Back in the Lower 48

We camped 1 night at Glacier National Park, MT. Saw a black bear a couple of times. Drove as far as allowed on the Going To The Sun Road. To Avalanche from West Glacier. We were surprised to find the town of West Glacier virtually closed down. The only restaurant & service station place open was scheduled to close in a few days.
More snow. Spent a night at West Yellowstone at the Brandin' Iron Motel & RV in the snow. The roads at Yellowstone Park were only open from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful Lodge. All the rest of the roads were closed due to fires, construction, or snow.
Farther south we go. To the Grand Canyon! We spent several nights at Yavapai Lodge (with Mollie, poor girl, sleeping alone in the camper). Enjoyed it a lot. Vegeterian chili and Wi-Fi at the Canyon Cafe at Yavapai and also at Maswick Lodge. Special treat of breakfast at El Tovar, an afternoon of blogging and then sunset at the canyon. Annabel and Mollie went on a long hike along the canyon rim. We saw lots of animals at the Grand Canyon, including our favorite elk Clyde along with 4 of his lady elk, a bunch of deer, and a coyote.

Not home yet...
