On Chuck’s birthday, we decided to take a hike up elephant back once again. It was extremely fun with the group of us (Molly, Jacob, Chuck and I). No bears this time, instead we got to the top a
nd found ourselves among the clouds. It was so humid and cold, but beautiful to watch the clouds float between the trees around us. We got back to the dorms at about 8:30 and headed to the pub for pizza and drinks. Everyone bought Chuck a round to celebrate. Afterwards, we came back to our (Molly and I) room and played cranium until the wee hours of the morning. At one point we also dragged Chuck down the hall in a sleeping bag which was probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen! It was a great way to spend my last day off. The next day Molly and I walked around chasing an elusive grizzly bear for most of the morning. We never actually saw it but the ranger had been tracking it with a radio collar and told us that it was just out of sight down the shore but had to keep everyone away. We walked back to the dorms just enjoying the day and met a peculiar man who was just in the park to take pictures; he was very nice and exceedingly interested in our lives as we live in Yellowstone. Being
the talker than I am, I spent almost an hour talking with this man before I had to rush back to get ready for work.
Work this week is kind of crazy…the foreigners have arrived so we have plenty of server assistants; they are all very nice and eager to know us and work. My schedule for the week consists of 3 double shifts in a row, two of which are splits; after that I have an early breakfast and then it’s vacation time again for a few days! I don’t mind working so much, I just come home and sleep, think of the money and count down to my days off.
I still absolutely love it here, and the weather is finally getting warm again!

Camping season is almost upon me….
80's Dance
Molly's 21st Birthday was also a success! We went into Cody and bought a cake, a crown, ate some real food, and began planning our 80's outfits. The pub's theme for the night was an 80's dance and it seemed like everyone was going to go all out for it.
We headed to the pub at about 10 o'clock, all decked out. Ordered a pizza, assuming we wouldn't get it until also midnight anyways; and waited for her hour to arrive. Well, we got impatient and had her start drinking at 11, she was well on her way to drunk before midnight. The DJ announced her birthday at midnight as she blew out the candles! We danced the night away and watched Molly drink round after round until the pub closed down. The adventure home was one of the best, Molly was making speeches and announcing to everyone that it was her birthday as Chuck and I carried her home. When we got back Molly almost instantly fell asleep. I went outside to watch the rest of the drunken 80's night goers return from the pub. Yellowstone definitely knows how to have fun.
More Updates...
I still love the park! My working hours are extreme, I work double shifts 5 days a week; but our managers say it's going to get better as more people arrive. I can only hope that's true, I had some awful blisters on my feet after last week. The weather has been nice, no snow and right around 50 degrees. I think I will go whitewater rafting next Thursday with Molly, and hopefully camping on my days off as well.
I hope everyone back home is doing well, I apologize that it is so hard to get in contact with me.
