The last days



Day 7 was traveling from West Yellowstone to Missoula, MT.

Day 8 was traveling from Missoula to Walla Walla, WA.

Day 9 was making the last bit of journey back home. We did make a stop at Maryhill Museum where Caitlyn & Mike fed some peacocks.
So Yellowstone proved to be a great vacation. I figured out it had been 28 yrs since I was there. Now I have many memories and hope they do not have to last me another 28 yrs before I get to go back.
We ended up seeing everything we wanted but a moose. We say deer, elk, buffalo, grizzly bear (we saw 3 just after our buffalo encounter), 2 bald eagles, big horn sheep and even a tiny chipmunk. Before we got to Yellowstone we saw antelope, more deer and elk, llama, horses, quail, donkey and even a three legged goat.
In the end we traveled 2500 miles, but the best part was that only 17 of the miles were traveled on a freeway. Our entire trip took us on one beautiful scenic highway after another.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures, sorry they didn't make it to you while we were there.
