My first trip to yellowstone National Park.

In September I had the chance to spend four days camping at Mammoth Hot springs Campground. And what a great trip it was. The first thing you notice at Yellowstone is there is something big going on beneath your feet, it might be two or more miles down but you can still feel it. As you walk around almost anywhere in the park you can feel the ground vibrate or quiver under your feet. At night when I went into the tent for some sleep even know I use an air mattress I could still feel the vibration all night long. You are after all sleeping in a volcanoes caldera or creator. What surprised me most was the only place I didn't feel the earth move, so to speak, was at and around Old Faithful. Go Figure. I saw plenty of bison and female elk but the bull elk sightings were few and far between. I only saw three in four days. However they easy to hear at night they seemed to be bugling going on in every direction all night long. One right around my tent about three in the morning. He moved on after about ten minutes allowing me to get back to sleep. The only thing that could have made the night better would have been wolves howling in the background. Unfortunately that didn't happen on this trip but maybe on the next one, I am a patient man I can wait. I am posting a picture of Old Faithful and one of the few bull elks that I saw on this trip.

This is me saying goodbye to you till whenever.
