We left Wren and Gen down in Colorado Springs, CO and made our way up to Yellowstone safely. Spent the night in Thermopolis at a really nice little motel that reminded me of most of the places we stayed at in NZ. Mom and Pop places really are the best.

Debated about having a sleep in there, but changed our minds and went to Yellowstone yesterday.

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig park.

We saw Old Faithful, wandered around, cursed the skies for sprinkling and marveled over the lodge's carpet cleaning device, a tiny squirrel that sneaks in and steals the crumbs.

Saw Bison and Elk, and suddenly realising that yeah. You CAN ride elk. They're that big.
... is one thing to hear about it, another thing to actually SEE them.

Have also discovered that apparently I have been converted to Discordianism as "Hail Eris!!!" has replaced 'Oh, Shyte' in my vocabluary. Often to Mati and Allie's amusement.

We ended up getting an upgrade in the motel we've been staying at in West Yellowestone evidently due to the fact that we're a bunch of giggling twits.
Or the fact that we came in last night having a hard time finding a decently priced place to stay, gleefully announced that we loved the cabin the owner showed us, but the 'Shadow Pines' place across the street scared the crap out of us and we wanted to check it out because of that.
... we did. And gawked at the giant elk head that stared at us as we walked in the front, with it's mouth open. Or the thick-accented person at the front desk. Or the collection of various skulls decorating the building across the street. It looks like something out of a cheesy murder mystery.
-the motel owner here refers to us as 'The Happy Travelers'. ^^;;

The plunnies have been fruitful and multiplying, Allie's main fandom is Kingdom Hearts, Mati's is Yu-Gi-Oh and mine is Magic Kaito. So far we've gotten quite well along discussing KH/HP, KH/SG1, KH/YGO, MK/YGO and various other plots.

... and Mati is currently drawing Yuugi and Yuugi on Jounouchi to get me to write Yuugi/Jounouchi/Yuugi pron later as Allie attempts to explain how Yuugi-oh would be kicked out of offical tournaments for cheating. Is fun.

Up next is sleep, laundry and Craters of the Moon. Hail Hypnos!

Your roadtrip continues sounding like one of the awesomest things ever. Very jealous here:)

"KH/SG1"

That simple acronym conjured up mental images that I fear have permanently broken my brain...

Yellowstone is gorgeous. When we were there a herd of Elk had come really close to the road and ppl were getting out of their cars trying to pet them. Not only are they huge they have antlers and hooves. These are no helpless animals.

MK/YGO needs to be done...not that it hasn't already, but we need more, there are just too many possibilities.
