YELLOWSTONE PARK TRIP

We headed to Yellowstone Park to show it to Mark.  Stopped by Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park first.  Did a tour there and spent the night.  Connie was not feeling really great as she had a sore throat.  Next day we headed to the park, but stopped at Ennis and Connie saw a doctor.  We then headed on to the park, but could not find a campsite.  The National Parks are really getting crowded!  We spent the first night near Gardner, MT at a Forest Service Campsite.  Next day went to Indian Creek campground and camped then went for a hike.  Got to hear some bull elk bugle and saw a few cows.  The next morning Connie was really feeling rough so headed home in the jeep.  Mark and I hiked up Bighorn Pass trail and got to see some great country.  Also elk and bison.  Yellowstone is great when you get a couple of miles from the roads and campgrounds.  Spent a few more days there in the park then headed over to the Centennial Valley where we visited the Red Rocks National Wildlife Refuge and one of the Martinell cow camps.  Also stopped by the ranch and visited with Allen and Yvonne.  Then it was back to the Bitterroot.  Good trip but was pretty tired when we got home.
