Montana and Wyoming


Back and forth and back and forth! Ugh...It was cooooooolllld in Wyoming the night we stayed at our first truck stop. Woke up to 27 degrees. I was not happy at all. Yellowstone was beautiful, but do not take the Beartooth pass to get there. It is incredibly awesome and what not but it is very very windy and stressful. The night before we went to Yellowstone we stayed in a sweet little motel with a jacuzzi? bathtub and got free hot cocoa, because I am a "kid." The owner gave us a nice $10 discount and our neighbors gave us lots of great advice about Yellowstone. James, the owner of the hotel had this fat bulldog/pit bull? Who knows it was like 8 inches high at best, spotted like a cow, had a flat face, and was FAT. His name was Buddy and he was beautiful. Did not see any bears in Yellowstone but did see guess what, MORE BUFFALO! As well as some Elk, a few Praire dogs, and some neat birds. We only got to see one Geyser because Old Faithful was closed due to the massive forest fire going on right now up on the mountain. :( Its no good.

Spent our second night at a truck stop last night and woke up to rain pouring down at 7:00am, follwed by SNOW, in September! I was so excited, although it was freezing cold. Met some sweet hitchhiking kids at the truck stop, who were on their way to New York then eventually New Orleans. I gave them my number and Conor, the guy, told me to give him a call once we reach New Orleans. :)
