Greetings from Yellowstone, where the skies are endless blue and the sun is hot and the trees are plentiful, and I can already feel my stress levels decreasing. There will be more to come once I have real internet access, which may not happen until I get back to the bay area.. which I am in no hurry to do.

We have our own private swimming hole!

You can't see power lines or hear cars backfiring or fireworks or gunshots in the distance!

There is so much more to report but it will have to wait. For now, I have a cold beer awaiting me and it's just about time to go to the West Yellowstone Rodeo.

Yee haw!
