Sunday, June 19th

Day two of our weekend started off cool and rainy.  After breakfast in Cody and a stop at WalMart we headed back through the Absaroka mountain pass to Yellowstone.  Can you believe they still have avalanche warnings posted?  Summer is not hear yet no matter what the calendar says.
They shoot the cannon off to make the snow slide and then clear it off so there is
not as much of a chance of cars being hit unexpectedly.

We stopped at Artist Point to overlook the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River.  What a breathtaking view.  And there is a lot more water going over the falls then usual.

Farther up river we caught these bison trying to cross - one goes in and they all have to follow.  We didn't wait to see if they all went or not but I hear they are pretty good swimmers. We had a hitchhiker with us and wanted to get him to his destination.  All the employees that don't have cars just hold up a sign that says "Park Employee" and their destination and it doesn't take long for someone to stop and give you a ride.

The last two pictures are of a river taking a U-turn just before they go over Tower Falls. 

Enjoy and we will keep updating
