so the main reason i have gone on this journey is because in may 1999 i tried to go through yellowstone on my way to seattle. i was on my way to do an internship with microsoft. two of my cousins – keisha and jonetta, pictured below, drove across the country with me. we were stopped because of snow on the road in MAY! the beartooth highway that leads from cody (after chief joseph’s highway ends) to cooke city and the entrance to yellowstone was still closed! DENIED!
before we got to the snow on the road, i took this photo:
well i liked it so much that i wanted to come back and see this area again and take more photographs in the area. i really liked this photo so i thought there ought to be some more great scenery to take pictures of. i didn’t know exactly where we were or what the name of the cliffs were. i searched in google earth using the 3d view and the fact that there was a lake in front. cathedral cliffs was one of the several places that i identified might be where we were.
i found it! cathedral cliffs was the name of the cliffs, and i was able to line up almost exactly where i stood to take the picture. that was pretty fun to do!
How cool to see the difference in the seasons, of the same location! Good memories of the first trip, & you’re adding to those with this trip!
