Dodgin' Bison

What an incredible day that was just crowned to perfection with one of the biggest full moons I have ever witnessed coming up over the Rockies.

I left Greer at 5am but I had been laying in bed since 4am listening to the thunder, wind and rain. I made to Charlotte just in time, slept a little on the flight to Chicago and got a great view Lakeshore Drive on a sunny Chicago morning on the way into the airport. A quick latte from Starbucks and then off (early no less) to Bozeman.

A small, but beautiful airport greeted me and then I found myself in a nice, fully loaded 2009 Subaru Outback rental (thank you God and it had GPS and iPod hook-up).

I got to Yellowstone around 130pm local time and spent the 6 hours ridin' around the park. It was a squintiful (my new word) BLUE sky day that made the gorgeous landscape that much more. Lodge pole pines everywhere on the brown scrub mountains. I got to see Old Faithful do it's water version of the roman candle, I saw elk, 1 coyote (too small for a wolf), a moose and tons of bison, some up close and personal. Nothing stops the flow of vacation traffic like a 3000 lbs bull in the middle of the road. I may write about the idiots who got out of their vehicles some other day.

My steak just arrived and I am hungry after this long day in God's country. More tomorrow night! See ya!

Ok, I am back at the hotel and finished with the shower and teeth brushing (ahhhh yes). Corrected a few errors made on the blackberry, thumbs were working hard there at the steakhouse. I'm tired and have lots to do tomorrow. I will write more about my Sunday tomorrow.
