YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK 8-3-11

A short hop to Yellowstone which should take us two hours, but most of that is on the scenic loop in the park.  No casinos in these gas stations.  They have all manner of stuffed animals on the walls and a fishing supply area.  We backed up in traffic right inside the gate for 1 1/2 miles which didn't bod well for getting to our campsite, but it turned out to be people stopping to see an eagle.  We saw the herd of bison which are pictured above.  As a matter of fact there are bison all over the place.  We biked south to Lake Lodge, one of the first public hotels in Yellowstone to have a look around.
