be loading up and heading home on Tuesday. This has been an awesome experience and we have enjoyed
every minute of it. We've had the pleasure to met a lot of really nice and "interesting" people (both fellow workers and park guests) and will have lots of stories to tell.
Our last visitors, Sergio and Margaret Comarella arrived Friday, Sept. 23rd. We toured on Saturday and I have included a few pictures of Yellowstone's larger residents. The bull elk came right up to the road to cross in front of us but was blocked by all the watchers. Luckily he waited patiently for the crowd to clear and we assume eventually found his "harem" of females. It's amazing how close people will get to these wild animals which has resulted in several injuries this summer. Jim and Sergio did some hiking on Sunday and Margaret and I did some shopping and geyser gazing here at Old Faithful. They left Monday for a visit to Glacier National Park and will be back through tonight on their way to Jackson Hole for their flight home. We have really enjoyed all of you that visited us and allowed us be "tour guides". 
I've included a picture of the gift store in the Old Faithful Lodge where I worked and a picture of my manager, Marycline Pickenpaugh. She's from Mississippi and this was her 3rd year as manager. Another picture is of Jim, his boss Ron Beaumont, and me standing by the OF eruption prediction clock posted in the lobby of the lodge. Can't begin to count how many people we've directed to that clock after fielding our most asked question "whens the next eruption?" And of course one final shot of Old Faithful. We must have seen it erupt 300 times this summer but have never tired of watching it. Thanks for following our blog and for sending us your messages during our post-retirement time in Yellowstone. We have enjoyed all of your comments and hope you have enjoyed our adventure in Yellowstone as much as we have.
See you soon!!!!!
Ann & Jim
