We go to Estes Park

We have been having a great time visiting with cousin Paddy and Max here in Fort Collins. On Tuesday, we went up to spend the night at their cabin at Estes Park.
We spent some time touring Rocky Mountain National Park. - Lots of elk!

We Travel to Fort Collins

We travel down to Seattle then east via I-90 -  overnight in Spokane.



Everyone beeds a rest stop



We head down through Idaho to Yellowstone Park. We stay 2 nights here so we can spend a day at the park.  Lots of Elk and Bison to be seen as we drive around the park stopping for geysers, mudpots and other viewpoints.


Bison head down to the river


Amazing to watch them cross




Safely on the other side


Sunday - it's a long drive to Fort Collins (500+ miles) so we have an early start.
7:00 pm - We arrive at Paddy's

Diesel is running $3.00 US per gallon and our fuel consumption is about 26 mpg (29 mpg at Yellowstone) so we're pleased about that.
