Shannon and I have made it to BOZEMAN! I got through Sky Harbor Airport after having to walk about a mile to the 2nd terminal where Delta was. I thought when people said the next terminal, I was thinking like RSW and just at the end of the road. I should have had Jack drive me, but he was long gone so I had to walk while dragging my suitcase. But glad I had 2 hours to spare because I probably would have missed my flight otherwise. ANYWAY, this will probably be my last time flying anyway! So here was my first picture of the trip:

We were in the back of the plane both flights – the very last row from SLC to Bozeman! They were good flights though – pretty quick. We picked up our rental car and it was easy. It’s a Toyota RAV4 and is difficult to drive – 2026 and it’s and EV and GAS. Very confusing. I made a couple of mistakes – left my watch charger at home. The charger for the car I bought doesn’t work because there is no cigarette charger in it. At least we can’t find it. I’m gonna keep looking. I think I’ll ask ChatGPT if there is one in the car.

Took a selfie with my first bear – in the airport at Bozeman!

This is our hotel in Belgrade/Bozeman. It’s very new and very nice. That is our RAV4 in front of the hotel. We left at 8:30 to go to Yellowstone. This was one of the snowy mountains:

We got to YNP on a beautiful sunny day. Pictures at the sign:

It was an amazing experience! It started to snow while we were traveling! It kept getting worse and worse. The trees were beautiful though and Bill and Cathy say the snow on the mountains will be beautiful tomorrow. No snow on the trees though. After getting to our cabin at Lake Lodge, Bill and Cathy made us lasagna for dinner. It was so delicious. It was amazing. We had a great time. Tomorrow, we go on a bus tour ALL DAY LONG. It will be great for Shannon since she hasn’t been here before. I’ll enjoy it also I’m sure! Here are a couple of other pictures from today:

Another picture at the smaller YELLOWSTONE sign:


We saw this geyser by the side of the road. First one Shannon ever saw before.
