I'm back from my grand daughters band camp in Red Lodge, MT. That's a two and a half days drive for me at my age. Shucks, it takes 8 hours to get across Oregon. Going I was in a toot, so didn't take many pictures, but coming home I took my time and took some pictures. From Red Lodge I crossed Bear Tooth Pass, entered Yellowstone Park at the north east entrance, then drove across the park to West Yellowstone. It was worth the extra time to go that way, the weather was gorgeous, and the scenery worth a million dollars. Bear Tooth pass is over 9000 feet, and my 79 year old flat lander heart struggled a bit, but it all worked out.

Rock Marmont.jpg Out here this critter is called a "rock marmot, or rock chuck." Probably related to a wood chuck. I was taking a picture of the lakes, and I think he came up to see if I had anything for him to eat.

The first pic and the Lakes pic are my favorites! :thumbsup:

Yes, understand well about how the Flatlander heart does in higher elevations. The wife is deathly afraid to ever see the Rockies....that is, unless we go to the flat and level section of it. :laughing7:

Looks beautiful. I think I drove down that way once or twice? Does the road pass by an area of rock falls that was caused by the last major earthquake to hit the Yellowstone region? I do remember stopping to observe all that. I'm pretty sure the road took me into West Yellowstone? I'm glad you took the scenic route back to OR., definitely worth it I'm thinking? Great shot of the Marmot.

Beautiful pictures! I think I would never get anywhere because I would be stopping to take pictures at every opportunity to pull off the road.

You just gave me an idea for a name of a new product.

Hope you had a good time there in Red Lodge.
It is quite a fun area to visit. Being so near, I guess a person can take it for granted to visit the area since you live so close. Looks like the snow has melted quite a bit.

Just a little clarification folks - AARC wants "aluminum" tabs. So if you happen to have any sort of laying around, it'd really make his day if you could just sort of 'dump' then at his place. :laughing7:


....Hey, whaddya expect? I just woke up! :tongue3:
