Yellowstone with Family



Where????


Bison forging the Yellowstone River

Moose Mom

Where is the elk herd?
After our daughter and husband arrived we traveled to Yellowstone NP on our 4 days off.  In Cody, where we stayed 3 days, we went to a rodeo.  I did not take my camera.  I wanted to experience it without being behind the lens.  It was lots of fun. Then we went to Yellowstone.  The first day John drove the lower loop with Old Faithful, mudpots, Hayden Valley and huge Yellowstone Lake.  The second day we went north to Mammoth through Lamar Valley. We saw herds of bison, elk, mule deer, a coyote and pups, moose mom and babe, small rodents like weasel and pika,  geese, ducks and pelicans.  John drove all day just stopping at Custer Battlefield arriving late Sunday night at the tower.  It was a wirlwind experience that I think Lisa and Jim enjoyed.  John went back to work after all that driving (back to work to rest).

  1. Mom & Dad, We had an amazing time with you both! Whirlwind or not. We saw so much and appreciate your willingness to share your home on wheels, knowledge and love of this area. Once again our time together was too short. Thanks for being great hosts and parents no matter where you hang your hat. You are the best V.I.P.s Safe Travels and Happy Trails!!! Jim and Lisa
