Snowmobiling Yellowstone

















While attending the Utah State Fair in September I won a snowmobile trip for one. It came with a two night stay at a crappy little hotel. Free food vouchers, at a restuarant that wans't even open yet, and a ticket to the worlds greatest little theatre ever. They had one screen and played one movie, with a running time of a week. Luckily while we were there the film of chioce was Beowulf- not recommended for anyone.

Okay, it really wasn't that bad. The resturant down the street accepted the vouchers. We also got a discount on Eden's trip so it was worth it.
We went the second day that the park was open and were the first group of snowmobilers in. It was pretty amazing to see all the snow that they already had. It was also neat to be able to see all the wildlife so close, it is different when the buffalo are walking down the road when you are on a snowmobile, as opposed to in a car.
While we were in West Yellowstone we also went to the Imax. We were expecting it to be a hit with all the people that attend in the summer, but we were the only ones in the theater when the movie started. Just imagine a six story movie screen all to yourselves. The only other highlight was going to the Wolf and Bear discover y center. The wolves were boring. They only wanted to sleep and lounge in the sun. The Grizzly Bears we another story. They are all big time posers. Whenever they saw the cameras come out they seemed to stop what they were doing and look at you with a big smile.

Oooh, looks like fun. I don’t think I would want to be that close to a buffalo. By the way, welcome to the blogoshpere – it’s a little addicting.

P.S.- I was noticing on your friend links that you know Marilyn Green--I don't really know her personally but I student taught last year at Wilson Elementary where she teaches, so I know who she is. AND you and they know Natalie Maughn--who is the secretary at Chrysalis where I worked for the past two summers. AND by looking at her blog found out that they are friends with Jimmy and Jen McFarlane. What a small world!
