we headed toward the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone area for another cache. The road to Artist Point was under repair but the cache was still accessible. It started at a parking lot on the east side of the Yellowstone river and we had to follow Uncle Tom's trail. The trail immediately took us almost straight down from the parking lot. I kept telling Becky that we had to climb back out of here......like talking to a brick wall. We got to the lower part of the trail and it forked. Trees all over so GPSr not much help. We took the wrong trail, climbed almost all the way back up to where we started and discovered our error. Back down again, found the right trail and began an ascent again to the correct viewpoint we were looking for. Becky found a friend on the way. Found the viewpoint, took some pictures to prove we had been there. The pictures are of the south fall area. Saw some elk and deer while we were driving to Uncle Tom trail. Last two pictures are part of the Yellowstone Grand Canyon. After this little excursion we were ready to go home for breakfast........unfortunately we had missed breakfast and it was almost time for lunch. It doesn't pay to start the day at 0630.
