Wyoming Vacation in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

September 22, 2017 by pfeifer

Last year (2016) we took a family vacation to Wyoming to visit Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. I meant to post information about the trip online a long time ago, but I’ve been very busy with other matters that kept me away from this website. While I plan to continue writing on my usual topics of interest, I am adding travel reviews, journals, and vacation guides to the material on this website.

Anyway, I’ve written a number of articles about our Yellowstone/Grand Teton vacation in Wyoming, and I’ve linked them all in the following list. The articles are longer and more rambling than I would prefer, but I was trying to cover a lot of material in a short time. I’ll be more concise and structure them differently in the future.

I hope you find the information helpful in your vacation planning.

South Carolina proposal to ban federal currency – where do they get these politicians?

Image via Wikipedia South Carolina Republican State Representative Mike Pitts has introduced a proposal into the South Carolina legislature to ban the use of federal currency in that state. Rep. Pitts believes that the entire U.S. currency system is about to implode, and the only way to protect South Carolinians is to impose a requirement […]

Rappin’ for Jesus – Church Video Fails – ‘Jesus Christ is my Nigga’

Given the rapid decline of young people interested in church or formal religious services, I understand why some ministers would look for creative ways to keep church youth interested in the program. Here’s a tip: rapping for Jesus is not the way for a white middle-aged pastor to reach young people. At least not in […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 7 – Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, Mammoth Springs Dining Room, Albright Visitor’s Center, and Stops on the Way to Signal Mountain Lodge

Although the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel was quiet during the night, the hallways were rather noisy in the morning. This was not due to unruly guests, but due to the hotel’s design. The hallways are long and solidly built, but with high ceilings and widely spaced walls. The tunnel effect seemed to amplify sounds, making […]

Outwrite Bookstore and Coffeehouse – An Accidental Day at a Gay Bookstore

Those who know me know that I often go to coffee shops when I need to get some work done, particularly when I want to do some writing. I’ve found that the coffee shop environment, for whatever reason (I’m guessing caffeine), is very conducive to me being able to concentrate on my work. While I […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 6 – Grant Village General Store, Mammoth Springs, Mud Volcano, Dragon’s Mouth Spring, and Other Fun Stops

Breakfast is not available at our hotel in Grant Village, but there are several breakfast buffets nearby. However, we decided to get breakfast at a small fast-food style restaurant located inside the Grant Village General Store. This turned out to be one of our best breakfast decisions of the trip. Eggs cooked how you want […]

PETA delivers good news to Tiger Woods, bad news to Mark Sanford – but lets not forget Sasha Grey

For those who feel that Tiger Woods and Mark Sanford have received too much media coverage lately, you’ll be pleased to know both can now be covered in the same news articles thanks to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA is well known for it’s provocative ad campaigns, especially the ones featuring […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 8 – Signal Mountain Lodge, Colter Bay Village, Ranchhouse Restaurant, Jackson Lake, Donoho Point, Elk Island

After a night of deep sleep at Signal Mountain Lodge, I awoke early and enjoyed the quiet of the morning. While it is fairly easy to hear through the walls, everyone was either sleeping or trying to be polite. I went to get coffee from the barista at their general store, which was about the […]

McCain and Lieberman introduce legislation to free the terrorists and make evidence against them inadmissible in court

Image via Wikipedia John McCain and Joe Lieberman have introduced legislation which could force courts to release terrorists who attack the United States by making evidence against those terrorists inadmissible in court. This outcome is not their goal, but in a fervor of pathetic political pandering they have introduced a bill that specifically prohibits arresting […]

Defending Christina Aguilera Singing the National Anthem at the Superbowl

To hear people talking about Christina Aguilera screwing up a line in the national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner) while singing at the Superbowl, one would think she walked out on stage long enough to urinate on the American flag, wiped her ass with a page from the Bible, and gave everyone the finger while goose-stepping off the stage to the tune of Horst-Wessel Lied. That’s not how I remember her performance. In fact, I’ll even confess to enjoying hearing her sing it.
