Cousins' Reunion 2011 - 9/3/11

The cousins met at the train depot to take a unique tour of Livingston, MT on an original Yellowstone Park Company bus. Our tour guides provided detailed history of Livingston and the park as well as a house-by-house tour of the town. Following that event we met at Haug Ranch to prepare for the afternoon picnic. From there we loaded up in SUVs and climbed to the top of Wineglass Mountain where we enjoyed a BBQ picnic. We also hiked around the top of the mountain. After dark, we took the long ride back down, stopping to view the lights of nearby Livingston.

This is an original Yellowstone Park Company tour bus like many train passengers would take to get from the depot in Livingston, MT to lodges in Yellowstone Park to the south.
Here are some of the Cousins gathered to take a leisurely and informative tour of Livingston, MT in the Yellowstone bus in the background. It was a great way to share and learn about the area.
The bus has been restored and will be loaded with cousins for a tour.
At least one cousin was really excited to go.
