Wild Animals . . .


   It's good to be back in touch.  Can you believe that we have no internet service here at the Old Faithful Inn?  Something about "enjoying the outdoors" and "disconnecting from the world."  Hmmn, I for one am perfectly capable of enjoying nature and still using the internet, both in the same day.  I have foiled their plans and found a place called the Snow Lodge, which has internet service by the hour.  I'm trying to type fast . . .

   Here are the links to yesterday's and today's photos.

   We have had a great two days, and have already seen a black bear, quite a few bison, some elk, assorted chipmunks and squirrels, and a large amount of tourists, most of them carrying extremely large cameras.  We apparently had a bison pass quite close to our parking spot last night.

 

   Of course, the Hurley family has been behaving in its usual dignified manner.


   Almost forgot to mention, the ravens here are about the size of condors.


    A few parting shots -


Everywhere we rode today, the rangers said, "Yesterday, there were several hundred of the bison on the roads."  God is keeping us safe.  We only had to ride through about two dozen and they are MASSIVE.

   Tomorrow is my last day on the road with the boys and we are going to try and conquer the Bear Tooth Highway and Pass - apparently a must do for motorcyclists.
