One last area of Yellowstone to visit is the northern most village of Mammoth – it used to be an army post at one time – the park was administered by the army at one time before the park was established. Park employees and others actually live there. There is a hotel, post office, museum and other buildings.
I thought it was really neat how the flowers are protected from deer and elk – maybe buffalo too?
The sky is changing fast – we head to the grill for some ice cream and a table to wait out the storm.
We wait awhile but can see it isn’t going to stop soon so make a dash to the car and start the long drive back to the campground – we are about in the middle of the park – a big park = you can spend a lot of time driving seeing things.
Weather clearing up and we spot some elk – disappointed this trip – very few animals beside buffalo have we spotted this trip – but great to have seen the bear and the wolves.

well this is it from Yellowstone – on to Montana now and well be up at Glacier National Park soon. I hope I haven’t been boring you much – really doubt that Tumbler quilt top will get done before we get home LOL – haven’t touched it some days – the sock loom will have to wait – I looked at it and can’t figure the thing out!! Maybe I will have another look soon.
not boring, no! 🙂 Catching up on a few days posts…going to read the earlier ones now. That is ingenious in regards to the way the flowers are protected, and don’t sew when you don’t feel like it / after all this is vacation time 🙂
Boring? Not on your life! I take hand sewing stuff with me … we have a 13+ hour drive (that we’ve traveled so many times … although I always put it down when we drive through the Smokies so I can enjoy the view) so I know I’ll get plenty of stitching done in the car. Whether I get much done once we get there is another story. 😉
Not bored at all! I’m enjoying your vacation with you. Can’t wait to see the next stop. Safe travels!
Who wants to be quilting with your head down when there’s so much beauty to be seen? And I’d trade just one exciting viewing of the bear and the wolves for many sightings of animals just standing there any day — you hit the jackpot in my eyes. Definitely not boring — I’m enjoying your trip — thanks for taking us along!!!
NOT boring! Love your pictures and reading about the places you have been. Have fun and be safe.
I have really enjoyed the pics! I say enjoy the trip and don’t worry about the stitching, your ufo’s will be there when you are ready. I visited a blog yesterday that featured some tumbler quilts and they called it a thimble quilt. I think it might have been Temecula Quilt Co. I had never heard it called that.
The ‘traveling’ is THE thing, the handwork will be there for later. Lovin’ the travelogue!
Never boring, keep posting. So great to see the pictures of beloved places.
What a delightful trip! Boring? Not a chance! Probably the only way a few of us will ever see the area.
Please don’t stop sharing your pictures and stories of your adventures with us! I am loving every bit of it. I am also taking notes about some of the places so that next time we travel out that way we can follow in your footsteps!
You are helping me with planning our vacation to Yellowstone next year! Keep the photos coming!
