I was reading with interest the description of your trip and realized that while you were heading West on the Beartooth Hwy, we were heading East – the same day at the same time – we stayed the night at Silvergate, MN – just outside the NE entrance to Yellowstone and immediately West of the Beartooth HWY – we had been there for three days – and were heading eventually back to Nebraska – Clearwater – where my sister and husband and family live…so Rapid City was our destination on Friday…Red Lodge, as you know, is just on the East end of that road – so somewhere, who knows exactly where, we crossed paths – if you saw a red maroon chevy van on the side of the road with six people throwing snow at each other at the summit – that was us! We too saw the motorcycles, commented on their heavy presence in Red Lodge, and wondered what the excitement was all about… Yellowstone is a grand place – we enjoyed it very much – and wondered about all of the people with cameras, and actually thought that we too could start a traffic jam if only I had the courage to jump out of the van with SLR and video camera in hand, wildly pointi at something that wasn’t there and then wait to see how many people “followed the lemming over the cliff!”

So glad you are making this trip – have a lovely time and safe travels.

California, here I come
Right back where I started from.
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the spring.
Each morning at dawning,
Birdies sing an’ everything.
A sunkist miss said, “Don’t be late”
That’s why I can hardly wait.
Open up that Golden Gate,
California here I come.

Love the stories – keep em coming!

So, the banana cream pie was really “pie in the sky”! How funny! Werling that I am, I think I would have been quite upset by that….You are very good-natured and take things in stride — a good lesson for all of us!

What’s next???? K.C. seems so boring right now….

Love,
