We have started home!

We are on our journey home. I can't believe it is time to start back to Franklin. The students have seen so much and it has been so much fun. The mountain ranges, hot springs, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, hikes, bear, elk, buffalo, moose, and mule deer have been outstanding. I hear almost everyday someone say that they can't wait to bring their families out west. That is one of my hopes and goals.

We have had a long day. Yesterday the students were going to ride horses at Canyon Village in Yellowstone. The wind was gusting, so the riding company cancelled our reservations due to the danger of dead trees falling across the path. I called a stable outside of the park and we arrived at 9:00 am this morning to ride. It took about 30 minutes to get all of the students on their horses. Then, the students rode for an hour. It always amazes me how much the students enjoy this activity. They will be talking about it for many days to come.

If you want to find road construction, follow us. Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons are under major road construction. Thinking we had left it all behind us, we traveled through Wyoming today and found road construction across the state.

We arrived about 8:30 at Loveland RV Resort. Kristi and Cas went and bought us fast-food for supper. It hit the spot and we did not have to cook and wash dishes. I love the fact that the students love to cook. They volunteer for each others spot as the cook because they enjoy it so much.

Tomorrow we start driving toward Kansas.

See you Sunday, Patty Littlejohn
