  • Yellowstone Snow

    0640 28° F – Snow This was the view from bed as we woke to a quiet blanket of snow. About four inches coated everything in Bridge Bay. We felt bad for folks in pup tents. After a breakfast of hot oatmeal, we walked to the Marina Store. Asking about anti-freeze, a kind campground employee…

Tunnels help avoid climbing over some of the steeper slopes. Our third crossing of the continental divide is over Vail Pass. By 1030 we reached the Georgetown Visitor’s…
