Day 6

       Not much to note today. We woke up rather early this morning and went to see the Mammoth Hot Springs. Though slightly disappointed due to the fact that the majority of the feature has dried up and is starting to crumble, we were able to see some new features forming for future generations.
       After Mammoth, we left Yellowstone and set out toward our next destination: Great Falls, MT. After a decent 4 hour drive through the ever changing landscape (we even saw the tail end of a cattle drive), we arrived at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, which was thouroughly enjoyable for all of us! We then saw the Giant Springs: a large freshwater spring that flows into the Missouri River and headed to our lodging for the night.
       Now we are in our hotel, which is a nice Best Western with good wifi. Kendal and Dad went to the pool, and we are also doing laundry. Tomorrow we venture into Glacier National Park so... Adios!           ~Logan
RTC:
Grandma: I think the horse won, because the little ground squirrel went flying into the brush! No fireworks except for the lightning in the sky. >.< That smoke alarm scenario doesn't sound pleasant, but I'm glad it turned out okay! =) Looking forward to that jam!!

  1. Logan,

    Nice blogs the last few days. If you don't mind, I would like to use your line on Michael ... if he does not work, he does not eat ... that will most likely save me a fortune in food.

  2. Good morning to all,
    Loved the picture of Napoleon and sidekick!
    Funny how we make our plans and as GPS Lola says we end up recalculating. My plans - puts sheets on the line, take the Knox Blocks I'd promised to Nancy Taylor (had knee replacement), pick up prescriptions @ 11:30 a.m. All changed when I awoke to a downpour (6/10 inch, & CVS called to say they had to order meds, so they wouldn't be ready until 5 p.m.). Dorothy Gillis just called to see if I could pick up some things from her to take to the thrift store and Uncle Donald called yesterday to see if I was ready to make some "14 Day Pickle" for him. These two calls reminded me my devotion this morning said, "Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, for all the people you can, while you can." SO I'll be happy doing just that.

    Have a great day in the Lord. Love to you all, Grandma
