Thursday, Jan 16. (No photos. Wifi is not any good in the woods.). Not as cold, plus we’re a little more experienced. Another day of searching for animals. Wolf, Fox, coyote, mountain goat, elk, moose, and of course lots of bison. Bison were the stars. Blocking traffic, a dispute between bulls, crossing against the light, etc. Massive animals.

The tour guide is an expert on many subjects. Massively educational. Don’t know how much I’ll remember. HIs time management is a little lacking, but that’s a trivial problem. The post-lunch snowshoe hike was supposed to be “a little” more difficult than yesterday’s. I bailed at the first opportunity. Mostly uphill. Soft, soft powder. As the only person to bail though, I availed myself the bliss of walking alone in a silent, magical field of snow. The Sounds of Silence.

Dinner was great again, and this time paid for. Brought a 2013 bottle of Fess Parker’s Crockett, which was excellent. Lobster ravioli, French onion soup, Linguine with sausage, then desert. Huckleberry hot chocolate in the bar. Great day.
