We've had a very good time thus far, and aside from the occasional work related headache or the occasional "he said/she said" from the back row, I'd expect the remaining 23 days to be just as good.
August will kick off with our attempt to watch elk and anything else that would like to come out and play on the western side of Yellowstone National Park and then we'll make our way to the geyser area to take in Old Faithful and a hike to the top of the mountain nearby. Henry and I made this hike in 2009 and just missed seeing a coyote on the walk up. There are about 700 grizzly bears and 400 wolves estimated to be in the park today which sounds like quite a bit but given that the park is about the size of Connecticut, we'll b e lucky to spot either of these and if we don't, it won't be for the lack of trying. We do have an idea where some of the wolves are but won't likely make it to that area until Sunday or Monday. It's also breeding season for the buffalo so here's to hoping they show some self control when children are present.
