I went to bed early last night, but woke up a few times during the night, a couple to the sound of cows mooing maybe 20 feet from my tent. They were loud. In went the earplugs. Because of being up so much I slept in until about 9. I got up, cleaned up, then drove to the Bozeman REI. I bought some socks, shoe covers for walking on ice (though I don’t think I’ll need them on this trip), and studied up on sleeping pads. I didn't have time to buy it right then as I needed to pick up my brother at the airport. He wants to come back to buy a sleeping bag so I planned to get my sleeping pad while he got his stuff.
I picked him up at the Bozeman Airport, we got Italian for lunch, then we headed back to REI. We then went to the grocery store to get food for the trip.
After loading up on groceries we drove to Yellowstone National Park. The temp in the park dropped this week. I think I saw that it was 80 this past weekend, and will get to the mid-60’s next week. But the high was 50 today, and will be going down to the mid-20’s tonight. The rain we came in on turned to a light snow as we were driving in. We struggled to find a campsite as it was pretty full for the night, but the host told us of a spot and we rushed to claim it. It’s 8:30 PM right now as I wait for my brother to get back from calling his wife. The tent is set up, though, so we are all set for the night.
Tomorrow we'll explore Yellowstone National Park.

What I woke up to in the middle of the night last night.... Even with earplugs, I could still hear these guys nearby
