With Monday fast approaching I’m falling behind on my preparations. I’ve got to make a checklist and check it twice and find out what I don’t have and what I can fit in my luggage for the great trek to Yellowstone. Based on the information I’ve gleaned from the Kevin Costner television show. What I’ll need is a horse, several guns, a homicidal sidekick, a federal law enforcement elected office, a highly dysfunctional family and a one hundred-thousand-acre cattle ranch. With these assets I’ll be able to correctly experience Yellowstone.
But really, I’ve got a bunch of things I have to do in the next couple of days. Stuff that won’t get done for a week and a half like cutting the grass and adjusting the pH on the pool. And I’ve got to pack my photo equipment and clothes and stuff. I’ve got to take out a life insurance policy with a double indemnity clause that covers being eaten by a grizzly bear.
Because of all this activity I expect posting will be reduced. And for the length of the trip, July 11th through the 20th, I expect I’ll barely be able to get online. I hope to load up some photos from the trip but even that may be difficult and intermittent. So, bear with me for the present. And when I return, I’ll be a real American hero like Teddy Roosevelt or Kevin Costner and I’ll dispense two-fisted justice to any dog faced pony soldier who stands against the big sky country philosophy that will saturate me after my return.
I envy you your trip. Though I’m retired, my wife’s altzheimers make it impossible to travel more than a day trip. That cost me my dream trip. I really wanted to do an Amtrack from New Orleans to the west coast, up the west coast and across the northern US terminating in Chicago. All of that in those double decker cars going through all of those mountains, river gorges and impossibly high bridges. You can get off at any town, rent a car, explore and catch the next daily train or a week later, repeat as many times as you… Read more »
Hey Tom, I’m sorry to hear things are so hard. That does sound like a great trip.
Safe travels, photog! Sounds like an amazing trip.
Thanks Tyler. So far it’s been phenomenal.
