Yellowstone- Here I Come!

Posted by jennifer on October 13, 2007 in Travel.

Well, as some of you sit in your warm living rooms in different places on the earth, I sit here with a cup of decaf, a fire in the fireplace and my Uggs on the coffee table watching yet another episode of Survivorman.
Yellowstone is now "in stone" happening at the end of the month. Sandrine will be joining me (my dog trainer friend from Paris) to get the trip in before she has to head back to France for a while. I bought some maps today and am getting the hook-up from Mission: Wolf as to who to contact, etc. It's going to be great but I'm definetly going to be spending more time up there so expect more trips in the near future. The park in itself is so big that it's impossible to see it all at once and depending on the wolves we see, one pack could be far away from another one.
As far as getting there, I HAVE to get some snow chains for my car. I'm really hoping to get through the first few months of winter without a problem but I need to get a Jeep. It's really impracticle for me not having 4 wheel drive with all the places I go to. I'm so excited for it to snow soon! The ski lifts are opening and you better believe that those who can ski will have to come & visit this winter. If only my brother wasn't having a baby soon- he's an incredible snowboarder.
I have to start also getting Elvis into Avalanche training. On my list of things to do... Also have to get a pair of snowshoes incase I get stuck somewhere in my car. I'm not kidding- there has been times before when I've gotten totally stuck up at M:W and had to use my shovel to try and dig my way out. Always an adventure and I'm so excited I got the coolest winter hat today!
I'll keep you posted but Yellowstone trip 1 is officially on the calendar. I'll post some video blogs when I'm done for sure ;-)
Goodnight...
- Jennifer
