  • Yellowstone National Park Day 34

    Yellowstone National Park, WY & MT, June 2025 Today’s original plan was to get up at 7 am and go wolf spotting in Hayden Valley. Kate woke up at 6:45 am and saw that it was going to rain. The plan changed and we decided to sleep in instead. At 8 am, we got up…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 33

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 32

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Kate had a problem with spotting scope envy. John had a problem with lens envy, so he had to buy a bigger camera lens.

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, Jun 2025 Just a warning, this post may be classified as Not Safe For Kids (NSFK) and squeamish people.

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We found out that the Natural Bridge Trail was open. They close it in the spring because Bridge Creek has spawning trout that attract bears.

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 28

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Today was a recovery and catch up day. We got the blog up to date. We relaxed. We went owl hunting. The only thing I can say about our owl hunting is that owls are in no fear of becoming endangered due to our efforts. There were owls reported…
