The bittersweet sign at the exit tugs at the heart.
“SO LONG PARDNER-COME BACK SOON”.
I close my eyes with hopes of hearing hoof beats in the distance. We reluctantly climb in the Jeep with dusty faces and wind-blown hair that smells of a campfire. A drive through the exit lets us peek at a trail of dust left by the horses, carrying a collection of stores from everyone who visits Pleasant Valley, Yellowstone. There is history to learn along the way, and for us a chance to be cowboys (and girls) for a day. We will be back, to help you tend to the horses, to enjoy conversation about this unique lifestyle,
to appreciate your love of solitude,
and to drink the best coffee that has ever landed on our lips; cowboy coffee .
I know the sun has to set here too, but there is no question, pardner,
We will be back.
That looks amazing Donna, no wonder you were sad to leave!

Thank you. We lived in Yellowstone for two years and I still miss those views and the people. Thank you for visiting this post and bringing be back there again for a moment. If you haven’t been, put it on your bucket list. Thanks again.
