Yellowstone and the grand Tetons are so amazing that it is hard to explain, thanks John R for the tip on the Tetons. The fires in 88 are still obvious but the 2.2 million acres of cliffs, waterfalls, wildlife and wilderness are crazy beautiful. Still no bears, but Missy got the greatest picture of a female Elk one could expect, keep in mind when looking at it that there is zero zoom from the camera.
We were able to see more Buffalo, Eagles, Anolope and new were Coyotes, Grey wolf, a strangely aggressive Raven tiring to get my glove and tons of Elk. All in all we planned, after talking with the ranger, to spend 6 hours the first day, 7 hours the second day and 2. 5 hours the last day viewing the parks. We ended up spending 29 hours in total but left feeling like we saw the whole park, which we didn’t.
There was a tale of two buffalo carcasses six mile from the northeast entrance being guarded by a 700 lb grizzly; we shot out there and nothing. The bear is, by our estimation, fake but the drive was amazing. In addition to the wildlife is a landscape that is alive with boiling hot springs, geysers, pools and extemreophiles (organisms that live in extreme conditions)
Wow ….just, wow hope you like the pics.

Just shows what an amazing, creative God we have! Wow. I finally figured out...it is not black pines in sand, it's black pines in rock!
