Katman1356...Jason

So when I last left off we had just arrive at Yellowstone..what's that you say? Pics or it didn't happen. Ok here you go. I was really hard posing for these pictures. For some reason this area was horrible with bugs. We didn't see many the rest of our time in Yellowstone but here you were afraid to open your mouth. We quickly hopped back into the car and headed north in Yellowstone. We stopped at the first camping area as we needed gas to make it to the one where we were camping. In case you did not know it Yellowstone is huge. Yellowstone is 3,468 Square miles...For perspective Rhode Island

First up thanks again for all the love for the pictures. While I know we do fairly well taking pictures, the scenery is waht makes the shot. And now for a couple more replies. Thats was the one thing I was really sad about on this trip. I really enjoyed that stop last time and as you can tell it left its mark on me. We would love to get back to Yellowstone and maybe see it in the winter time. But if you think this visit will be without snow well you are in for a surprise. as were we. Silvia and I watches all of the episodes in that Ken Burns series before the trip. It gave us lots of ideas

Your very welcome.

Hey thats my ringtone! Now I can really screw with my wife. I will make every computer in the house go to that link. hahaha.

We had just crossed into Wyoming but I want to hijack my own trip report for a second. When I did this trip back in 2002 I stopped at another national monument known as Dinosaur National Monument. Unfortunately it was all but closed for this trip while they were doing renovations and building a whole new visitor center. If you are into Dinosaurs or have kids into Dinosaurs this should be a must stop if you are in the are. This National Monument is one of the few places in the world you can see a massive collection of Dinosaur bones that have been left in the earth. The story goes that back in

:banana: Thanks TCD. I am glad to be sharing it. And I am glad you like the way the trip was planned so far.

I will say that when we were there for the Fourth we heard it in the 1700 loop.

Lou should be along momentarily to answer this much better than I could.

We did get some of that reaction but we had gone into this with the idea that we wanted to see a lot of the country. We plan on returning for more in depth visits to specific places at a later time. A lot of my wife's family can't stand the though of being in a car for that long. They won't even do the drive to Florida from CT, but for us the drive is part of the fun. You miss so much if you just fly to a place. By driving you really get to see the environment that makes the people that live there who they are. I firmly believe that everyone should do it at least once. It is something you wi

If you have want to send me a pm with your email address. I have a word doc with our stops all typed up that includes site we saw that day.

Count me in.

Heading down form the plateau and on the road again after stopping in the gift shop We are now headed north to Provo, UT. Our friend Ben lives there with his wife. Ben is the person who introduced us so we had to pay him a visit. Sad to say we didnt take many pictures in Provo. We rolled into town. Had dinner and dessert with Ben and his wife and then went to our hotel to do laundry and sleep. The next day on the way out of town we did grab some pics as we passed through the mountains. Today is a long drive day. We started in Provo and we are headed to Yellowstone. But not in anything

So lets try this again. We left the campground the next morning headed north to Arches National Park. You start seeing arches before you get to the park. We made it! So in addition to the arches for which it is named there are also fins and towers. At one of the towers there were a bunch of people stopped taking pictures of the scenery. It was nice in shady next to the tower so we though we would as well. While looking around and Sil was taking pictures I noticed some people had climbed up the tower to the point where it goes pretty much vertical. I decided I wanted to head up ther

It is a beautiful area. It is a very striking area.

But Mo doesn't have potential camera's pointed at them while driving through multiple times a day...but your right. She probably would.

true

Do you want to rephrase that one Stef?

I'll be there.....but only for the 5k. Unless there are zombies or an angry wife involved I will never be running a marathon.

Count me in!

Wait you can't blame Mo. Everyone knows your to blame. Good try though.

Sorry guys I had another post almost done and lost it. Will have to work on it again later tonight.

Just wait for Yellowstone. Nothing compares.

You are making me really hungry with all the food posts this morning.

It was amazing. This guys was heading through the Rocky's for the east coast. I thought that was a little more ambitious than I would ever be.

I am sure but it would still be nice to see it from the other side. I hear it is less crowded as well.
