Day 6

Today was a very busy day...we saw tons of wildlife, went on a hike and almost surprised a Grizzly, and went trout fishing

We were hiking up the trail you see here, when Dave spotted a bear thru his binoculars.

Turned out to be a Grizzly Bear. Fortunately we saw it or we would have stumbled right on top of it...would not have been good.

Typical Yellowstone buffalo traffic jam

The culprits

We hiked up to Trout Lake to fish. This huge pine tree was on the way

Herman waited for us while we were fishing.

The fishing was actually pretty good. Dave caught this nice Rainbow Trout and I caught 2 nice Cut Throats

The lake was beautiful

After the day's activities we needed to gather some firewood for camp. We loaded up Danielle's new car with firewood. She'd kill us if she new.

We camped here for 2 nights. It was a great campsite right next to Slough Creek.
