OK, Saturday was yet another beautiful day. Since the snow, all of the days start out without a cloud in the deep blue sky. During the day, it gets a little cloudy, but in the afternoon the thunder clouds roll in and we get a little rain and lightning. We did the southern loop in Yellowstone. It was about 126 miles. We say lots of buffalo and elk again.












There seems to be lots of them coming out of the woods and into the open meadows, and the herds are getting bigger. The first place we stopped was at the Canyon Village gas station. Lots of people asking us questions about the buggys. Seems that every place we stop, the kids come running over and want pictures taken. Dennis says there are more pictures taken of the buggys than their are of the animals. The next place we went was to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The Yellowstone river flows on the east side of the Continental Divide and flows to the Missouri river. The Yellowstone river flows over two falls. The upper and the lower. We went to the upper falls. Amazing...












The Movie...

Cursory view of the buggys...












We then followed the Yellowstone River to Yellowstone Lake. Lots of panoramic views of the lake, mountains, and valleys. Stopped at various mud pots and steam vents.











Went to a place called White Dome. We were there about 10 minutes and it started to blow...












Unfortunately while we were there, a bus full of people showed up and parked right behind Tony. They are gathered around him, and this is what it looked like with Tony hunkered down as far as he could go...












All in all it was a good day.

Hi Diana & Gary:
Love your pictures from Yellowstone! It has been quite a few years since we were last there but, it's one of our favourite places. We just returned home four weeks ago from 9 weeks on the road in our GMC(GMCMI Santa Rosa rally). Loved every moment of it. Check out my blog at: simscityca.blogspot.com for an account of our adventure.
Keep up the good work...
