Yellowstone 1976

Oh, my, these are the only two pictures I can find of our first trip to Yellowstone.  I do remember that we left home in late June 1976 headed northwest to Yellowstone.  Night two of our trip was spent sleeping in our Ford Pinto because it was snowing and we weren't sure where we would find the next campground or gas station.  LOL!

My hippie/bell bottom jeans and Winola T-shirt days may be over, but my love of rocks and all things nature-related has remained unchanged through the years.  I have been a collector of rocks and plants for all of my years.  

I have waited 50 years to get back to Yellowstone, and this summer is the time.   I am so excited for the adventure.  Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Spring and Lake Yellowstone, here I come.  I'll be travelling with my sister and her husband, as well as with my nephew and his friend.  I am so ready to get going.  I'll post pics along the way.  I know it will be a trip that will not disappoint!
