Started the day with Mass at St William in Gardiner, Montana, then drove through the Roosevelt Gate at the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park. We were greeted almost immediately with two herd of elk near the Mammoth Hot Springs Lodge. At one point the two males were bugling at each other and we realized that we were in between them – not a good place to be. We did escape without incident to enjoy a day of learning more about the history of the national park system, marveling at the geothermal features of the park, and admiring the wildlife – from a distance! At the end of the day we found lodging, good food, and new friends in West Yellowstone, Montana. Tomorrow we will go back into the park and see more of this wonderful place.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
very cool , thanks for sharing the trip.
