On Sunday (late afternoon) it began to rain and continued to rain most of the evening and night. We all ventured to Chico for nice dinner at there restaurant and then Eric and I and Ema decided to go back up to my parents camp site for a little while.....About 9:30 we decided to head back down to our cabin (about a 5 mile drive) and literally 100 feet in front of our car we heard this tree crack and then watched it fall and we were going NO WHERE! We quickly turned around and went back to tell the camp host - who told us - they would get it cut down...but it would be about 3 or 4 hours!! YIKES!! Thankfully our friends where already back at there cabin so Todd drove back up and got us...my Dad drove us to the tree and we climbed around it...and actually did not end up having spend 3 - 4 more hours waiting for them to clear the road! It wouldn't have been that bad to have to hang out at the camper other than finding a spot for 6 adults and 3 kids to sleep would have been a little tricky!!
I had actually told Eric on the way into the camp the first day....that this particular tree looked like it could come down at any moment....so thankful it did not come down on us!
Our last and final adventure of the weekend was a detour on the way home through a small portion of Yellowstone park and I don't have one picture to show for it......We entered at Mammoth Hot Springs, continued over to Tower and then over to Cooke City where we exited the park and took in the Beartooth Highway that just opened for the season this weekend.....The amount of snow up there still was incredible....it was a great detour....but last night after 13 hours in the car I was really starting to second guess if it was a "great" detour or not.
