 We arrived home yesterday. After leaving Thermopolis, WY, we stopped in Conway, AR and Grenada, MS to visit relatives. It was a great, once in a lifetime trip, but it is nice to be home. We have multiple chores to do around the house; therefore this is short. Hope that you have enjoyed the photos. That is all for now.

We are in Thermopolis, WY where WIFI and cell phone service are excellent and we can update the blog. These services were almost nonexistent at Yellowstone.

Yellowstone National Park is a beautiful phenomena of the results of  God created forces of nature. Yellowstone sits on the top of a volcano that is about 40 miles in diameter. The extreme heat from the volcano, which is some 5 miles down, creates the thermal activity that is prevalent throughout the park. One disappointment was that we did not see any bears or moose. There were thousands of bison.

More Tetons and Jackson Hole, WY.  We spent some time at the Farmer's Market around the square in Jackson Hole.  They have all kinds of prepared food, veggies, flowers and meat.  The pan of biscuits caught Nell's eye.  The pan was a cast iron skillet that the biscuits were cooked in.  This area is organic crazy.  They advertise vegetables, even milk, as being organic.  Everything is very pricey, even a ride in the stage coach!  Enjoyed watching the Tide roll on Saturday night.  Went to church this am.  The music was great, to include a piano duet.  The pastor was from GA and preached an excellent challenging sermon.
