September 6-10, 2017 Driving toward the East Gate

Wednesday, September 6 to Sunday September 10

We took it easy the last few days of our stay in YNP.  There was laundry to do, chili to make, one last drive to Hayden Valley.

Saturday I made a pot of chili for everyone.  We all ate on our own schedules.  Fill your own bowl, and eat when your are hungry!

Gary and Evelyn, and Doug and Mildred took one day to drive to the Mammoth Hot Springs Area.  We had been there, it was a long--nearly 100 miles one way--trip, so we didn't go.

Sunday September 10
Glen and I drove through Fishing Bridge area, and around the east end of Lake Yellowstone.

 The above two pictures are on the east end of Yellowstone Lake

 This bison herd was at the end of the Fishing Bridge.

 This bison was in our campground.  It had walked around the motor home and was grazing that close.

 More of the east end of Yellowstone Lake.

 Remnants of a forest fire.

Gnarly!

While we were exploring the East end, Doug and Mildred, Jeff and Marcella went to the Midway Geyser Basin to hike the "Fairy Falls" trail.  

Sunday Night:  We said our "good-byes" to Doug and Mildred, Gary and Evelyn.  They were leaving Very Early Monday morning--much earlier than us!
