Howdee all,
Just a quick post…We are driving into Gardner this morning to make phone calls and I am hoping to have broadband connection in order to post this.
We have been traveling with another couple who also have a motorhome..and enjoy hiking and fishing. Sicksta Charlene is staying with us and sleeping in her tent.
We are having a wonderful time in here in Yellowstone.
The weather has been perfect. Hiking has been excellent, Sicksta Charlene and I take evening soaks at the Hot springs in Boiling river.
We saw an amazing Double rainbow our first hike on the day we arrived.
We Hiked to the top of Bunson Peak for awesome views.
Picked Porchini mushrooms (Boletus Edulus)
and have seen endless amounts of Buffalo in the distance Near the Road
and in the road Two life birds for Jeff and I ..
The Gray Jay(below)Very friendly, curious birds.
And the Williamsons Sapsucker(no pic)
Charlene and I had close encounters with deerand close encounters with a young coyote (in front of Jeff) Looking for dinner and not concerned with us.
We have had elk in our campground.
Yesterday Charlene and I went to the hot springs and bathed with Elk around us….very cool ..wish I brought my camera.
We hiked to the top of Mt Washburn And to Cascade Lake
Jeff and Jimmy had an awesome fishing day yesterday, in the Lamar River Valley. Between the both they caught over 40 cutthroat trout all between 12 to 18 inches.
Jimmy and Jennifer left this morning and headed to the Grand Tetons..where we plan to meet them on Monday.
We have still not seen bear, Jeff and Jimmy saw a wolf yesterday.
………………………………………………………………………………….
These are just a few photos from endless amounts that I will go thru and eventually post.
A quick hello from us here in Yellowstone
We are having a great time.
And, surprisingly, I have had no internet withdrawal pains…
But I do miss talking to family and friends here in cyberspace….
Should have internet next Monday or Tuesday…
See you then!
All the pictures are nice, but those first two are absolutely STUNNING! I would rate them with the very best photos I have seen this year.

ReplyDeleteYellowstone is really one of the best place to do fishing as well as camping. It will provide great views and experience. I been there once and the experience is really superb. I really can forget it because of the spectacular experience I had.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you were able to take a picture of the rainbow
