Traveling through eastern WY Wed 5/29 and staying in Buffalo, WY.  We had Buffalo Burgers for dinner in Buffalo, WY and washed them down with a draft of Moose Drool (no lie) beer.  Margie was ecstatic!!
Headed across Montana tomorrow to end up Friday in Bozeman, MT to pick up our rental car and head to our 3 month home in Yellowstone Saturday AM. Our site is confirmed to be ready and waiting!!  We start work on Monday!

Sunset at Sprague Lake ... normally dinnertime for the Moose

Saw Momma Owl near her nest when we first arrived at RMNP, but didn't see the baby until the LAST day.  I THINK this eas the first time s/he left the nest!  First time I've ever seen a baby Great Horned Owl!!

Alberta Falls @ RMNP ... pretty heavy water flows ... warmed up a bit in the mountains this week setting off a lot of snow melt!

On Memorial Day, the moon set right after the sun rose ... pretty cool!!!

Sunrise at Sprague Lake in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park (RMNP).Note the pink cast on the mountaintops ... this happens sometimes when weather conditions are just right.

The "gray" bottoms on all the trees are from bears marking their territory and elk eating the bark or cleaning/sharpening their antlers ... sometimes kills the trees

Finally got to see some Bighorn Sheep in Sheep Lakes ...

Great Horned Owl ... baby was in the nest, but we couldn't get a good shot.  Yellow headed woodpecker was something we've never seen before.

Streams are flowing pretty heavy with the warmer weather and increased snow melt

Bull Elk was not real happy to have us around his harem.

Sprague Lake is really (depressingly) different from our last visit! :(  Everywhere you look the trees have either been cut down, fallen down, or are dying from the Pine Beetle damage.

The stream we walked along from our campsite and Margie happily sitting near Bullwinkle at the Red Rocks Grill in Morrison, CO

Latest pics from the Rockies ... Sprauge Lake, Bear Lake and the Alluvial Fan (Caused by a huge dam break which filled 42 acres with boulders and completely flooded Estes Park.More to come tomorrow since the system isn't behaving and won't let me upload ... :(

Pix from our visit to Devils Tower in Wyoming. Can you find the three climbers on the face of the Tower in picture #7 - They ARE THERE! :)

View from Badlands NP "Panorama Viewpoint"

One more night in Badlands NP then off to Devil Tower.  Still pretty cold (34) but hoping for some sun today.  A few shots from our travel yesterday (4/30)
