Yellowstone at last

First update from Yellowstone – still no pictures because I left my external hard drive back at the dorms, which is a 6 mile 1000 foot climb away up in BFE.  Technology can be hard to come by, so I will update when I can.  People here are chatty, which leave me uninclined to hang out at the local internet cafe all that long, since I already listen to people talk all day long every day living in a dorm.

It’s not all doom and gloom, though.  The job is good, and I like the people up here, I just don’t get nearly as much quiet time as that to which I am accustomed and enjoy.

I was the only intern to get here with a completed background check, so the other interns had a week to hang out and hike, and since Manny was here that week, he got to go out hiking with them.  Since then, the weather has been crap (including some snow yesterday), so I have yet to get out and hike.  I keep telling myself that it will happen one day …

At any rate, things are good, and I will put together a photo essay in the near future.  In the meantime, I’m going to go do the 100 mile roundtrip to the grocery store in Livingston.

Some crazy dude at the cafe is showing me his green card … that isn’t really a green card.  It’s a Latino caucus card that he had in his passport.  I think it’s time to move on ….
