Our first few days in the "Stone"

May 11, 2010. We had two days to get the trailer in order than we had to head to Gardiner, Mt. for training. But before heading out Mia and Molly had to have their morning walk. There was quite a bit of snow as you can see in the photos. Of course we had the good old Bison jam on the way into Gardiner. These guys act like they own the road as they are always walking the roadways. They are a very interesting animal and they are becoming one of my favorites. Besides the Bison we saw Elk and Deer but that was it. On the way back from Gardiner we stopped off at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The view of the falls were taken at Artist Point. This is a favorite spot of ours as the views are outstanding. There is a trail on both sides of the canyon which is a nice hike and offers fantastic views. We will do the hikes when the weather gets warmer. We also stopped by the Lake Yellowstone Hotel where I work as the Ass't Mgr. of the gift shop. It is the oldest hotel in the park and the oldest wooden structure hotel in the United States.

Night fall brings the snow and it is a beautiful sight as you can see from the photo. Not much to do at night although I do have direct TV. I have a portable dish which I keep here and bring one of the receivers from home. There is no cell phone service here but in the RV park I do have a land line and dial up internet. Well that is it for now. More coming.
