Made it to Bozeman

Well it's been a while. We have done a ton of traveling this last week and a half. After the Badlands we went to Greybull, WY where we camped at a KOA. It was really nice there. From there we went to the Grand Tetons to stay for a while, where we called with a grizzly sow and her two cubs nearby. Never did get to see them. At night we'd hear the wolves howling which was pretty neat. There was only one trail accessible by foot at the time, because everything else was snow covered. As it was, I sank up to my hips in snow through the trail a time or two. It was gorgeous country though. Clear, fresh air. Bright blue skies. It was pretty spectacular. From the Tetons we headed to Yellowstone through the Teton pass, where we got caught in a snowstorm. I'm happy to report that everything was fine in the storm and God protected us through it. We got to Yellowstone around 1pm and Old Faithful was going off around 2pm, so we hurried up and got there about 5 min before it went off. It was cool to see. Then within 30 min we had rain change to sleet, sleet to snow, with snow ending up about 2 inches deep within the 30 min timeframe. Since it kept snowing and the park was clearing out, we decided to see the sights in the snow. A lot of the times we went to a place it was so steamed up you couldn't see much, but when you could, it was gorgeous. Picture deep blue and gold and purple against a white backdrop. Not something many people get to see in person. After getting thoroughly cold, and wet, we checked in to a locally owned hotel which turned out to be really nice. Again, God blessed us with a great rate for a couple of nights. We rests a day or so, then headed to north Yellowstone to camp and hike. All the southern trails were closed. We hiked around some trails and saw lots of different animals and some amazing views. After a couple of days, we headed out to see Bozeman, because it was recommended to us by a gentleman we met who owned a local laundromat. Now we are here and have met some really great people and are camping for the night! Follow us on G+ to see pics!
