Today was our final full day in the park. I hate that feeling. I know we have to go home and live life, but I just wish I could live life in Yellowstone! It's not easy saying goodbye but I know I will be back. This place brings me a lot of joy and serenity. … Continue reading Yellowstone Fun: Day Five
"Where's the hiking??" I know that's probably what you are asking at the moment, and I wish I had good news but I don't. Aside from boardwalks and a few of the smaller trails, the ones I had planned to do were still closed. To explain more clearly, many of the trail areas in Yellowstone … Continue reading Yellowstone Fun: Day Four

I finally broke down and purchased some new hiking boots. I prefer trail runners, if I am being honest, but with all the rain and snow this past winter I know many of the trails in our highers elevations still have snow on them and will remain muddy for quite some time after it melts. … Continue reading New Boots!
"Be Prepared"... you would think that those are words of wisdom and common sense. However, I have been mercilessly teased over the years by people, friends and strangers a like, for being prepared in life.
