Total silence is a rare and wonderful thing, as are ancient rocks, hot dogs wrapped in bacon, and lots of aimless and ridiculously scenic driving. When you get tired of that, swimming, clean sheets, and buffalo ribeye for dinner are pretty okay too.
We realized about midweek that we should have planned to stay at least a few days longer, but we felt better about it after seeing our friends today. I mean, there are hardly any stars and there's no one shoving perfectly cooked bison down our throats or anything, but it's really not so bad at home.
Pictures, with more to come later.
