A dairy of sorts about my Wyoming life and my far flung friends

ys1 - Favorite!
ys 4 - Drive in to Yellowstone through the Teton park.
ys 3
This did not happen to us but I liked the shot. Can you see the guy standing up in that safari hatch on the top of the coach? Not sure because of the super high crap factor.
This is what a snowcoach looks like. I somehow did not manage to take an actual photo of one and had to look online. Sorry for the crap factor.
ys6 - Snowcoach ride into the park. You can see that it's that flat blue/gray light that's so hard to downhill ski in because you can never really spot the terrain. Same deal with the coach - we would end up flying over the moguls created by the snowmobiles. Was more like a boat ride.
ys 5 - Ms. Meg and the fun dad from the mentionitis family.
ys 1 - Ms. Meg on the super delicious path to the river. The snowcoach drivers stopped every day and hand shoveled the path clear. Not a small job when you consider that this was basically the beginning of the snow season and the path is already almost waist deep.
ys 2 - A stop on the Snowcoach ride in. To the left is a steaming waterfall where the thermals heat the stream but this is just pure frosty pretty.
ys 3 - Meg's requested glamour shot. It looked like a Dr.Suess tree at the time.
ys 6 - This was a stop on the Snowcoach ride in. The snow banks are seriously about 5 feet high on the edges of the river. No big animals here as they'd have to wade through some serious snow so there's no tracks - only perfectly as it fell snow.

ys 4 - The steaming waterfall. Is somewhat hard to see here but I only had one place to shoot from as every other spot was under 4 feet of snow.
ys 7 - Super frosty cold snow and then a plume of dang hot air. Wyoming is weird.
