Grizzly 399! (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. Grizzly 399! Blurry picture, furry bear. This was super cool, especially noting the fact that she got hit by a car and died only four months later.

Cinnamon Bear Cub (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. This cute little guy was right on the side of the road. Unfortunately we were on the opposite side, so I zoomed in to the max to snag this shot. We were also driving slowly down the road, so maybe that’s why the picture is so blurry. (Okay, I’ll quit making excuses….
Banana Slug (Washington)
Fall City, Washington. I was just walking around in our site, and I leapt back–a snake? 😨 But, after the generally general, scary scare, I looked closer. Aha and avast! At last! A banana slug. If it was a banana, it was rather unripe. 🤣 These beastly beasts best even the best of sluggish slugs….
Chubby Squirrel (California)
Paicines, California. This big guy would find an acorn, and then he’d go sit on a stump to eat it. He was, as you can see, extremely fat. (I wonder if the people who were in our site before we were fed him. 😲 🤣) Actually, though, he earned it, because he was hard at…
Snake on Sea Lion Caves Pathway (Oregon)
Florence, Oregon. We were walking down the Sea Lion Caves Pathway in high hopes of seeing sea lions gathered by the hundreds in the sea caves. The pathway was just basically a sidewalk, one side being a drop-off into the Pacific Ocean, and the other being a steep but short bank. That’s where we saw…
Big Bison on the Road (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. This dude was clopping down the road. Bison commonly cause traffic jams in YNP. It’s worth it the first few times, but if you’re there a whole summer, you’ll know what I mean by “boring”. 😛 The proud guys think they own the roads. And everything else.
Baby Elk and Its Mama (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. This little (or big) cutie pie was right outside our site in Grant Village, so I ran out and took a few pictures. I made sure to stay on the other side of the road—who knew?—it might be Feisty Frizzle and her baby! (See Feisty Frizzle, Critter Sightings.) The mama seemed a…
Wow! Y’all saw 399?!? Big fan! Have you seen the documentary?
Yep! It’s pretty cool.
