YELLOWSTONE IS OPEN FOR THE SUMMER HOORAY!!!!!

HANDING OUT MUFFINS TO THOSE WAITING IN LINE

THE LINE UP ON OPENING DAY AT YELLOWSTONE

At 8:00 a.m. this morning Yellowstone National Park officially opened signaling the beginning of the Summer Season.  To top it off - today and tomorrow are "Free Days".  No fee to get into the Park.

A couple of us "locals" went to the gate at 7:30 a.m. and started down the line welcoming everyone to the opening and offering them fresh baked muffins to enjoy while they waited in line.

This is the second year we have done this.  Hopefully it will become a tradition.  Jan Stoddard, a local resident and amazing marketing person, came up with the idea and allowed me to help her with it.

It was beautiful here yesterday and this morning - it was raining.  That did not stop us.  We just got out the rain gear and the umbrella and down the line of cars we went.
