Kiki’s Big Adventure: Day 8 Field Report
Greetings from beautiful West Yellowstone, Montana.
It’s 7 o’clock and a balmy 34°. Yesterday was a long haul from Gillette, Wyoming, through the Big Horn National Forest and Yellowstone National Park. Naturally, one partial day isn’t nearly enough to see all the sights, but I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a grizzly bear, a good long stare at a buffalo, and several views of elk grazing.
I chose to forego Old Faithful, which seems to be the kind of thing that should really be savored, but I did get to see lots of little puffs of steam shooting from the ground in random spots and a smoldering basin or two.
Unsurprisingly, cell/Internet access yesterday (and the day before) was almost non-existant. Even now, in my not-so-budget motel (read: hot tub) wi-fi is slower than the five bars of Edge service I’ve got on my phone. So, I’ve got a “mini” from yesterday that’s uploading now. I’ll do my best, too, to get some more pics posted and respond to a couple of comments before hitting the road for Utah-Nevada-ish.
Goals for today:
- no Slim Jims
- eradicate developing tan lines on tops of my feet
It’s the little things, you know?
