We continued our drive into Yellowstone. It is 22 million acres of Lodgepole pine trees. They look like a telephone pole with a christmas tree on top. Miles and miles of repetative trees. The first hour or two were pretty boring. Then we reached the geothermal section of the park and both of our 'boring' opinions changed to 'awesome'. We stopped at the visitor center to learn that a majority of what were were seeing was new growth because in 1988 a large fire ha...

We slept until 10:30 in our amazing beds. We proceeded to the spat and recieved our massages. I also treated MB to one, she deserves it :). What a great way to start the day. The only problem is the toxic lactic acid that pushed into our blood streams from the previous night of drinking. My body was striking revenge on me for beating my body the previous 8 days. We both hit a wall. Today we are driving through both parks, on a saturday, on free national park da...

After applying patience hats we took the shuttle to the Snake river Brewery for dinner. We both had pizzas (roasted red peppers, goat cheese, truffles) and their IPA. Our next stop was the cowboy bar. It is a tourist trap covered in knobby pine and has saddles as bar stools. We did a shot in the saddles, and then MB was swept off her feet on the dance floor by a spinning cowboy. Soon after we were both being twirled in every direction by aging cowboys. We decid...

Full service spa, roof top hot tub, infinity pool, wonderful staff, beautiful rooms, and completmentary toilietries. I now understand why people pay for 5 star living. We checked in and proceeded directly to the hot tub on the roof. With adult beverages in hand we enjoyed an hour of relaxing scenery overlooking t...

As soon as we were finished horseback riding we were rushed/ushered off to Mad river who is our outfitter to raft the Snake River. The snake was running at 14200 cfs and is a class 2/3. Lots of wave trains, and eddies were non exsistant. We were in an eight man raft with cataract oars in the rear. James our guide really controled the raft. We just helped him through stickey holes. I spotted a bald eagle while we were on this trip flying along the tree line. It w...
