2600 miles, 1400+ images to edit and a wish that I didn't have to come home... Toured Yellowstone and Grand Teton last week. Took the back roads to get there and spent time looking for critters and forgotten America... I'll share the critters here.

This proves it... Elk can't read....

Hiked beyond a locked gate with bear spray to sneak up on a elk of heard. Not easy, with bears in the area they are on full alert.

Antelope were easy to spot, but hard to get close to.

Please get my good side.

Foggy morning on the Firehole River.

They call them Red Dogs and they are cute, if not a little cheeky.

The business end of a bison.

The good stuff is always just out of reach.

Mom was showing the yearlings how to find worms.

First and only elk calf we saw. Mom was nervous with bears around.

Couldn't get this moose to shut up.

Got to watch the sun go down with a new friend.
