I'd checked the road conditions before we left, and our route to Yellowstone appeared to be a bit wet, but otherwise open. That changed, because when we approached the last exit to Laramie, we encountered a line of trucks parked along I-80, because the highway to the west was closed. That was not good.
We fueled up and then I took a look at the road conditions map. Not only was I-80 closed, but so was US-30. There was, however, no indication that Wyoming-34 was closed. It branches off of US-30 about ten miles north of Laramie, and that's where the closure started. Decided to risk the ten mile drive, as the alternative was to head east to Cheyenne and then head north on I-25. If Wyo-34 was open, it would make the alternate route less painful.
It was open, but pretty slushy for much of the fifty miles. Then it was north on I-25, which was wet, but not slippery or slushy most of the way, so I was able to drive at the 80mph speed limit.
That got us to Casper, where the exit we'd intended to use to fuel up was blocked due to a collision. Fortunately, the closure was gone by the time we went back on the way to an alternate route. At that point, the conditions improved dramatically, and except for slush at the summit of Togwotee Pass, the road was clear.
So we checked in about two hours later than expected, and as we walked from the front desk of the Lodge to my truck parked by the cabins, we heard the "water in Beehive's Indicator" call. We had to go out to Geyser Hill without extra layers, and Geyser Hill was colder and windier than usual. But despite that, it was a nice welcome back.
Later we went out to Grand hoping for an eruption, but after two hours of non-descript Turban eruptions, we gave up. By then it was almost 22:00, and dark, and cold. The temperature was around 28, and windy.
