400E Blogging driving mercedes-benz snow travel vacation wyomingWe interrupt our normal political banter for a short note regarding what you’re likely to find at Capitol Commentary over the following two weeks…
As we said on January 1st, Capitol Commentary might very well morph into a sort of travel blog for a bit. I’ll be covering about 3,500 miles over two weeks as I again visit the lovely state of Wyoming. Yellowstone National Park kind of grabbed me when I was last there in 2010 (you may read the article about that trip here) and ever since I’ve wanted to experience it in the Winter.
I grew up on the East Coast and I sometimes miss the quietness of falling snow or waking up in the morning to see everything coated with a fresh layer of the white stuff.
I am truly excited to get back to Wyoming (and Yellowstone) even though some of the Winter driving conditions will be hairy over mountain passes in Idaho, Montana, and Jackson, WY.
Although I have visited over a dozen countries and half of America there is no place I’ve ever been which I liked more than Wyoming.
What I Learned on My Vacation to the Real America explains it all.
Sadly, the Volkswagen Bus will be staying in San Francisco safe and snug in its garage (too valuable) but alternate transportation has been procured and (I hope) I’ll be able to master its on-the-road nuances in the ice and snow.
I will be publishing stories from the road (as WiFi is available) about the trip as well as any political events which permeate the cold, snow, and any potential frostbite I might have.
Having recently seen the movie The Grey I do hope wolves are not involved (or plane crashes) and that everything goes smoothly.
There will be a couple of “canned” articles (ObamaNation, for example) but most of the content will be fresh.
Since I’ll be writing from an Android tablet/netbook I’ll do my best regarding the formatting and uploading of pictures.
I hope the next two weeks will be a lot of fun and that you will enjoy following along.
See you again from the road!

Harrison, safe travels.
You simply must do some snow mobiling while you are up in Yellowstone. 2 or 3 solid outfits in the town of West Yellowstone.
Check out Wolf Pack Brewery. The Hi Country Tavern and Grill about 12 miles north of town right off the highway is a fun place.

I will be West of Yellowstone but not near those places. Too bad they look pretty cool. I’ll be going into the park from the North. I will try and use a snow mobile while I’m there.
