Sun,Aug 1.
Leaving SD behind and heading into Wyoming. Speed limit 75mph you got to love that. Wide open hot and flat until you reach Cody, Wy. Riding thru Buffalo Bill state park the Mtns. grow bigger and bigger before me and the winding road puts a smile on my face. 20 dollars to enter Yellowstone and worth every penny. Mtn peaks still cappped with snow as I wind up the mtns. About 10 miles in something catches my eye. I pulled over, grabbed the camera and about 200yds in a meadow was a grizzly bear. I took a shot with my zoom maxed but I'm not impressed with the picture. The switchbacks are exiting heading down towards Butte Lake as you look the drivers who are behind you in the eye! Approaching Old Faithfull I get a photo of a mama Bison with her calf, very close. The day before a woman was attacked by a Grizzly but luckily survived. That night a 49 yr old man was not so lucky and was killed in his tent by the same Female Griz, they found and shot her only to find her two starving cubs nearby, no explanation as to why. Waited to video and picture ol faithfull for our girls. Jess and Sara had to see it. Then I went to firehole canyon to take a look in to hells eyes~wild. Exiting the west end of Yellowstone I reluctantly said good- bye, 2 hrs later down I 40 was in Rexburg Idaho.
