'18/#13 Settling In

It has been a week since we arrived in West Yellowstone and today is day four of work. Everyone has been real nice and it looks like we will have a great summer. Our schedule is still in flux until training is completed so days off are kind of random. We will have one day off, work one day and have two more days off before we are in our regular schedule.

Saturday we will head into Idaho Falls to do some shopping and try and see some waterfalls along the way. Then during the week we will head into Yellowstone National Park. Our current location is just 5 minutes outside the park's West gate. In fact just over the fence behind our trailer is Yellowstone National Park.
Our guests have been coming back from the park telling us about buffalo, elk, and bear sightings. There have been quite a few babies with their mothers in the buffalo and bear sightings. We have seen baby buffalo before but not bear cubs with their mothers...at least not in the wild. 

Some of the roads in Yellowstone are still closed and there has been an avalanche or two reported on the east side of the park. The northern side of the park is reporting 8-12 feet of snow off the roadways. The roads themselves are clear but hiking any of the trails is not possible at this time. We will check in with the park rangers when we head into the park. 

Well I will sign off for now since we are at work in the RV park we are calling home for the summer because....

Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
