  • Yellowstone National Park Day 26

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 John needed to make calls and deal with problems related to selling his property in Oklahoma, so we could not make it out at a reasonable hour. Rather than fight with other tourists, we waited until late afternoon/early evening to go out. The plan was to hike Cascade Lake…

  • Grand Teton National Park Day 25

    Grand Teton National Park, WY, June 2025 Kate wanted MORE cancel stamps, so she plotted a convoluted route from Fishing Bridge to Jackson Hole, WY that hit every cancel stamp (that was open) within 100 miles. Maybe it was only 20 miles. We drove down John D. Rockefeller, Jr Memorial Parkway to get from Yellowstone…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 23

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We planned to do nothing today because John had to make a lot of calls. He finished them earlier than expected, so we decided to look for owls in the evening. Kate turned towards what she thought was the east entrance, but we ended up at LeHardy Rapids. This…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 16: Part 2 Norris Geyser Basin

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 The first part of the day was hiking Ice Lake. The second part of the day was visiting Norris Geyser Basin. We thought this was a short walk but it turns out to see everything it’s around a 3 mile walk. The map below is the only map around…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 13: Part 2

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 I setup my Canon XSI a long time ago. That one had a manual. The used Canon T7I that I just bought does not. It took a while to figure it out because no manual and no internet. Well, not internet at Barnes Hole, where we were testing it.…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 13

    Yellowstone National Park, WY & MT, May 2025 The major goal of today was to drive to West Yellowstone to pick up John’s new Canon SLR camera. It’s an updated version of his camera that has more pixels (mean more detailed pictures), better auto focus(crisper pictures), and can record video. The great part of new…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 11: Part 2

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 This is for everyone that loves the selfies and nonprofessional looking photos from my phone 🙂 As John said in the Day 11 original, post we went through Hayden Valley first. This is a large grazing area for animals. Though no baby buffaloes. I thought you would like a…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 8: Part 2

    West Thumb Geyser Basin, WY, May 2025 Kate wanted to take a break after the Storm Point hike to wait for most people to leave the park. After coming back, we received a unannounced visitor … (dun dun DUN!) Kate answered the door, and it was park maintenance. It turns out that the water spigot…

  • Bighorn National Forest: Part 1

    Bighorn National Forest, WY, May 2025 At a population of 4,400, Buffalo is one of the largest cities we have stayed in this year. Okay, that is stretching it a bit. We did stay in Denver, CO and just south of Oklahoma City, OK, which are large cities. We have also stayed in several smaller…

  • Photography: What is Your Perspective

    Lots of people snap pictures of whatever they are looking at: family, pets, or scenic overlooks. This is perfectly fine for capturing memories, but these are not always all that interesting beyond the sentiment and remembering the moment. One of the worst insults you can say to a photographer is “Oh, that is pretty. It…
