A Letter From Uncle John

I dug the old typewriter out of the attic and brought it to school for our story "Click Clack Moo". I unzipped the case just as the kids came to the carpet to sit and I was greeted with this interesting surprise. It took a moment to process and the kids were a bit confused.

You have to see the BABY!

Went to Meridian, saw the baby, nuff said.




Nebraska can go to H377!

Day 3: Nebraska was flat. Nebraska had nowhere to camp. Nebraska had sooo many activities that all hotels were booked. Nebraska had storms. We found Ken's hotel in Nebraska. It was only 10 miles off the beaten path. Nebraska was not cool with me eating a salad. Nebraska had cattle trucks. Said cattle truck rained down a hellish brown mist. Never draft a cattle truck!

Campsite #2

Camp #2 rested just a few miles outside of Yellowstone proper. We found ourselves in a canyon a dozen or so feet off the Shoshone River. Dipped the toes in. The dire bear warnings were a bit off-putting however the giant BEARBOX put us at ease. I forced Alea to hike a very small cliff on the other side of the canyon. She was not very happy.
Wind River Canyon, the next day, put the wind back in her sails.

Smack dab in the middle is the tiny white jeep, parked in front of the site.

Hot animals of Yellowstone

It was forever annoying to sit in Yellowstone gridlock for 45 minutes to find out that everyone was stopping to take pictures of wildlife.

If you can't beat em, join em.
