We are all exhausted today, so my commentary will be brief. It turned out to be a good decision to get to Casper last night as the trip into Yellowstone was slow. There was a lot of road construction and mountainous driving. It was really stunning, too. Marci thought the Tetons were the most beautiful thing she has ever seen (next to me, of course).
Flat to start the day.
We finally see mountains.
Starting to gain altitude.
The pictures really don't do these beauties justice.
We have arrived.
The shores of Yellowstone Lake (where our campground is) reminded us of the Puget Sound shoreline a little bit.
There is hot water coming out of that cone.
The bubbles coming out of the ground around West Thumb.
Lots of moose.
Gaggles of them. It was a fun thing to see to end the day. I'm going to bed. Brent

"Gotta watch out for those Moose, they'll suck your spleen right out of your eye socket!"
I think that is my favorite Purvis quote of all time...

Wow - those pictures of the Tetons really make me homesick. I lived in Jackson for a few years and will never tire of seeing those peaks. What an incredible area! And who is the talented photog in your merry band, anyhoo?
Oh, and uh, Brent? Those deliciously beautiful creatures are elk, not moose. You want moose, just c'mon back to AK!
