Our 12-volt house batteries have been giving us some problems the past two days; apparently not hold -ing sufficient enough charge to run our propane heating system. And, as we’ve no electricity at our site in Yellowstone, the 33o temperatures outside made for a chilly morning in our motor home.
Therefore, we grabbed juice and coffee (only) and got underway earlier than usual. We had not even reached the road when the driveway was blocked by a lumbering bison. Once he moved on, we turned left toward the park’s east entrance, only to find the road also at the mercy of more bison. 
(once again, close enough to pet)
Once the roadway was clear, we passed more thermal “smokers”
before beginning a climb up through a cloud of haze and smoke (from both controlled burns and fires caused by lightning which the Forest Service is attempting to manage the actual burning) 
to an 8,800’ pass, after which all we have seen are crystal blue skies for the day. A long winding road with steep drops beyond the shoulder provided some stunning views of a canyon below as we drove the 27 miles to the park’s entrance.
Even more spectacular, however, were the reflections from a roadside lake we passed. 
Our next stop was an unexpected one, at the Buffalo Bill Dam at the east end of Buffalo Bill Reservoir 
which, when built in 1910, was the world’s tallest, at 390’. Looking down the face if the dam is a dizzying experience … 
with the Shoshone River below winding its way through a narrow canyon where additional power plants are now located. 
Three tunnels later cut through solid rock … initially by hand using picks, shovels and dynamite. 
and we entered Cody, Wyoming. With a population of slightly over 8,000, it seemed like a major metropolis after having passed through such towns as Emblem, Wyoming which boasts to having a population of 10 people!
Everything about Cody, as you might expect, is Buffalo Bill themed. 
Just got to thinking, technically speaking, the American Buffalo, for which “Buffalo” Bill Cody became famous, is really a Bison. But, somehow Bison Bill doesn’t have the same ring as Buffalo Bill.
Leaving Cody, we spotted a most unusual log structure on a hill above us. 
The landscape between Cody and Greybull is pretty desolate 
until you get close to Greybull where farming is one of major industries. 
It is also home to an air museum dedicated to the men and women who fight forest fires. 
Unfortunately, it was closed; whether because it is Saturday or permanently we could not determine. However, from some of the distant views we had from beyond the airfield’s fence, it is possible the place has become a air plane graveyard.
We arrived at our campground around noon … in time to catch-up on this blog (we’ve had no Internet for several days), some paperwork, and perhaps take a nap before it’s “Wine Time”.
We also discovered the 110v hot water light is not working. Time will tell if there is any issues with the shore power heater. If so, at least we can fall back on our propane system.
Finally, while pumping out our “black” water tank, one of our sewer hose connections let go … what a smelly, sh—y mess!

Thanks for your article. One other thing is when you are selling your property on your own, one of the issues you need to be aware of upfront is when to deal with property inspection reviews. As a FSBO vendor, the key to successfully moving your property and saving money on real estate agent income is awareness. The more you realize, the simpler your property sales effort will probably be. One area in which this is particularly essential is assessments.

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

I have mastered some significant things through your blog post. One other point I would like to convey is that there are numerous games that you can buy which are designed especially for preschool age kids. They consist of pattern acknowledgement, colors, wildlife, and models. These usually focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This will keep children engaged without feeling like they are learning. Thanks

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
One thing I want to say is that often before getting more computer system memory, look into the machine in which it is installed. When the machine is definitely running Windows XP, for instance, the memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Adding over this would merely constitute just a waste. Be sure that one’s mother board can handle the upgrade volume, as well. Thanks for your blog post.
Thanks for your blog post. I would also love to say a health insurance broker also works well with the benefit of the coordinators of any group insurance policies. The health insurance agent is given a directory of benefits sought by someone or a group coordinator. What any broker really does is hunt for individuals or maybe coordinators which best go with those wants. Then he provides his ideas and if both parties agree, this broker formulates a binding agreement between the 2 parties.
