That Other Season - Road Construction

This morning we hitched up the trailer, loaded Zaph into the truck and headed for Yellowstone National Park. The plan was to enter the park at the East Entrance drive to the North Entrance and land at an RV park in Gardiner Montana. As dogs are not allowed on any trails or boardwalks in the national park we opted to stay outside of the park in Gardiner where Zaph would be able to walk around town. For once we lucked out, it looked like we were going to be stopped at the beginning of the road construction (and would have to wait the warned about 30 minutes) but we were waved on past the stop sign. During the drive through the park we saw some spectacular views, many buffalo, mule deer and steaming water --- can't wait till we go into the park tomorrow to get a closer look.

Mother Nature couldn't make up her mind --- it was raining and the sun was shining causing the "sun ray affect".
