We finally got David to go along with us fishing. To be honest he is working 10 to 12 hour days, so we let him slide on the fishing part. We headed out past Steamboat Point. The spot we were headed turned out to be in-accessible for a couple of old guys with bad joints, I with my knees and David wit…

I stayed home today while Sandra and the kids went back to Duck Lake. They had fun while edited photos and did some light reading. Mark…

Happy Independence Day! We went to Jackson Wyoming today, not so much for the Fourth of July, but more as tourists. We were talking about Jackson being called Jackson or Jackson Hole. Some people get a little testy. So Jackson Hole is the area, the valley between the mountains and Jackson is the tow…

We returned to the West Thumb area today. We had visited here to see the thermo features. Today we had two hikes we wanted to hike. The first trail we took was the Lake Overlook Trail. I was a nice hike steep enough to be some what of a workout and not to steep to beat my knees up to much. The views…

We drove to Gardiner Montana today. We had hoped to spend some time at the Yellowstone Research Library. It turns out that due to a staffing shortage the library is open on by appointment. We did stop by and visit the Gardiner community library, it is quite small. They do have a pretty good collecti…

Sandra and the grand kids hiked the south rim trail up to the point. Where we ate lunch. Sandra and Nickoli finished …

I stayed home today, while Sandra took the kids to the lake. Here are a few photos that Sandra took at the beach. Mark…

We made another attempt at catching some fish today. This time we brought all the kids. Sandra found some kind of invertebrate in the water. I guess I do not know that much about fishing, it has been many years since I have been fishing. Now that I think about it, it was in Missouri that I was last …

We made it a day for waterfalls in the Tower – Roosevelt area. Our first stop was Tower Falls. The hike, if you can call it that, was a short distance to the view point. The trail continues down hill to the river. There is another view point almost at the river where the maintained portion of the tr…

We planned on hiking the south rim trail today, but we thought it was closed. We did stop and walked to the lower falls view point. I do not think I had ever been there, at least that I can remember. The traffic and parking fluctuates a fair amount during the day. Some area’s are definitely are more…
