USY on Wheels,
Bus H


Sunday, July 24th:

Monday, July 25th:
On Monday, they left Boise and stopped at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial and then headed to Yellowstone where they had a barbeque at Bear world, a cool place to see bears and other wild animals up close. Later, then went into Yellowstone National Park to sleep.

Tuesday, July 26th:
Mission Mitzvah had a relaxing day at Yellowstone National Park. They drove around the loop of the park to see the wild animals and beautiful sights including Old Faithful, a large geyser in the center of the park. After an optional hike, the group prepared a barbeque dinner together and had a fun evening activity outdoors.
