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
