Days 10-11: from Edmonton to Yellowstone through Great Falls

Bye- Bye mall, we'll be back

ohhh, now they sleep. We were in Edmonton for 30 hours and they spent over 20 hours at the mall.

this is rush hour on Hwy 2 in Edmonton. Can you belive I have to share the road with 4 other vehicles.

on to Calgary

Stop, I am trying to write a postcard. (ps. she just mailed the post card 2 weeks after we got home)

This was at the last visitor center in Canada before Montana.

The border station was tore up for construction. It was a stinky mess.

Welcome to Montana, we got to see a few lightning strikes on our way to Great Falls.

Oscar messin' with Hunter after getting back from doing laundry. They got to see a thunderstorm when they were at the laundrymat. I was sleeping at the hotel until the television started alarming with the thunderstorm warning.

This must be the Great Falls that this city was named after.

this was on Hwy 89 which is listed as an American Byway. The scenery was fantastic.

Ohh great, more traffic. Unlike some of the irritated locals, we just turned off the van and waited until they passed. They left a whole lot of presents along the road. It gave the outside of the van a lovely aroma which I got to smell again a few days later when I washed the van.

on to Yellowstone. We entered through the North entrance and our hotel is on the West Entrance.

entering Wyoming and the 45th parallel.

ok???, we saw the moose, deer, and pedestrian crossings, now we have to watch for people with Hula-Hoops?

this is the web cam for the Mammoth Hot Springs Web Cam. It was neat to see the camera that we had been logging on to for the past 6 months while we were planning this trip.

here is Nicole starting a new world wide fashion trend. She keeps un-even.

...and to our left we have more steam with the lovely smell of rotten eggs. Please notice how the lovely smell stays with you even after returning to your vehicle. Later on at night you can enjoy the smell when you take your shower.;-)

We made it to the hotel. The room was fantastic.

We have to bring the luggage up how many floors?
