We saw Grizzly Bears!!!

We’ve seen several grizzly bears and Vic has talked to some of the group of about 20 people that are obsessed with taking pictures of them. They hang out in the park every day, all day and have been doing this for years. We started going into the park about 3:30, usually with Mark and Elizabeth, and staying until sundown around 9 or 9:30. We bounced back and forth from the good eagle spot to the 2 places most likely to see a bear.

From the “clique” we learned each bear’s name, their relationship, and how old they are.

We’ve been enjoying Homestead campground and being just outside of Yellowstone for a few weeks now. The weather is perfect – low to mid seventies daytime and low sixties or high fifties at night. It has rained a little each day but never all day and not enough to interfere with our plans. We’ve met several people who live in Cody and all of them have been friendly and forthcoming with information and advice. The winters here are harsh. If not for that we would seriously consider living here. We call our camper the Magic House. It feels magical the way we can live the way we do.
