Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Friday, June 18, 2010
So, weather report says tht it will be 29 tonight..good thing we aren't in a tent! Today was an very beautiful day although obviously very cold. We woke up to flurries. We went into the park to cover the last of the territory that we hadn't. We drove by Yellowstone Lake and saw the rustic lodge. And then, we had to make a pitstop at the Clinic. Jack has had an awful cough and it is a really rough sounding one; after three hours, we learned that he has croupe. The doctor believes that his lungs were swelling from stuff in this high altitude. He did a breathing treatment there, was put on some steroids for the swelling, and had to use and inhaler for the next days. After the clinic, we got back on the road. We went to see the Upper and Lower Falls (they call it Little Niagra) and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. It was UNBELIEVABLE! We continued to search for bear until dark, but had no more luck there. We did see more elk and take a walk to the Mud Volcano. Tommorrow, it is off to the Grand Tetons!
PS....Tony started playing Jack's DS while we were in the office and he is hooked!
