Jessica Graduates Via Zoom Presentation

Jessica graduates from Stanford Medical School. The graduation "ceremony" had to be virtual via Zoom technology due to precautions related to the possible spread of the COVID-19 virus. Diane and I had planned to attend the graduation in California, and had even left on our journey in March. We had to turn around in Michigan because everything was shutting down due to the virus. I used my phone to record the TV screen. Mom and dad were able to view the ceremony with us as from home base in Loganville.

Leaving Yellowstone National Park

Leaving YNP was an adventure. There was snow and some ice on the ground, but there was no indication that any of the roads through the park were closed or particularly hazardous. I checked the YNP and the Wyoming DOT websites, and no road closings noted. In hindsight, I should have called the park hotline as well. Turns out that the south exit was indeed closed. After a 50 miles or so trip from north to south, we had to turn the rig around (quite the challenge) and back track some miles to find the west exit into Utah. Just thankful we made it safely out of the snow and ice. The truck really came through for us. Here is a VIDEO LINK of our drive through Yellowstone up to the point where we had to turn around.
