Ahhh Yellowstone, the best N.P. in the country! We had been dreaming of this part of the trip for a long, long time. Yellowstone has it all: hot springs, geysers, boiling mud pots, the "Little Grand Canyon", peaceful meadows, and wildlife galore. The park is actually one big active volcano that last errupted 640,000 years ago spewing debry as far as Canada/Texas/Ohio. It's due again, anytime... We took our time traveling through the park soaking in the wildlife, ranger talks, and RVs. One night a family of fellow bicycle enthusiasts invited us over for dinner and story sharing ("hi" Joe, Sue, Theresa & Becky!). This was great fun and a much needed release from each other. The intimacy of traveling with each other is probably one of the biggest challenges of the trip. But... we're hanging in there and have surprisingly few blowouts.
