Roadtrip: WA to MN - Yellowstone

DAY TWO

Before I get to the Yellowstone pics, allow me to introduce my travel companion (besides my Ford Focus):



His name is Oulie (pronounced ooh-lee) Hey, I didn't name him! That was my Alaska co-worker Stevan. He gave me Oulie for the trip home and my assigned mission was to take pictures of him wherever I went. That's fine, but I made him pull his weight and as you can see above he took his turn behind the wheel when I got tired. He also tried to hog the string cheese Stevan gave me:



Cheese-hogger!

In order to make the long trip home somewhat exciting I.. err.. we took a detour through Yellowstone National Park.



Proof that Oulie was there:



There were many, many semi-tame elk just lounging around near the visitor center:





And some not-so-tame elk out in the wild. This bull elk had a whole harem to himself and he seemed to rule the ladies with an iron hoof.



Sorry for the poor quality of these photos, it was near sunset in low-light conditions and the elk were off in a distant field so it's grainy and blurry. (I need a better camera!)

Buffalo Traffic Jam

Whattya lookin' at, huh?!

Those are all the pics I was able to take before dark on day two. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion to Roadtrip: WA to MN
