Well things change at the last minute. Thought we would be preparing to rough it for the night at our prepaid campground at Rainbow Point Campground in Gallatin National Forest in Montana, but due to a dodgy looking dashboard light rearing it's ugly head, and a decision that it is better to be safe than sorry, Trev and Wayne decided to head North to Bozeman Montana to attempt to rectify said dashboard light and bunk down at a Motel 6. Free long distance calls and some procious time on the phone with the 2 bosses, and free wifi and life's OK.
Wayne was up early at 5am to head out from Jackson WY to take some early morning shots of the Grand Tetons. Returned to pick up Trev at 730 and we hit the road for the day at Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is a BIG park measuring at least 60 mile by 60 mile and there is usually a ton of wildlife to be seen. Well today we spotted a grand total of 4 bison, 20 elk all gathered at the same place (Mammoth) and zero buffalo. Actually saw more roadkill than bloody animals.....all squirrels of course!! Then the dashboard light reared it's ugly head and we headed a hundred mile north to the nearest Renatl car depot to sort it out. Hopefully it should disappear in the next day or two!!
Tomorrow we plan to head to Glacier National Park right on the canadian border....but of course whose to say things mightn't change!!! Hope not!!
Until later............
Trevor says Yellowstone lived up to all expectations that he expected. I've seen a number of documentaries on the US national Parks one of which was Yellowstone- so diverse and beautiful, did not see as many wildlife as anticipated BUT he they must have been camera shy and wary of Ozzies. Lots of hot springs and spectacular rock formations, glad the rivers were still running from winter snow. Looking forward to Glacier NP tomorrow. Trevor
