Mercy sakes alive, looks like we’ve got us a convoy

Going out to do setup work in the park. Can’t go through the park without 4WD so we have a convoy of three vans and two cars going up and down. Going into Yellowstone from West Yellowstone. Will be staying in the park until Thursday with a goal of getting Old Faithful Inn, Old Faithful Lodge, Snow Lodge, Lake Hotel and Lake Lodge setup.

 

Fist time I have seen snow being cut up with a lumberjack saw.

Odd seeing Snow Lodge with no people.

Snow Lodge Day Three

We went out for a walk before heading back to Mammoth.

Nature will always find a way. Check out the green with the snow.

Do you see Santa in his hat?

My new place is the one on the right with the antenna.

Time to head out.

Snow Lodge Day Two

This vintage ride was out front the Snow Lodge, very cool.

While I was working Janet went out for some cross country skiing.

I did get to see the Old Faithful Inn when no one was in it. They are going to show The Shining in it for the workers on the last day of the winter season.

Off to Winter Wonderland – Snow Lodge

Well it didn’t start off wonderful. The Bimmer wouldn’t start so had to get everything in the scooter car. With the snow, ice and cold the scooter was almost to its limit. All this slowed us down so we were cutting it close to make the snow coach. Not quite half way there the gas light came on. Since the scooter is new to me I wasn’t sure how long it would go with the light on, but we didn’t have time to stop and get gas. I was sweating bullets when I dropped Janet off to confirm our ride. On top of all of this work was pinging me about a trip in May that had to be sorted out just then. I was a wreck by the time I took my seat on the coach.

It really was like a completely different world. I will share the pictures as any words I would add would not do them justice.
