Yellowstone, here we are!

I know it has been a few days since my last post; but alas, Yellowstone does not offer Wi-Fi. So for all you techies out there, you need to go far to get "back on the grid."  We are staying at a nice campground, called Grant Village, by the South Entrance. We came in on Thursday and set up camp, then looked around for a bit.

Our grocery runs are about 1/week because it is so far. As for postings, I will try when I can.

On our first morning, yesterday, we saw elk (girls) and a big bull elk (see pic). We also saw a grizzly on the high hill eating his berries or insects. Unfortunately, it was so foggy, you only see a blur. We are waiting until we get a better shot. The park got some rain Thursday night, but there is a lot of pollen still here (lodgepole pine). The other pics of the bison are what we call a "bison jam." He was walking nonchalantly in the road. He came within 2 inches of the driver side door (you could reach out and touch him). Anyway, the pics are from the dashboard of the truck. Cool!

Enjoy the pics; I gotta say, this place is really crowded. We saw some thermal features near the lake (we are near Yellowstone Lake) and when we finished, they were unloading 3 buses of people. Also, we are at about 7700ft above sea level. The average day temp is about 78 and the low is 40. Nice!

Till next time~
