From Dillon to West Yellowstone and LOTS in between!

We went with Sam to work in Dillon and then took a drive over to West Yellowstone for a few days. Good times. :> Dillon has a great Patagonia outlet, but not much else, so that is all I have to say about that leg of our trip. :> The drive from Dillon to West was very pretty. We stopped in Silver City and took a train ride up to another ghost town which I can't remember the name of. It was quite neat, there is one street that is completely preserved with all the old shops and items that were in them, and a GREAT candy shop that Adee and I enjoyed. :> We got to our hotel around nine and let me just tell you DO NOT trust the ratings on Hotels.com, they lie - flat out. :> Our hotel was rated 3.5 stars and to sum it all up I'll let you know that I had to shower with my thongs on, it was TERRIBLE!!! Stagecoach Inn - no thanks!!!! We went through the park and saw all the animals and Old Faithful - our car about got plowed over by a buffalo who was not going to let us block his path - so Sam finally decided we better get out of the way - and made it through a few crying spells from Shep who was tired of the whole trip. :> It really was good times all in all. :> Shep also got his big boy haircut, which was sad for me and happy for everyone else (picture overload, by the way). He sat so still in the chair and I think he actually enjoyed it. He looks sharp, I must admit. Onto more summer adventures. :> Ashlee.
