  • Yellowstone National Park Day 9

    Yellowstone National Park, May 2025 Since we didn’t get back to the trailer until 10 pm last night and wrote the blogs for Day 8 until after midnight, we didn’t get up until late. We planned on having a more relaxing day. Today we focused on going to West Thumb to walk the boardwalk around…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 8

    Yellowstone National Park, May 2025 Today we tried to get out a little earlier, but we were unsuccessful. This was mostly because I couldn’t find my keys, and it took a while to locate them. Once we did get out, our first stop was to hike Storm Point. My main purpose was to see the…

  • 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…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 7

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 Today’s plan was to get things done around the trailer and visit the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center. The fishing Bridge Visitor Center was built in 1930 / 1931. The structure helped define what was called the National Park Service Rustic style. This building design was then used in other…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 4: Part 2

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 As promised, (a day late and a dollar short,) here are some of the videos of the river otter and grizzly bear from Thursday. The Sony Handycam that we have produces low resolution videos (720×480), so there is not a lot of detail. On the positive side, the videos…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 6

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 Today’s plan was simple. John had to do a few quick things in the morning, go on a hike longer than a mile, and visit the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center. We opted for the Howard Eaton trail that was right beside Fishing Bridge, less than a mile from our…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 5

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 Today was a beautiful day to wake up in Yellowstone. The temperature was 28 degrees or less last night, but it increased to 32 degrees by 8 am. Yeah!!

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 3

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 We’ve had quite an experience between last night and today. Unfortunately, it does not involve wild animals. Last night, the surge protector turned off our electricity twice due to low power. We decided to talk to the folks in the office who said it was because too much power…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 2

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 This morning, we woke up to a winter wonderland. Temperature was 30 F and beautiful snow. We are fortunate for the large pines around the campground which protects us from wind. The first priority was taking a shower and then going to the store or visitor center to see…
