Where am I? That is the question I asked when I woke up in the morning at Yellowstone. Besides the fact that hardly anyone spoke English, the landscape was so weird. It seemed like another planet. It was hard to comprehend. I had to stick my hand into one of those pools of hot water, no I didn't see the sign, Jenica. I'm sure the old timers figured out a way to take a bath there, in spite of burning acid or whatever. Jenica had a date with a buffalo while here, she took a picture but was shaking too much for it to turn out. Unfortunately, much of yellowstone was burning while we were here. We saw the flames from the road. The entrance was closed the day before and the day after we arrived. There weren't as many people visiting as a result of the fires.

Yellowstone

New Friends
s
We met some new friends in the land of our ancestors. This is Tatonka and Wapiti. They are our Indian guides for the trip. We met them in Wyoming where they begged us for a ride. Why is that these visitors always seem to find us on trips??? Anyway, Wapiti decided to stay in California with Jen, and Tatonka is going to Iowa. I think he is a bit jealous cuz it is so gorgeous here in CA. The landscaping around Jen's neighborhood makes you think of paradise. Going for a walk is like taking a vacation.

Bad Lands
We took a tour through the Badlands. The day we were here we got out and hiked, the temp was 115 degrees, of course we went off the beaten trail. Jenica says I am oblivious to warning signs. Really, I swear, I didn't see it. We didn't take water with us either. We decided to turn back when we started getting dizzy and then we realized we were in a maze and had to work to find our way out. It was so cool.
Crater Lake
Jenica and I took a trip to Loma Linda so she can go to grad school. We took 10 days to get to the LA area, we took the scenic route through South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Northern CA. We didn't have any guys with us so we stopped and saw everything we ever or never wanted to see. We didn't care if the car passed us that we just passed and we stopped and to pee when needed, no hassles.
This is us at Crater Lake. We had a professional photographer take this picture! No, really. He did it for free.
