Yellowstone

Well this is going to be a really short one. We just got into Boulder, MT a little while ago and my computer access is limited. Yellowstone is absolutely gorgeous! If you've seen photos of some of those famous places like Lower Falls or Old Faithful, it's kind of surreal to go and see them in person. They really do exist! Ben and I rolled into the park last night just after dark and set up camp. There is so much to see, you really need a few days to get to everything. We saw as much as we could and took plenty of pictures, and then headed up to my Uncle Ron's place in Montana. Leaving Yellowstone from the north exit, we headed west a few hours to get to Boulder. And I thought Wyoming was desolate! I'm not quite sure how I feel bout the solitude of these places. Besides the aesthetic beauty of the mountains, it seems as if there is no life out here. The drive out seemed very lonely, and I found myself thinking of friends back in Memphis. Tomorrow we are heading out west, crossing the Cascades, and into Seattle. I'm looking forward to it.
