Yellowstone day 31 and 32

Back to our neighbors....he was a proud Army VET, all his clothing had reference to his years of service in Vietnam and beyond.  He and his wife, along with 11 week Yorkie puppies came from Fla to support a local band they follow back home.  He has a contracto be here for a month performing 3 times weekly.  The puppies are adorable. - Coco and Channel.  Coco is the curious one constantly getting into things and quite a handful.  Channel more reticent quietly observing her sister being chastised.  Both are housed in a pack n play divided into piddle pad and sleeping area where they cuddle one another.  ANY estrogen my body still had the ability to lie as I held these little 6# boney balls of soft fur!  Both Yorkies andLucy's  breed are from the part of England from whence my family hailed.  So I think it is reasonable that I get one! OK back to reality
After we settled in early that afternoon, we took a drive through the lower part of the park.  It did not seem to be overly crowded until we got to the Crater area.  There are three ways to traverse the park.  The northern route is over 100 miles around traveling anywhere from stop to 35mph.  Yellowstone was not on our agenda to start off, but I am really glad we came.  This came about when I pointed out to the R that I wanted to go to SD and the Badlands on our way back.  His plan did not include this because it would take us out of our way heading back.  However, Crater Lake was out of our way too, so he relented!
