Wyoming and its National Parks

 
Hello to all!   Between camping in National Parks and dry camping we have been without wifi and unable to get a post to the blog!   But here we go......
We had a great 10 days wandering through Wyoming (Carol's birth  state) which is the 10th largest state size wise - but is the least populated of all 50 (somewhere over 500,000 for the whole state!
We spent 2 days in Yellowstone - one day by way of driving from Livingston, MT up the Yellowstone Riverr valley to the north entrance and exploring the Mammoth Pool area and the second time from Cody, WY up the Shoshone River Valley to the east entrance and exploring the Yellowstone Lake and Falls area.

 It had been quite a few years since we had visited Grand Teton N.P. and we made a last minute decision to spend a few days there.  Absolutely gorgeous and a real highlight!

 From The Tetons we made our way south through Wyoming to Rawlins and Cheyenne and we are now in Kinsley Kansas spending time with my  cousin Sally and husband Al and visiting with their son Mark and Family.  We will be here a few days and then start heading east without our trailer which we are leaving behind for our next leg going back to visit friends in North Carolina.
We are looking forward to spending a night in Lawrence, KS with Sally and Al's daughters Josena and Anne before we leave Kansas!

More to come.  Hope you are all well     Don and Carol

  1. Love reading your posts. Told Ten it makes me want to retire and he stuck his thumb out. I said, "I'm not going around the country like that!"

  2. Incredible photos from your trip, Don. I wish Mai is more open to taking trips like this but I doubt I would ever be able to see scenery like these in my lifetime. Enjoy!
