Slow down! I think I see a squirrel...

We didn't get rammed! Made it through Yellowstone without any altercations with Bison.
So much steam, sulfur, and gurgling holes in the ground!

Uncle Ernie (actually Cousin Anthony's Uncle, Albert's 2nd cousin) is a super nice guy. We got there the evening we left Andrea's house and enjoyed more delicious home cooking, awesome conversation and neat stories. This guy is definitely in the running for the real life "most interesting man in the world" Look for the book in stores in a few years.

Jackson was a pretty fancy town. Went to the delicious Snake River Brewery and sampled the brewskies and had a delicious sandwich. There is about a million tons worth of bronze statues, a shit pile of antlers and 10 taxidermied animals for every tourist on the street at any time. It was great.

The Grand Titons are big ol' jagged mountains that push up on the edge of the Jackson Hole valley and host a glacier or two. Pretty cool mountains that we had to climb to the top of. Not really, it looked too cold but they are pretty.

We went in and out of Yellowstone three times to get enough and there is still plenty of stuff to go back and see. I have to say there is more terrible driving in Yellowstone than there is in any American city! It's like they are all that minority group that you blame when you see someone doing something stupid on the road. There are animals everywhere and people just slow down or stop right in the road, not to avoid them but to gawk and take ten pictures.

Those roadside animals are amazing though and so are the geysers, hot pools, mud pools, vents and everything else. You gotta see them.

Next up is South Dakota for Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse (& Jewel Cave?). From what I hear after that is the nothingness for a long ways.
