UPDATE/WE are BACK!! PIC HEAVY!!!-Family Yellowstone trip this summer…any tips!?!?

[Jmacd]

Take some time to visit Cody WY. They have a lot of neat things to do there. There is a gun range there where you can shoot all the old cowboy guns as well as some modern ones. I was just there in the beginning of May and some of the roads were still closed due to the snow. This picture is of a sandhill crane inside Yellowstone. Have made up my mind that end of life will be out there and not in this state.

Bring good quality binoculars.

Sounds like fun, have a great time and take lots of pictures!!

Make sure you have an insurance because if you don't have it you need to get it because it's as good as money.

Make Sure your insurance policy is paid up.

Are you bringing your mother-in-law?.

That sucks, I saw pictures of the roads completely blocked

[Cripple Shot]

That's terrible. Just glad to know your trip didn't start.

It's real bad.  The two gateway Towns in the north, Red Lodge and Gardiner and further north, Cook City are affected really bad and nearly isolated. Utilities are really F'ed up.  Roads in the northern loop are completely washed away in large sections.  If your staying in Cody, you might be ok, but expect crowds from displaced residents and vacationers.  If you want more info, I can pm you my cell.  My wife is in Red Lodge and I have friends down towards Cody who can provide real info.  But it is pretty bad and I hear the south side of the Park might get the runoff issues, as well.

That’s what I told my wife….at least it didn’t happen while we were there!!

Just spoke with a friend who lives just north of Gardiner and he said it's bad. He had just finished building 3 cabins for rentals and he said that's not going to happen this summer . 

[Merkel]

Not good. Several roads closed/washed out.   We booked Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Glacier NP for August/September. Will have to wait to see what things are like in July and if necessary, cancel.

Yeah there’s a lot of people will be affected in the area. Think of all the fishing hunting guides. Horseback tours etc. rental cabins. Tough times if u depend on that tourism for income.

The Beard is supposed to go out there with friends in 2 weeks.  Not sure if that’s gonna happen now.
