We hope to go - it works out well for us to work this in with a visit with my sister and her family in Denver (Highland Ranch) and my family in Boise - PLUS it is a fun get together with lots of fun stuff to do and great people. Won't be too soon to start planning the adventrue getting there - going to be hard to top last year!

Winter park is a great place

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Well, try as we might, we aren't going to be able to go this year. We're both really disappointed but we're caught up in some family issues that just won't allow us to get there. Jack has to make a trip to Idaho to handle some things with his family and I have some things going on with my family here, so we had to bail. I'm so sorry that things turned out this way and we hope any of you that are still planning on going will have a wonderful time!
(Gina and Dave: If either of you are still planning on the trip, let me know and maybe you can pick up our goods. You would certainly be welcome to use our tickets for the dinner!)

Thanks Gina - Family things just have to take priority and in this case we have to cover two families at the same time. I will be in the Boise area and I'll have a computer so if you and Dave - and hopefully some ohters - might be winging thru Boise, maybe even staying the night, we can probably work out a get together. I'll be watching.

Dave and I had a great drive today through some of the territory you guys covered last year. We're all ensconced for the night at Reflections B & B in Idaho. Time to chill a little.

We've made it to Gardiner, MT, just north of Yellowstone which we will hit tomorrow. Had another good drive today although we got held up in construction work and then had to go easy in the freshly oiled and rocked twisties up to Lolo pass. The other construction delays were just slow downs and didn't really affect us timewise. And just like last year's run, we ran into a thunderstorm but most of the rain fell away from us. Our earlier rain dump actually helped clean off the hundreds of dead grasshoppers that were coated on the front of our cars but the rain nicely washed most of them off. There have been three elk making themselves at home across the street from our hotel and they just eat grass and let people take their pictures. Hopefully, we'll see more wildlife tomorrow.

Dave and Gina - Nice getting the trip reports - wish we could have done the trip again last year but it just wasn't to be. It has been right at 100 every day here in Boise - and I'm not getting used to it! Heading for home on Tuesday! Hope you are getting some good pictures along the way and that MITM is as much fun as it has been the last couple of years.

Yeah, we drove through some fresh oil spots up to Lolo last week but not too much. Hope you didn't stay at that same crappy hotel in Gardner! Did you see the guy driving a couple horses pulling a wagon on Highway 12 near Orofino?

Today was Yellowstone!!! The weather was fabulous and we got to see a lot. First off, we had a close encounter with a buffalo.
He came walking by rather nonchalantly and just moseyed down the road.

Leeanne, to answer your questions, no, we didn't stay in the Super 8 in Gardiner; we stayed at the Comfort Inn. We had elk meatloaf for dinner in their pub --- Awesome! (I also checked out the cute bartender - who is the owner's son and shot many of the trophys on the walls.) The pub also had some great local beers. We didn't see the guy with the horsedrawn wagon, sorry.
We are now ensconced in Pinedale, WY -- a cute little wide spot in the road. We're off to dinner -- maybe some local beef tonight.......

We not only had our close encounter with the buffalo but further down the road we saw this. After only seeing a few elk last year we got to see a buffalo herd and the idiots who decided they needed to get up close and personal in front of them. Still, no bear or moose but a lot of buffalo and this time it was sunny and warm all day long.

Sorry, no pictures today; it was a long drive from Pinedale to Green River. The scenery was gorgeous and the twisty roads were great - freshly paved with virtually no traffic. For those of you contemplating this trip in the future, we would highly recommend you have your lunch stop in Vernal, UT the Quarry Steakhouse and Brewpub (on Vernal Ave - the main drag). The place is clean and beautifully appointed; the food was excellent and the prices very reasonable. Besides, how can you argue with a place
that has Polygamy Porter (why stop at one?) on tap!
I had one scary moment today. A car ahead of me had a major wheel emergency and the hubcap came right at me. I had to make a majorly dangerous swerve to avoid it. It was a good thing there was very little other traffic on the road or I might have been in major trouble. We're now safely arrived at Green River and getting ready to go out and find some dinner. Tomorrow we get to Winter Park. We'll report back then.
