We left out of Caldwell, Idaho this morning and headed towards Yellowstone. We were able to link up with Doc Reed who was our Corpsman on Skipjack and is responsible for me becoming a Corpsman. We had a great visit, recalled our times at sea together and caught up on the 45 years that have elapsed since we last saw each other. Where does the time go? Doc looks great, stays active and is enjoying his retirement. We waved good-bye to him in Pocatello, ID and I hope to see him at an upcoming Skipjack Reunion.
Then it was back on the road for the second 200 miles of the day to find a place to camp as close to Yellowstone as we could find. We've had success and are in a nice campground about 25-30 miles from the park. On the ride in we saw the Grand Tetons, an antelope, one buffalo and Blue saw some sheilas. Tomorrow promises to be a day like we had in Glacier and I'm really looking forward to seeing my second National Park. I've waited almost 60 years to do this and it's like a dream come true.
Photos tomorrow after we tour the park.
