Day 31: Monday June 11

Today was a day of driving the other loop at Yellowstone.  We saw an Elk, more Buffalo including one that was just walking down the street!


We also saw some really pretty hot springs, and a couple of waterfalls.






The day of course would not be complete without seeing Old Faithful go off!

Day 34, 35 36 Thur Fri Sat June 15, 16 and 17

We made it home! After dropping Sara off to the airport at 6:30 am, Jeff and I hit the road.  We drove 1900 + miles in three days!  It was a VERY long ride and my butt was really killing me!!  We were more than ready to stop living out of our car! Reflections of our trip: I am more than grateful to have spent this time with Jeff.  I feel that this trip has allowed us to make memories that we will forever keep in our hearts.  Yes there were times we were homesick, and tired of each other.  Yes it was hard at times to be living out of our car, but there were more times where we laughed and explored this great country.  It is surreal to think we did it, it is hard to remember all the things we did, but over time I am sure we will share stories here and there of what we did. One of my favorite stories happened near the end of the trip.  We were at a construction zone on a road where we had to wait for the lead car to take us through the construc...

Day 29 Saturday June 9

Today we got up and explored the Tetons.   We stopped at Jenny Lake where Janet and I took a boat across to the hiking trail for the hidden falls and Dave, Sara and Jeff hiked around the lake and met us there. We saw our first buffalo, and antelope. Later in the day we went on a river float down the Snake River and saw a bald eagle and a mother moose and her young one. The views were amazing.  Sorry for all the pictures, but you should count yourselves lucky because I have saw many more!

Day 32 Tuesday June 12

I thought today was going to be tough.  We had to drive from Yellowstone to Custer State Park.  Over 300 miles.  Spent most of the day in the car, eating at Pizza Hut for lunch was the highlight. Until.....we made it to the Needles Highway.  Both Jeff and Sara took turns driving, the road was windy, narrow and lots of skinny tunnels to go through! From the Needles Highway we did the wildlife loop in Custer.  We saw baby buffalo, prairie dogs, the burros (although they were very far away), some deer and some antelope. After all that fun, we checked into our hotel which was right down the street from Mount Rushmore.  We went to the evening program and watched them light up the faces. All and all it was a busy but fun day!
