I'm sure the colors will be all but gone by the time we get there. But it's a beautiful place, no matter the season. Hope we can make connections with you and George again soon.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-54293170945130814322012-10-23T21:34:49.302-04:002012-10-23T21:34:49.302-04:00Great post, Linda....

I knew from their blogs that we enjoyed the same sorts of activities. We felt like old friends, even though we were meeting for the first time.<br /><br />The devastation from the Yellowstone fires was truly awful. It's so good to see the green on the hillsides again.

We've been there several times since then, but this is the first time that we felt that the recovery was truly overcoming the discouraging sight of dead trees, some still standing and some fallen, in many areas of the park. It's been a slow process.<br /><br />Meeting George and Betsy was a highlight of our trip.
