It was a nice drive today on a combination of highways, including Interstate 90 and US 212. We saw some really wide open and remote country. Now I know why they call this Big Sky Country. In fact, at one point we came across some modern day sheep herders, using ATVs instead of horses.
Saturday, 9/27: Today we drove to Yellowstone National Park. The park is about an hour drive from Livingston. As expected, the park was crowded. In fact, a record 3.8 million visitors have been there so far this year. Also, as expected, we did not get to see anywhere near all of the park in a one day visit. However, we did get to see lots of wildlife, including elk, moose, buffalo, mule deer, big horn sheep, antelope, coyote and fox. We took in a sampling of geysers, but stayed away from the really crowded spots like Old Faithful. The first picture below is a 20 second video.
We capped off the day with a visit to the Katabatic Brewing Company where we sampled a couple of local brews.
Tomorrow we are off to meet my sister Karen and her husband Bob in Crescent City, California three days from now.
