Gonna be nice and cool up there.

Long drive but we are taking our time, 3 days to get up there 4 days at Yellowstone/Tetons and 3 days back

The elk that hang out at the lodge likes to be scratched behind their ears.

Yellowstone and Yosemite on my bucket list. Have a good one Ratz!

you are really lucky

Fun times, take plenty of pics

One of my favorite places to visit in the US. It's just a spectacular place. Weather should be fantastic. The great thing about it is anyone can afford to go there. Park fees are low. You can travel in your own vehicle. You can also do some high end stuff if you like.

I have traveled to a lot of great places. Most of the time I wouldnt go back. However Yellowstone and the Tetons are on my would go back list. The others are on that list are Africa, and Brooks Falls Alaska.

Next trip is to Brazil for Peacock Bass in September then next year Scotland which is my wife's pick.

Bucket list is Austrailia, New Zealand, Belize, Italy. Also would like to make the 6 US states that I have not been in.

Bring a small bag of horse feed, the buffalo you will see on the side of the roads will eat straight from your hand.

Don't try and pet the cougars.

You can however pet the wolves

I saw on TV that Yellowstone sits on one of the biggest and most pent up volcanos on the planet. They say it's a ticking time bomb that could wipe out half the US in one eruption! Hope this doesn't happen on your trip! So have fun and if you can, get a video of you riding a wild buffalo. That would be epic!

Good point. Take a few rolls of tin foil so you can make a shield against the molten lava.

Old faithful is overrated, don't waste your time waiting for it to burp

This reminded me, did I miss hump day this week?

if you can go see
Lonestar Geyser, on the South side
better than Old Faithful & you will have it to yourself
a decent 20 minute hike to get back there
but it has a parking area

Safe travels and enjoy it. Great vacation for sure!
