So I finally got all the pictures from Yellowston together. We spent three nights there in a cabin in Canyon Village. No tv, internet, radio or anything. Oh and it was an absolute blizzard the whole time we were there. Not what you expect in the middle of June. It was a good time though. We saw the whole park and spotted tons of wildlife.(Thanks to my mom the scout) We ran into some trouble on the way out however. We got up early for our 400 mile drive to Rapid City and headed toward the east enterance of the park. When we got within ten miles of it or so we were told that the enterance was closed due to the snow. This meant that we had to drive about four hours out of our way back through the park to go out the northeast enterance. It was quite a frustrating drive through more and more snow squalls, but eventually we made it to rapid city twelve hours later. Here's some pictures from Yellowstone

We went to Mt. Rushmore today and the Crazy Horse Monument. I'll put pictures of that up with some pictures from Badlands tomorrow. Next stop Mitchell, SD... Four days till Boston!
