Day 12
Yellowstone NP - Lewis & Clark State Park, Montana
Total Miles: A lot
Total Bison: Probably more than miles
Total Bug Bites: About 15
Hours to Glacier NP: 4.5
Today's highlight was meeting Lee and Tiva...man and dog. They are traveling from Oregon to Arkansas together...on a bicycle with an attached cart for Tiva to sit on as Lee pedals! I caught up with them during a water break. Apparently lots of people have been enjoying the photo op, even Tiva was looking great for the camera. Yesterday they were being tracked by a wolf until someone in a truck came by and gave them a ride out of harms way. Very interesting fellow. I think I should have invited him to have some lunch with me and stolen a bit more time to talk. The side of the road with bugs circling like vultures is not the best spot to chat.
Tomorrow it's off to Glacier where I am determined to see a moose, mountain goats a bear or two and bighorn sheep (I think they have those.)
Animals, new to me, I'm pretty sure I've seen so far: bison, elk, mule deer, marmot, pica, black wolf, pronghorn & lots of new birds I haven't IDed yet.
