Butte, MT \/ Gardiner, MT (Yellowstone National Park)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not a very productive day driving and everyone a bit annoyed being cooped up. \u00a0We stopped after only about 1 1\/2 hours, driven crazy by constant “get out, get out<\/em>” but Yellowstone National Park is as good a destination as any. \u00a0There was no accommodation available in the Park so we are staying at the North gate in Gardiner at the Absaroska Lodge – very nice, overlooking Yellowstone River. \u00a0The problem is that B can open the door so we have to barricade it with suitcases.<\/p>\n

We had a lovely drive along the North route of the Park to Rooseveldt Lodge where we bought a picnic lunch and took it to the picnic area in the Park. \u00a0Big label on the picnic table :\u00a0Bears Inhabit This Area ….\u00a0<\/em>along with instructions of what to do in the event thereof. \u00a0Basically you pick up your food and get in the car – and don’t dilly-daddle.<\/p>\n

We also visited some hot springs and saw lots of Elk on the hotel lawn. \u00a0Elk, squirrel, crow, duck – the extent of our wild-life viewing to date!<\/p>\n
