I awoke to the sound of what I thought was rain drops but it was tiny hail for our morning weather. It stopped before long and the sun came out here. We drove to Tower-Roosevelt today and I have to say it was my least favorite drive. It rained off and on, even some more hail, and a bit of snow. It has been cold all day, it’s the first time we used the heater in the van and kept the windows up on our daily outing. The road going that way is cliff-side and many signs stating the obvious “slippery when wet” etc. We completed that road and stopped at the Roosevelt Lodge for a very nice lunch. We have enough left for another meal and we will eat our picnic lunch tonight back at the trailer. The lodge is very small and there are many tiny cabins for rent around the lodge. All lodging in the entire park is fully booked. It was warm and nice in the small lodge. We went on to Mammoth again for the last stretch of road we wanted to see. Since the weather hasn’t improved we opted to come home via Norris and then Canyon. This time we saw the Grizzly mama and her two cubs near Mammoth. Well, we did see the cubs but only when they jumped up a little bit as she sage brush covered them most of the time. We saw either a gray wolf, or more likely a coyote along the way as well. The only developed road we have not done in the park is the North East Entrance to Tower-Roosevelt. So, that said we had an amazing time here and feel we thoroughly saw everything we wanted to see. John is sorry to leave because we have had such a good time but I am ready to see something new! I wouldn’t mind having internet and better phone service as well!
