That seems like a cool place to go. Funny thing about old Yellowstone stuff. When I was a kid, in 1966, we took a family vacation to Yellowstone and other out-west places. My dad had been out there in 1946, and he kept telling us how it was when he went. I vividly remember us kids making fun of him for constantly going on like some old-timer about what something was like "twenty years ago." End every time this comes to mind, I realize that a few more years have passed. And now it was 52 years ago that we made fun of him for talking about things "twenty years ago."

I guess I'm the fossil now.

Along similar lines, I have thought many times since the 1970s how there was that nostalgia for the 1950s ("Happy Days", Sha Na Na, sock hops at schools, etc.), which seemed quite the old-fashioned thing at that point, but were 20 years before that. Noticing the change in feel of that (constant) yardstick is part of becoming a fossil, hunh. :)

Makes me think of Edward Hopper.

Light on the lonely.

That's a great card, but I mostly got a chuckle out of it because the caption is wrong! The spot in the photograph is actually in Wyoming, rather than Montana. :)

Ha! Maybe one of those situations like to Easterners all these mountains look alike.
