The road to Old Faithful is open

Once again we had two days off. This time we were able to go some place-not like last week. Thursday we went to Bozeman to shop and have lunch. Had a great day-found lots of bargains. Had a nice lunch at a new place.

Friday was the first day that the park roads to Old Faithful Inn and Canyon Lodge havebeen open. Of course NK and I were first in line when they took down the barricade. Off we went to Old Faithful-it was a beautiful ride. The snow was 14’ to 15’ deep in places. It was like driving thru a tunnel. You wouldn’t believe all the snow. It was up to the roofs in some places.

We were surprise to find that the visitors center and the Grill were open. We were able to have a nice hot lunch instead of the brown bag lunch we had brought with us.

After lots of pictures we headed of to Canyon and the lower falls. More snow. The falls were beautiful. We had a great two days off. Have to be to work at 10.
