Yellowstone Second Time Around

On Saturday right after I went to Island Park, I went to Yellowstone with some friends from the livestock center. Randy and Raquel were there again of course then Sylvia, and Amber and Kayla came too. At first I wasn't really in the best of moods. I was still upset and tired... extremeley tired. (Friday, woke up to milk at 5am and didn't get home till 1am, then woke up to leave on Sat @ 6am - not a whole lot of sleep) I was just kind of mellow and not my normal cheerful self but I guess thats normal, even though it still hurt.

We then went on the same hike that Randy, Raquel and I went on last fall. This time however we followed Randy to another waterfall farther on. This waterfall there wasn't really a trail to just a game trail. And at one point we had to do some serious bush wacking to make it through some dense small little pines. FINALLY at this point because it was such a work out I was able to stop thinking and enjoy myself. Also EVERYWHERE you looked there these dead pines lying down everywhere. I started walking across them because I had to get myself to focus and not lose balance and fall off. Man... that hike felt sooo good it was just what I desperately needed.

Later on though when were actually heading out to leave we heard there was grizzly bear sighting so we stopped to see. Well you could see some kind of brown spot moving in the distance but not really well. There a ton of people there though with spotting scopes and stuff and they were really nice and let us all look them so we could see the bears. It was really cool! It was a mama bear with four cubs.

We didn't stay as long this time as we did before.. mainly because we didn't have to go all the way around the park again to get out lol. Even though at first I was just really upset and sad still... eventually I was able to lose myself and forget and just had some more fun.
