Yell, oh stone!

We are in Kellogg, Idaho, enjoying the hotel air conditioning and hot showers.

We took a day trip to Grand Teton National Park yesterday, and then returned to Yellowstone National Park for a third and final night of camping.

Custer State Park in South Dakota had amazing sparkle-rock and glitter dirt, dramatic rock formations, and tons o' large critters.

Yellowstone was eerily beautiful. There were huge, steaming, pots of mud, boiling pools, acid pools, and boiling acid pools. It was all stark, crazy looking, and sulphur-smelling. The ground spat and sputtered. Wow.

The Grand Tetons were just plain purty. There were wild flowers, ragged, ice-capped glaciers and bright blue lakes.

I don't know what the plan is for tomorrow, but tonight I'm enjoying these crisp hotel sheets.
