Arrived At Yellowstone..........
about 1100 today. Came in through the Grand Tetons but hazy weather detracted from the overall view..........also the Tetons are much more impressive when they are snow capped. Oh well, you can't have everything, we're just lucky to be here. Saw some more mangy buffalo and a small herd of antelope as we left Gros Ventre. Had to make a stop at a pull out so we could log a "virtual" geocache. I was playing with the computer yesterday and discovered that there are a bunch of virtual caches in Yellowstone. We hope to find a bunch of them. Our first stop was Bridge Bay where there was a virtual cache, a nail pounded into the railing with the number "8" on it. A boat was leaving about 1300 for a trip onto the Lake so we signed up for it, had lunch and then floated around the lake for about an hour. Here's some pictures taken from the boat, the old hulk was a steamboat that's been in the lake for over 70 years. When we drove into the campground I saw people with their internet satellites and TV dishes pointed skyward. I was lucky in finding holes in the trees and had both dishes up and running in about 15 minutes. Right now we're just kicking back and will start our adventures early (?) tomorrow morning. I'd like to drive toward the NE entrance and hopefully we can spy some bears. About the only animals we've seen so far are buffalo.....if we can see some moose, elk and bears then this trip will be an outstanding trip. Posting some miscellaneous pictures. More later.
