Wild Elk in Yellowstone

I am really enjoying photographing the wildlife in the Park. As we drive along, we will see a traffice jam up ahead. The traffice jam means that people have stopped to view and photograph wildlife. I usually jump out of the (moving) car with my cameras, leaving Norm to find a spot to pull off and park. It was such a pleasure to see this herd of elk in the Madison River, and see the behaviour of the females protecting the two young ones. They kept the two juveniles in the middle of the herd as they walked along in the river. Anne

Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

On Friday we drove to the area known as the "Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone" and toured the North Rim and South Rim.
The first photo is the spectactular view from about 8000 feet at "Lookout Point" The second photo was taken by Norm from 500 feet below at Red Rock Point. (Hey, there wasn't an elevator here!)

Yellowstone Grizzly RV Park

Here is "Carpe Diem on Wheels" at the Yellowstone Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone, Montana. We are staying here for a week and think this is the best RV park we have been in so far. We are right at the west entrance to Yellowstone and Norm enjoys walking in the wooded area right behind the coach.

Our Cat "Sharkie"

I have received e-mails inquiring how our cat Sharkie, (aka “Shark Bait”) has adapted to Motor Home life. I’m happy to report that she has settled in very well. The first week she was a little mad at us, (see the second photo and her “snubbing us”) but now she even rides in my lap as we travel along. Anne

Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Hills of South Dakota

Next, we toured the world’s largest mountain carving, the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear invited Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski to crave Crazy Horse, and this colossal carving was begun on June 3, 1948. My first two pictures show the mountain carving in progress, on which the 87 foot high face of Crazy Horse has been completed. The memorial will stand 563 feet high when it is finished. My third photo shows the scale model used for the craving with the mountain in the distance a mile away. The scale model is at the Visitors Center. The other two photos were also taken from the Visitors Center which houses the Indian Museum of North America. We enjoyed seeing the rare artifacts and beautiful works of art and learning more about the Native Americans. Anne

Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota

After traveling 2,656 miles from Delray Beach, Fl, we made it to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. One of our goals on this trip was to tour this National Memorial and see the four great U.S presidents carved into the mountain. It was a breathing-taking view as we walked through the Avenue of Flags to the Grand View Terrace. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum began carving this great memorial to our nation's foundation and growth in 1927 and the colossal carving was finished in 1941. We also enjoyed attending the evening lighting program held in the park's amphitheater. Can I sing a verse of "America The Beautiful" now? (just kidding-Anne)

Oskosh - War Birds

Oshkosh (by gosh)

Still in Wisconsin, it's on to Oskosh to the EAA fly in. There were 10,000 airplanes and 700,000 people for the week of the fly in. Many many motorhomes in a big camping area, all well organized. So much to do, highlights were, the historic warbirds, air shows and the Beach Boys gave a great concert. Anne took many, many pictures and here are three.
