This past week weekend was a memorable one no doubt. Driod, the Winter's, the Winn's, and C2 headed to what some call the most magnificent place on earth, Yellowstone National Park. We happened to go on "Free National Park Day" which was one of the many blessings we received on this trip.
Highlights:
- Trevor walking down a log on the surface of the lake and violently falling in.
- Roasted Starburst.
- All of the food in general.
- The closeness of our Elk and Bison encounters.
- The campsite, and the cost of the campsite
- Swimming in the freezing water at Firehole (Trev and Ev)
- The views and fresh mountain air
- Canoing on Jenny Lake
- No cell phone service
Lowlights:
- No Bear sighting
- No Steve Bjork
- Too short of a trip (3 day minimum)
- Lack of campsite photo's
- Trevor forgetting the battery to his camera
- Old Faithful (once you do it once, it is just kind of a let down the next time)
- No college football
This trip is one never to be forgotten.

GREAT POST...GREAT TRIP.
Ev, nice work on the video...and such great turn around time!
ps. didn't you like that pic of you jumping in the water that looks like you're just standing on the water? I will take all the credit.
Yes, Les. There are a few pic's where it looks like Trev and I are walking on water.
I'm really impressed with the video. It was a stinkin' fun trip. So Arches 2009?
A low light for me was that my dear brothers did not come too! Way to choose work and college fun over us! Lame!
Ev, I hope you don't mind I paid homage to your June 1st hair tribute in my nascent blog, crediting perhaps genetics for our Evan crafting his own style today.

I too have respect for the bison species...maybe in a different fashion, but a respect none-the-less. Bravo on a great tribute to your wonderful weekend.
Jocey was glued to the video...those weren't like the farm animals she usually sees in her books.

What a trip. And what a vid! Loved it. P.s.- were you guys at Jackson Lake Lodge for some of those pics? I used to work there!
Wow that is a really cool video! I wish I had that kind of talent. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Yellowstone is such a cool place!
