talk with Ranger Jay Mengel a friend of PopPop’s from the Air Force who we had met two years ago at Tuckahoe State Park in Maryland.










It was early in the trip so the boys were still interested in looking at Bison. After a couple days, they didn't even take the time to look up at Bison.
