Roadtrip History

I don't know when Katie and I started chronicling our road trip with times and brief events but maybe it started with the absurdity of taking pictures at the Rexburg temple at 1:00 a.m. now how do you explain that. But then again, much of our road trip was more than a little unexplainable . . .
Monday
12:30 a.m. taking pictures outside the Idaho Falls temple
1:15 Rexburg temple
2:00 strange gas station . . . strange people
3:00 enter Yellowstone park beginning the adventure after an unknown wrong turn!
3:30 come to a roadblock that won't open until 8 am - decide to sleep in the car
4:00 Katie can't sleep decides to drive the other way through the park!
for the next five hours Katie proceeds to drive, Andrea wakes up "every half-hour" when Katie slows down to take a picture of the sunrise, the moose, the elk, the people . . .
9:00 left the park
1:00 after not finding the excitement we were hoping for at a random museum in Montana we found the Spotted Eagle Lake
Car danced like crazy
2:00 Kissed a life-sized dinosaur

Dickison Dinosaur Museum . . . we didn't go in, but the gift shop was pretty great
5:00 Decided to eat real food at JDs BBQ
6:00 thought the car had a major malfunction - sounded like a train
"Can we camp here tonight?"
"Sure" says the girl at the both, "but I'm going home," those were just tornado sirens.
6:30 out running tornado
Radio - "Winds are moving at the speed of 40 miles an hour"
Katie - "Well we're going about 80 so we should be just fine."
7:00 Stop in the booming metropolis of Hebron, ND population ?? Stayed at the one and only motel (6 rooms) got the last one. Gracie, the owner gave us a Hebron Brick - her family owns the factory in town
