| On June 10th we left the Teton's taking the short trip up the John D Rockefeller Jr Hwy northward into Yellowstone National Park. We aimed for Fishing Bridge campground, centrally located and the only camp with electric and water hookups. Well, the camp was full and there was no hope of a spot opening up during the time we would be in Yellowstone. The clerk called to the nearby Bridge Bay campground (6 miles away) and reserved us a spot. This would mean limited use of TV & computers but there was no TV reception anyway. I did set up the internet satellite dish and ran the generator when the batteries need charging. Shortly after we settled in this buffalo casually made his way through the camps and eventually settled down for a rest about 15 feet from a campers tent and stayed there for a couple of hours. |

| On our first day tour we traveled south/clockwise around the southern loop, passing first by the pretty Lake Yellow-stone, then thru Craigs Pass, the continental divide to Old Faithful. We waited until the predicted time of eruption and then waited just a few minutes more. Not the most spectacular pictures of the gyser, but it was our view and we enjoyed it. |

| Although wild life is abundant in Yellowstone, Johanne and I were disappointed at not having seen any bears. We, of course, saw many buffalo, in Grand Teton and Yellowstone. We saw a number of antelope, but only one moose, one wolf (too quick for a picture), many birds, including pelican, ducks, geese, etc. BUT.....NO BEARS!!! |
