Yellowstone was nuts last summer. And that was before school was out. No intentions of doing that anytime soon again, at least not in summer.

My 2 daughters went to Fox Run by Ardrossan today. Said it was a 3 club wind for them…can’t be enjoyable.

That's not fun

Nope.

We were too busy navigating road lakes.
