We took a leisurely 80 mile drive up to the South Rim (yes, they have one here too) and back. The low 40's temperature with no rain make the trip seem tropical compared to yesterday. Lots of wildlife along the way; bison, elk, and a moose, I think, off in the horizon. We've yet to see a bear. Hopefully tomorrow.
My iPhone has still not come back to life. I've been handling it quite well if I don't say so myself. Having my ipad has made it a bit easier. I called the AT&T store in Jackson. They have a few new iPhone 5s' in stock for tomorrow's debut. It's doubtful, but possible that they will still have them in stock when we arrive late afternoon.
We got back to West Yellowstone around 3 p.m. and went to the local taqueria for lunch. I had two veggie tacos. Eric had a fish burrito. We chatted for awhile with the owner who relocated from Orange County seven years ago. She lives here with her husband and three kids. Her 13 year old son plays on the local football team. They can only field enough for 6v6 and travel up to four hours away for away games. I guess that is the way it is out here. Huge distances between everything.
After having dinner at Madison Crossing, the same place we went to last night, we went to the Wild West for a beer (a ginger ale for Eric). There was a big turn out for the Thursday Night Football game. A decidedly pro Kansas City crowd. An interesting slice of the place; the men's room door had a sign that said "Pistols" on it. The women's room said "Holsters". A western spin on life.
Below are a sampling of photos and a video from today. Enjoy!
