[singlepic id=1205 w=480 float=left] A second shot from the dunes, looking out over Glen Lake, but chronologically taken before the picture from yesterday. I’m not sure if I took this before or after I developed a sizeable hole in my foot. Picture take with Pentax W60, lens @ 5mm (28mm… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1204 w=640 float=center] Oops – forgot to add text to this space. Well, that’s a picture of North Manitou Island as seen from one of the overlooks on the Pierce Stock Drive. Not sure what the Coast Guard ‘copter was out there for. Pictures taken with a camera (details… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1147 w=480 float=left] Here’s a second shot of Half Dome taken at Sunset on our first day in Yosemite taken from Glacier Point. I believe there was a hike that we could have done ending at the point, but we had been doing other things throughout the day, so… Continue reading

On the up-side, the campground in the Badlands had showers. On the down-side, they were cold. We did a variety of shorter trails on the second day. Cliff Shelf Trail – a shorter loop following a boardwalk through juniper trees with a geologic slump. Door Trail – a three quarter… Continue reading

We woke up and took some time to pack up camp as this was move-out day. We were basically just going to head out the Northeast entrance to the park stopping for whatever we found along the way. First find, ignoring the road side bison that we shot some pics… Continue reading
We started out the day with the plan to go see Yellowstone Falls and Artist’s Point (#3). The ranger told us that there was 6ft of snow on the trail, but we figured he was just being cautious and we’d go regardless, like we had in the Tetons. On our… Continue reading
Day two in Yellowstone we started with a visit to the Norris Basic Geysers (#4). This, as you may be able to predict from the name, is right next to our campground. We arrived pretty early and were among only a few vehicles in the lot when we got there…. Continue reading
We had a leisurely start to the day packing up all the items that we had laid out to dry and charge the night before, the stopping at the Walmart in Cody for foodstuffs and getting gas. We got back into Yellowstone through the East entrance (#1 on the map)…. Continue reading
