Fun in Yellowstone

The Rex and Linda Shumway reunion was a great time. Except for freezing, which happens every time I go there. I forget that it's practically a sub-arctic zone -- it's August and should be hot everywhere, right? It was 30s at night, 50s in the day. You know when you're standing in a cloud of sulfer-smelling steam and you don't want to leave it because it's a bit warmer than elsewhere, that you're not dressed warmly enough.
But otherwise we really enjoyed it. The company was great, and the scenery was awesome. Truly a window into the earth, like they said at the visitors' center.
