and the Deer and the Antelope Play............

Yesterday was where the buffalo roam and today we saw ......where the deer and the antelope play. We didn't get a picture of the deer, but we saw them. We also saw a grizzly bear. Real exciting to see that. Up ahead there were lots of cars stopping (always a sign of a sighting of something) and people pointing. We pulled over and searched the spot the people were pointing at and there he was, a dark colored grizzly bear. A park ranger was there to keep the traffic moving and to be sure everyone who stopped got off the road. He said if they don't do that, people will stop in the middle of the road and get out leaving their car doors open and everything. Anyway, he confirmed it was indeed a grizzly. He said some people thought it was a black bear because he was so dark, but he was a grizzly. We didn't get a picture because when we got out and got into position, he had gone up a draw and was gone.

We went through a part of the park today that we had not yet been. Three days for Yellowstone is a bare minimum to spend. It's so breathtaking and exciting to see all the wildlife up close and personal. And with this new camera of mine, it is so user friendly that it adds to the fun to get such good pics so easily.

We left the park today at the northern exit and went through the Roosevelt Gate. It was a sad goodbye to a beautiful place, but we will come back again. We are talking about coming back through here again on our way back home.

We are in Livingston Montana now. We stopped travelling a bit early today. We both needed a rest and to stop moving for a while! Not sure where we will go tomorrow, but we plan to go east through Montana and see the Little Big Horn.
