Day 6 Thurs 16 June 2011
Overnight we had some high winds that shook the trailer a lot and the temp dropped to mid 40 F.
We are in West Yellowstone Montana tonight. The internet access is not good enough to add a picture to the blog tonight - failed twice I am not going to try for 3. (now added 2 days later). Here is the picture of the Buffalo Bill Statue.
Since today was a short drive from Cody WY to Yellowstone we did not rush out of Cody and went on the Trolley Historical ride. We both enjoyed it - lots of history of the area and lots of background on Buffalo Bill Cody (not to be confused with Wild Bill Hickock).
After lunch left for Yellowstone - the drive continued to be very scenic and the sun was still shining. Although cool overnight, it warms up quickly when the sun is out.
As we got into Yellowstone we were amazed to see SNOW - yes that is what we saw, and lots of it. In some places it is still 2 to 3 feet deep on the side of the road; in the bush under the shade of the tress it seems even deeper. Expected low tonight is 28 F - it feels like we are camping in Algonquin in late October - tomorrow's low is forecasted at 32 F with highs in the mid 50's and Sat has flurries in the forecast.

Sharon asked me to tell you that the average ranch in Wyoming is 37,000 acres - clearly bigger than ranches in Texas for what it is worth....
