Ok, better get busy and post some things. Yesterday we drove into the park in the middle of the afternoon and didn’t really do a lot but we did get to see some of the wildlife. Here is a shot of a nice looking buffalo — you wouldn’t believe the number of people who venture close to get a picture!! Today we were driving by one area and saw someone sitting on a rock almost in front of the beast getting a photo.

From the truck we saw a coyote running and looking for food close to the road, I rolled down the window and Mike slowed to a crawl and I snapped off about 10 photo’s of this animal, he wandered quite close to the road at times.

A view of the wonderful scenery — more of that to come. Mike and I both have been snapping photo’s, sometimes while he is driving if we see something I take the photo from truck with the window down and just start snapping.

We arrived in West Yellowstone yesterday, we are camped six miles from the west gate of the park. We got the camper set up and then I had to get laundry done as it had accumulated yet again. After managing to get the laundry room empty I was able to quickly get that task done. We went into the park by 3 in the afternoon if not slightly earlier and enjoyed the scenery and looking at the animals for about 4 hours or so. We got back to camp and seeing as I had put a stew in the crock pot before leaving we got to eat right away also. We have a newspaper that stated a bear had been sighted in the campground several weeks ago!!!! Some idiot decided to sleep outside of his tent and was awakened by a bear who it said “took a nip” at him. I imagine he screamed like a little school girl and scared it and it took off (I know I would have
) he was not injured. Everyone is warned as they come into the campground to set up that you are not to leave any food out ect, not even an ice chest as it might have scents of food. You have to clean off your grill if you use it and put your grill in your car or trunk or camper overnight and not leave it outside. We are taking pictures and I will try to get a couple photo’s on here soon to update.
