Sheldon and Geni's 2018 Trip to Alaska
Today is: August 06 (23,721)
We woke up in: Missoula MT We're going to sleep in: Gardiner, MT

Shel: We went to Yellowstone. Did the northern section as we had not been there before. Saw lots of Bison and I mean lots. Also some elk, a wolf, and pronghorn. Got caught in a traffic jam that just did not move, finally turned around. That lead us into a construction zone like you wouldn't believe.

Geni: Had so much fun seeing and taking pictures of the wildlife. We saw everything except bears (of course). But wanted to see mud volcanoes and traffic was backed up for a mile. Someone thought it was bison crossing the street, but we really didn't know. After 20 minutes we turned around. Then road to get back to campground (outside of park) was slowed down due to construction work and it took 45 minutes or more to get through that. Got back to campground at 10:00 pm in time to do website and sleep. Too many tourists (we usually vacation in September), too much construction. . .we may be leaving for home tomorrow!


Goats or pronghorn??

Hanging along side of road - "why are you bothering me" look

Elk

Baby Elk?

Beautiful waterfall - Undine Falls

Near Tower Roosevelt

Bison

Came across this herd near Lamar Valley

Couldn't resist all the pictures of the bison

Mangy wolf - Shel happened to see him walk across road

These are called Pronghorn - look like in reindeer family?

Elk? Loved the horns

Caught a glimpse of sunset - day is done
