Yellowstone National Park Day 27
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Today, we planned to sit somewhere and watch. We had talked about this a few times, but we had not done it. In Yellowstone, there is a problem with FOMO – Fear Of Missing Out. Not matter where you are in the park, there is something interesting happening somewhere…

Grand Teton National Park Day 25
Grand Teton National Park, WY, June 2025 Kate wanted MORE cancel stamps, so she plotted a convoluted route from Fishing Bridge to Jackson Hole, WY that hit every cancel stamp (that was open) within 100 miles. Maybe it was only 20 miles. We drove down John D. Rockefeller, Jr Memorial Parkway to get from Yellowstone…

Yellowstone National Park Day 20
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 One of the office workers told Kate that there were goslings at Madison, so Kate needed to go see the goslings.

Yellowstone National Park Day 17
Yellowstone National Park, WY, Jun 2025 (Note: There are a lot of videos on this post. Some of them are longer. We down size and reduce the bit rate, but it might still take a bit to load some of them.) When John downloaded the bird list to identify a duck, he ran across the…

Yellowstone National Park Day 16
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We planned on a short walk and getting a cancel stamp at Norris because the weather was “supposed” to be bad. Also, John had to climb that hill to get back from the White-faced Ibis photographs on his off day. There are a series of lakes across the middle…

Yellowstone National Park Day 15: Part 3 – Beaver False Alarm
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Spoiler Alert: It was a Beaver false alarm. John was taking pictures of a male and female Barrow’s Goldeneye Duck from Fishing Bridge. The ducks were diving to feed, and it looked like they stirred up a stick from the bottom. A short time later, Kate started yelling about…
