Spent a few days back in Fergus Falls at the annual convention. Seeing friends, eating at Space Aliens in Fargo,having my hubby lead the service where HB London spoke, and swimming by lantern light in the hotel pool when the power went out in a lightning storm were the highlights!

What a blast! Yellowstone proves to be one of the best parks in the country. It's got a lot to offer and a lot of trails to hike on. Keep us inspired with more of your adventures.
