Day 37 – Devils Tower
Today we had a close encounter with rocks. Lots of rocks. A wonderful field of boulders just waiting to be climbed on: The “foothill” of Devils Tower. After spending more than 8 hours on the road yesterday, it was wonderful to just roll out of the campsite and into a National Monument this morning, thoughContinueContinue reading “Day 37 – Devils Tower”
Day 36 – Four Days in Yellowstone – or, Dozens of Ways to Die, Averted
N.B.: out of consideration for some of our concerned readers, we are posting this list of dangers after leaving Yellowstone unscathed, rather than before entering the park. I picked up this book out of morbid curiosity and haven’t been able to put it down: Full of first-hand accounts filled with gory details, this book discussesContinueContinue reading “Day 36 – Four Days in Yellowstone – or, Dozens of Ways to Die, Averted”

Day 33 – Yellowstone (take 1)
How to describe our experience today? Images will certainly help, but audio and video would be better. And even they would fall short, as the two sensations they don’t capture–smell and touch–were the definitive and often overwhelming ones. I don’t think there’s anything that can help convey how it feels when a hot, steamy cloud ofContinueContinue reading “Day 33 – Yellowstone (take 1)”
Day 32 – Teton to Yellowstone
Despite getting plenty of exercise yesterday, I had a real problem falling asleep in our Jackson Lake Lodge Cabin (planned as a break from our RV). I actually wonder whether I am now completely adjusted to the RV and have a hard time sleeping elsewhere. Or maybe it’s just the altitude. In any case, IContinueContinue reading “Day 32 – Teton to Yellowstone”
