Mother Nature: 3: Human Adventurers: 0

We were on our way to Yellowstone, as I just wrote below. And I thought I would check the weather to see what its looking like out there. Wouldn't you know it, there is a winter storm alert. Late spring snowfall looking like 15 inches. Are you kidding me!? Tetons, which we were going to hit up as well, already has 3 inches.

We came equipped for mostly summer weather with some long sleeve T-shirts and light jackets. Not at all equipped for snow. Plans have changed. We aren't going to go to either Yellowstone or Tetons. We are going to go to Rushmore as planned and then turn south.

Headed to Denver now. Will stay there for a bit; day or two. Then we're going to go to Utah and hit up Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. I checked the weather and they aren't supposed to get any snow there. After that we may drive to Vegas for a day or two and then we will drive up to Salt Lake City so I can catch my flight.

At this point, we are doing whatever. The only plan we have is to be in Salt Lake City on June 5th to catch my flight to Indy. No idea what will happen between now and then.
