I wish I could do the past few days justice, but there are three factors working against me. The first is I am exhausted so my brain is fried. The second is that we have seen so much that I would have a hard time remembering everything. And finally, any words I might choose would fail to capture most of the experiences.
That being said I am simply going to list my favorite experiences in no particular order:
1) sharing these experiences with my best friend and love of my life
2) seeing a massive bull elk as we arrive at our first camping area
3) seeing two beavers on the side of the road (I got some cool pictures)
4) seeing three bull bison locking horns with each other for around 10 minutes
5) despite the crowds, seeing Old Faithful erupt from several different vantage points
6) seeing a huge herd of buffalo with several calves mixed in with the herd (the babies are cute)
7) some as above with a herd of elk
8) on our last day in Yellowstone, seeing a total of 9 grizzlies (all at a very safe distance): a very large male, a mother with two cubs (about a year old - these two were very playful), another mother with one cub, and finally one more mother with two little cubs (not sure of their ages). This was a very good day for watching grizzlies.
9) seeing the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, it brought back memories of the Grand Canyon in Arizona
10) watching a lightning storm come into the valley (the accompanying rain was not as much fun because we were camping, but it was a cool experience overall)
11) not the food - we did not have a single memorable meal while in Yellowstone
I think I am done for now. It is getting late. Hopefully, I will add more later, but we will be in Glacier National Park tomorrow.
