We camped along the Madison River northwest of Yellowstone.

Greg drove up from Tucson and met us at Madison Jct. Campground in Yellowstone.

We bathed in hot springs along the    Madison River. 

We hiked up to a mountain lake on our off day. A burned log was a perfect place for Jerry to take a nap.

The Geyser Basin was just one of the many places to visit in Yellowstone.

Old Faithful was spectacular even though we had to share the view with thousands.

The remains of a harsh winter reminds us that life isn't easy for all.

Entering Mormon Country

The inside of this church was designed by ship builders who integrated large wood carvings into the interior design. 

The 35 mile ride up to Monte Christo Pass was the most difficult ride of the tour. We sang every song we knew to keep our minds off the struggle to the top.

We occupied a plush suite at this exclusive Salt Lake City Motel.
