There are a couple of huge Elk behind me, across the river.

Today, Saturday, August 2nd we went to Yellowstone Park. We saw about 30 elk, HUNDREDS of bison, a bald eagle and lots of Canada geese. Sadly we also saw a fire north of Fishing Bridge which was caused by a tree falling on some electrical wires. The fire spread accross the road and the river before it could be stopped. As we passed the fire on the west side of the road was still smoldering and the trees were all blackened and the underbrush burned. On the east side of the road the fire was still going strong. Tomorrow we are planning to go to Teton Park. We are having lots of fun, but tonight the trailer is ROCKING from strong winds. We are at Island Park Idaho. I hope the winds will die down soon so we can sleep!
Love to you all!

Good blogging mom. I'm glad your writing about your travels. Bear lake was a lot of fun but what's up with the chubby mermaid on the beach? lol.

Loves,
