OK, we have not had Internet connection until tonight at Bill and Kaye's Terry's second cousins day 6 so I will report on day 3, 4, and 5 briefly and then will hopefully post later with day 6 which of course is today Sunday, August 15th!
So at 11:37 on day 3 we entered Yellowstone and the temps were 64 degrees! we arrived at Old Faithful and it erupted at 4:15! At 5:30 pm on Thursday we entered the Grand Teton National Park and found ourselves at an elevation of 8262 at the continental divide!
Amazingly beautiful country ... what a joy to experience together.
We arrived in Jackson Hole Wy at 7:30 in the evening extremely tired and we stayed in a "hole" no remote for the TV, only hot running water occasionally, no phone, no comfortable bed but it was only for a night so what can we say.
We were thankful to be on the road again on day 4 and after traveling 1266 miles so far we entered Idaho Falls. Breakfast today was krispy kremes for Terry and fruit, yogurt and coffee for me. Oh did I say that was our drive-thru gas station breakfast? Oh and we purchased 4 for $2 2 M&Ms in honor of Sid, Pru, and Annika for Nana and 1 twix and 1 snickers for Bampa. At 4:30 pm we signed up for a room at the Super 8 and had dinner at JR's bar and grill at Elko. Not to be mistaken for where Ashley's friend Cassie lives. Whew ... what a day!
So you may be wondering about day 5 ... boring ... no seeing, no doing, just driving and finally arriving at our lovely destination of the 5 star hotel, motel, room in Hat Creek at Terry's second cousin's house. We enjoyed a time of visiting, eating steak, baked potatoes, salad and the lovely company of Kenny, Karen, Bill, Kaye, Mariah, and Kayla!
Later in the evening we played Mexican Train, a game. I was doing well when we had to play one more game and darn Terry won that game! Oh well I am going to try my luck one more time tonight.
