Here is why you visit Yellowstone....Not for the fishing!!!
« on: October 22, 2015, 05:54:20 PM »
A trip to Yellowstone in fishing terms a bust, but the other experiences were an A++.
Great company, weather and experiences.
The Griz waded into the water not more than 40 yrds upstream from me. I had time to dash to the truck for some awesome pics. These are just a sample.
Not a fan of the traffic jams that are caused by timid drivers waiting for bison to "get out of the fricking way", just give'm a nudge  ;)

I love Yellowstone!  I spent a year working on a ranch close to Emigrant MT.  Every chance I had I would ride my bike into the park and enjoy the scenery and wildlife.

May I suggest: adjusting the white balance on the grizz photos?  ;)

Great critter shots.   How were the crowds?

I see a lot of things shaped in the clouds.  But, I have never seen such a perfect likeness of Sia before :chuckle:  NICE!
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

More folks than I would have thought for mid Oct. But the weather was so nice probably a last hurrah for the season. Several things including many bathroom facilities were already closed for the season.

Rad we were stopped in a "bison jam" watching that cloud formation. Interesting how it morphed over several minutes
