Back to the Real World

Well, my real world anyway. I've had a fantastic last few days and most of the time I didn't have internet or phone service but intermittently. Thus, the few phone calls or blog entries.

From Devils' Tower to the laundromat I'm sitting in now I've camped three days and enjoyed a multitude of nature's beauty. I've also discovered to camp sites that anyone would enjoy; one along Silvee Lake and the other along side Jackson Lake. And actually at the Jackson Lake one I did have some internet and phone access but who wants to spend time on the internet when you have all of nature to explorer.

Two of the more exciting moments came at Silvee Lake and while driving through Yellowstone.

At Silvee Lake I parked the Jeep and started walking around the lake when over to the right there was a family of moose. Minding their own business munching away on the trees and the grasses. I was able to get pretty close and noticed the bull had spent plenty of time scrapping the felt cover off of his horns. Here's some pictures of the moose.





The second incident was while I was driving through Yellowstone. I came upon some buffaloes and of course they decided to cross the road right as I was coming up. Well, at least that was I thought!! To my surprise they turned up the road and started walking right towards me but in the lane next two me. Yep, they walked right past me; heck, I could almost reach out and touch them they were so close. Here's the video. Be sure to have your sound on!!!



I also recorded two other videos: one of Old Faithful but it is too big to post here, and one of the Upper Falls. It's pretty cool so I'll add it to my next post. It takes forever to upload the videos. Wow!! I'm sure Dairy Queen appreciates my patronage though! lol

  1. Way waaaaaay cool. You should have petted the buffalo. I'm sure they wouldn't have minded...so long as you didn't mind losing a finger or two.
