What a day! We started out with a fantastic horseback ride through the mountains near Yellowstone at Absaroka-Beartooth Outfitters, just down a winding gravel road from our campsite. Everyone had a great time, including Seth, who couldn't complete the ride after getting horse sick (fortunately, he doesn't get van sick!). We all felt bad for him, but he said he still enjoyed the part of the ride he was on.
After some quick shopping in Gardiner, we were guided into the park by Alyssa's parents, who smartly guided us to Mammoth Hot Springs. We enjoyed taking pictures and hiking around the hot springs so much we weren't able to get to any other areas of the park. Oh well! Something to look forward to next time.
We left Alyssa behind in Gardiner with her parents and other family and headed to Sheridan. We arrived here just before 11 p.m. local time, just in time to shower and crash before tomorrow's 11-hour marathon drive home. Each of our 3 drivers will take a 4-hour turn at the helm. Meanwhile, since we couldn't manage to get the screens in the van tro recognize a laptop so we can watch movies, I'll be handing my laptop and wireless card to each of the mission trippers to write an entry about the trip.
Now, time to sleep. Fast.
