On Sunday August 24th we took a rest day from riding and drove to Jackson WY, through the Grand Tetons (where we spotted a grizzly bear), through Yellowstone National Park and landed in Gardiner MT.\u00a0 <\/span>My Dad, Len, and his wife, Lisa, rented a huge house for us just outside the North entrance to Yellowstone and brought Lisa\u2019s father, John, to tour Yellowstone (his lifelong dream).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday August 26th we took another day off to catch up on some work and tour the beauty of Yellowstone.\u00a0 <\/span>We witnessed many Bison in the road, blocking\/ leading traffic and a herd of Elk crossing the road at Mammoth Hot Springs.<\/p>\n
