A Little Hail in West Yellowstone

Today we got one of several hail storms which hit the area. Luckily, we did not have any damage.

A few of these hail storms came at night and covered the ground with several inches that you could still see the next morning.

Chatfield thought it might be safer up here just in case it got much deeper.

Yellowstone National Park

Visitors to Yellowstone National Park in May are here to view the animals of Yellowstone.

Animals are seen in virtually every open field and on most hillsides.

The bald eagle can be seen all summer long.

In May, bison and elk alike can easily be seen from the road in the safety of your car.

The animals primary activity is eating.

As summer progresses, the animals will venture farther from human territory as the snows of winter melt up in the mountains, making food more easily accessible there.

More eating.

If they aren't eating, they are likely to be staring at you wondering what the heck you are.

And sometimes you will find them sitting down and resting...both old and young alike.

Buffalo Wy. to West Yellowstone Mt.

What a difference a day can make. The winds had stopped and the sun was out. Ahead is where we had to stop on the highway the day before. You could see the road today.

It's hard not to snap a few pictures on the way. Look at the lake in the distance.

You know you are getting closer to West Yellowstone when you are greeted by bison.

We made it to West Yellowstone and set up camp next to co-workers who also came back this year.

Nice view from our front window.
