Seriously? Snow??

Is it just me, or does it seem like Mother Nature is playing tricks on us?  If I didn't know better I would almost think that she's going through menopause....sometimes her seasons show up late, sometimes they rarely show up at all and lately it seems like sometimes she just skips them altogether!!  Or maybe she's having a good time hanging out with Old Man Winter - who knows?

Ethel spent her lunchtime today charting our Roadtrip course and guess what she discovered?  Snow...in Yellowstone.....during Memorial Day Weekend.....seriously!!!  Unstable snow conditions and repeated avalanches across the road through Sylvan Pass have resulted in closure of the road throughout the last week.  The East Entrance is set to open this week with a very tiny, limited window really really early in the morning for visitor travel and is expected to remain in place until enough snow melts along & above Sylvan Pass to eliminate the avalanche hazard.  Phew, here I was worried about the goofball drivers who dart around the back of the AS the minute my blinker goes on - HA!! 



No worries...we'll figure something out....if nothing else we're safe, and creative!!
Four more wake-ups!!!
