This is not Supposed to happen (West Yellowstone, MT)

 

Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center (78 of 79)

There is SNOW on my truck.  Actually it is more like frozen rain.  It was cold yesterday when we toured Yellowstone.  When we were going through the higher elevations, 8900 feet, it started to show.  Since the air temps were 43 degrees, no snow stuck to the ground.

Now for yesterday’s trip.

In 1988 there were devastating forest fires in Yellowstone.  It was the worst in US history.  In the following pictures you can see the devastation from  these fires.  The fires released seeds and healthy trees have grown.  It has been only 25 years but he forest is coming back.

There are so many pictures I cannot put them in the blog.  These are a few.   From time to time I will upload more pictures, when WiFi is available, and attach a link to the end of the blog.  You may look at them whenever you like.

Tomorrow we will do our last tour of Yellowstone.  I will try to do one more blog.  On Monday we go up and over the mountains, east to Cody, WY.

Happy Birthday Andrew !!

Life is Super on the Roan Road…
