Keeping My Head Above Water
We made our first trip into Yellowstone National Park this year, also the first in about a year. This trip had been on the calendar for three months. Originally planned for the weekend the West gate reopened, but we pushed it back a week. We were excited enough that we arrived too early for check-in…
