Into the Park

I woke this morning inside a room in Gardiner, Montana.  The Yellowstone River rushes along (dark from spring runoff at this point) just below a balcony outside my back door.

I am here on purpose, mind you.  I am teaching a class at Mammoth Hot Springs for electricians employed by Yellowstone National Park.  This is a yearly gig.  One of my favorites. 

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the class was pushed back more than a month later than normal.   I am not sorry about that.  The drive down through the Paradise Valley and into Yellowstone National Park provided with me will all kinds of beautiful images.
