The Vacation
Three guys took a vacation to Yellowstone Park in 2008. This is the story of that vacation, recorded as it happened, was captured in my daily blog for the folks at home. I decided to print the blog as a souvenir of the "good times" we had.
We flew to Billings, Montana and rented a car. The next day we drove south to Red Lodge where we stayed at the Pollard Hotel. We continued south over the Beartooth Highway to the Silver Gate entrance to the park. Entering the park, we drove along the Lamar Valley to Tower Junction, and continued to Canyon Village and then Fishing Bridge. We then left the park by the east entrance to stay at Pahaska Tepee.
We visited Cody, Wy. and the Buffalo Bill Museum and then returned to the park. We took pictures at the lookouts for the upper/lower falls of the Yellowstone and then headed for Old Faithful via Norris. Finally, we exited the park by way of West Yellowstone.
We then headed for Virginia City (to see the VC Players) and then we went to Bozeman (to see the Museum of the Rockies) and finally we returned to Billings by following the Yellowstone River. We spent the night in Billings and flew home the next day.
A good time was had by all.
