Mammoth Campground, Yellowstone

This is my last day here. Tomorrow, I'll move down to the Tetons and then home by Thursday evening.

This morning was wolves again and them moving around seeing stjuff. We had 2 eagles in the tree from the wolf watching area:



And a pronghorn just off the road:



And a black bear near the road as well:

The cars coming the other way stopped and waited for him to cross while the line I was in stayed well enough behind that he just walked all the way – right down the centerline. After lunch, I took a nap – for 3 hours! That kind of did my day in.
