Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 9/14/09

We woke up this morning to the sound of soft rain falling on the winniemobile and had anticipated a cool and rainy day. Au contraire! By the time we were up and about the skies were blue, there were wispy clouds hanging around the top of the Tetons and the air smelled that rich piney smell after it rains. Truly divine! (Picture of the day – Mr. Ned looking mighty fine in front of the Grand Tetons). We had agreed to connect up with the family at noon, so decided to make good use of our time this morning. We did a little site-seeing through-out the park, visiting Jackson Lodge and enjoyed a mid morning hike at Jenny Lake. My favorite morning so far! After we connected with the gang at noonish, Ned and I decided to forge ahead into Yellowstone Park and try and get everyone campsites for two days. Along the way we spotted a Bison next to the roadway – very cool. We had a fun late afternoon & evening, drinking wine and sharing a meal. We took a little stroll down to Yellowstone Lake and got some great shots of the cloud reflections in the water and dusk. A light rain begin in the evening, just in time for bed.
