    Adventures in Yellowstone

    Wonderful to see your adventures in Yellowstone. I made it out to Boulder Cave in the eastern Cascades last Tuesday. Only my Frontier V6 or your X4, could climb a section of steep trail with loose dusty surface. We brought our oldest grandson. I missed my 4pm nap this day and it took me four...

    trouble with bowels, what else is new!

    Too bad that there's no female equivalent of a condom catheter. I fill a 1 quart bag twice a day or more. No constipation with lots of water, fruit smoothies, magnesium and a half cap of Miralax. :)
