Let me just say at the very beginning that I am not complaining; merely surprised. We have this dream of being some place cool in the summer. When summer comes, we head north. When we get there, we find the worst heat wave since recorded history.
We were so excited about our first trip to Colorado. Gonna be cool all summer. Just about the time temperatures hit 100 in Nashville, we were called home for a family emergency. The next year we headed to Alaska. The temperatures were great, but the trip home to Tennessee in the August heat was wretched. The air conditioner on the pop-up was just not up to the task. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan was also cool, but once again we were driving back south during the heat of August. We actually got to stay in New Hampshire for August the following year to enjoy their record heat wave. We were in a really great campground, but there wasn’t a shade tree in sight. So why am I so surprised with temps in the 90s and this isn’t August yet.
So, I made a fake milk shake (one made with skim milk, ice cubes, and no fat chocolate pudding) and dug out the pictures with lots of snow. I feel cooler all ready.
The pictures were all made at Yellowstone National Park, February, 2005. We did a 5-day trip with Yellowstone Expeditions (www.yellowstoneexpeditions.com) with our good friends, Rich and Patti and Charlie and Jennifer.
