Being so close to Yellowstone had it’s advantages. We could hope on over there after about a thirty minute drive and get in free thanks to mom and dad’s Golden Passport which provides for free entry for life. Between our trips over there and the cabin the kids found time to entertain themselves with wooly worms that we found
After viewing Old Faithful we thought we’d go check out the Old Faithful Lodge.. It’s world famous and had a lot of people there. It took me some time to get a shot of the spectacular staircase with nobody around
The week has been full of filling out papers for things that need to be done for Ghana and with working with the kids on their first week of school. I have to admit it’s been full enough where I’m ready for a long weekend…how about you?
Another wonderful amazing tour Joe. Thank you so much. Just awesome!

Joe...I actually don't think there's anyone to beat you for fascinating, really excellent narration (explanatory) blogs when it comes to traveling and what you have seen. You have a gift for knowing exactly wheat we would enjoy seeing. And many of us, certainly me, will never see these sights in person, so it's even more thrilling to get a taste of it here.
ReplyDeleteYou da man. You are.
Joe, the photos are wonderful, and something that I will never be able to experience in my lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea I could comment w/o logging in to a g account which we'll see...
ReplyDeleteAssuming the Anonymous test comment worked, Hi it is Janae from WLS, never could log back in over here. I think it's me, I just have too much to keep track of. Anyway this looks like an enjoyable journey you are able to take often - about have to make multiple visits in order to tour even a fraction of the expansive wonderful park. Have a good weekend("-")
ReplyDeleteJoe ,I loved this blog. It sure takes me back a few years when I was there. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteLoved your photos .Wonderful blog
Have a wonderful day.
Joe
ReplyDeleteYou have changed your type font and with my cataract I am having a hard time reading it.
Yellowstone is one of those places I will never tire of no matter how it comes to me, by blog, TV or ........
I have been there numerous times and hope to return again. i would like a winter sno-cat tour.
I was there the year before the fire and in my slides it shows numerous dead trees standing in among the live trees. Standing there like kindling wood waiting a spark.
would go out early evening until after dark being a tourist checking out the geysers and night life. The park changes after sun set and i got some tremendous pictures of sunsets there at the basins and meadows.
Have you seen how many earthquakes they get there every month.
It is such a fun place, thanks for the return journey.
Joe, I so enjoyed reading your blog and the photos are amazing. Things I may never see in person but you sure give a grand tour. Won't be long now and you will all be on your way. I pray God will prepare you and your team as well as those you will minister too. May the Lord speak to you and through you in a powerful way. God Bless and have a great long weekend. I am having my 8yr. old granddaughter tomorrow for the day and looking forward to that come rain or shine. Going to make some brownies too. I will save you a peace. :) Dianne

The wooly worms as you said"How they survived?

I haven't been to Yellowstone since I a was a child. Your photos make me yearn to revisit it sometime again. I so remember the green meadows there with creek wondering thru them. Great shots of that old building and the old bus. Of course what is a trip to Yellowstone with the ever faithfull, Old Faithfull. Thanks for sharing your journey. May God fill your new journey coming with as much wonderment and excitement. Hugs Carrie
