I am visiting family before I return home. We headed out for a picnic at Pineview Reservoir close to Huntsville Utah. They had fun in the water while I relaxed in the shade. David grilled up some bratwursts and sauteed some mushrooms and onions. We had a good lunch. Mark…

My 1:35 am flight to Seattle did not leave until 2:05 am, at least I got some sleep on the airplane. (I think I slept most of the flight.) The next leg of the flight we got to see Mt. Rainier. I must of fell asleep shortly after that for the next thing I know the stewardess flight attendant woke me …

It has become a running joke among ourselves, “It’s just another bison!” After about the first week we had seen so many bison seeing them was just second hand to us. We even had them eating just outside of the apartment. We would vocalize, among ourselves, our disapproval of the tourist’s actions wh…

The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center located in West Yellowstone Montana, just outside of Yellowstone National Park, is a great place to take your kids. Not only do they have grizzly bears and wolfs they have a ground squirrel enclosure and several different raptors. They have one program for the…
