Quick Update

Sorry for not updating recently. We're made it to Yellowstone and have been spending all our time searching for wildlife. Here's a quick update about what's been happenning since our last post.

  • Steph and I had a bit of altitute sickness after our big hike in Rocky Mtn NP, so we didnt do any more hikes. We drove up over the mountains and saw some big herds of elk including a couple big bucks. On the way out of the park we saw a moose and calf (pretty far away) and some bighorn sheep.
  • We stayed with my cousin Josh and his wife Sylvia in Stapleton, CO - the most sustainable city in the country. Went out to eat with them and Taylor and had a good time exploring Denver.
  • Steph killed a dog. I'm not kidding. We borrowed Josh and Sylvia's bikes on Saturday for some exploring. There was this little dog just running down the sidewalk, so Steph chases it (she claims she was trying to call it). Anyways the dog runs out in the street and just gets nailed. Poor little thing. The eye popped out and everything. Sick. We're pretty sure it was a stray.
  • That night we drove all night up to Yellowstone. Really wasnt that bad. I was paranoid about a deer running out in the road, and we saw a lot of them right next to it, so that kept me pretty alert.
  • We're staying at the Norris Campground in Yellowstone. Last night it poured down rain but we were able to stay dry.
  • So far in Yellowstone we've had 3 grizzly sightings, TONS of bison (including a whole herd swim across the river which was really cool), elk, deer, pronghorn antelope, but NO wolves. We'll find some.
  • Yellowstone is awesome.
We'll update and add pictures in a couple days when we get out of the park.
