Day 262: My morning in Yellowstone

Monday, September 20, 2010

Here is the first half of the second day: Foggy.  It wasn’t when I got up, but it was when I took off.  50 miles to Gardiner, /\/\T, and 40 of it was 30mph fog. (All photos Nikon Coolpix L11 unless otherwise noted!) There was a fire in the north east corner of Yellowstone National […]

The dining room set: Out with the old!  25 years of good service…and still going strong!  You can’t say that about the  chairs, however.  The wood and glue are both terminally dried out… In with the new…prosthetic legs???
