We had a beautiful sunny day for our drive out the Northeast entrance of the park into Montana, through Chief Joseph Pass to Cody, Wyoming and back in through the East entrance. We saw lots of wildlife (bison, bear, fox, antelope, elk, deer and a black wolf), but none was as cool and up close as the following video.

This felt VERY close - Bob could have reached out his arm and touched him.
They are such massive animals!

This little fox walked along the side of the road right next to the window of our truck - no zoom needed.

Our drive went over several passes and the views were just incredible!












 


















   


We have seen SO much beauty and such amazing animals.

We have two more days of work and then we will be heading South. 

Yellowstone has been a fantastic experience - no regrets!


We will miss this view -- we saw it daily on our drive over Fishing Bridge on our way to work

 On May 1st 2025 ... the ADVENTURE began!  We pulled out of our driveway with the camper packed with everything we will need for the next 3 months (hopefully). Our goal is Yellowstone National Park by May 17th where we will begin our two month seasonal job at Fishing Bridge General Store. But first, we had a few important visits to make: Santa Cruz, CA to visit our son Brock and his wife Heather and Vancouver, WA to see our son TJ, his wife Emily and our granddaughter Riley June.  We have learned flexibility is an important component on every trip and within hours of leaving we got a phone call that our son Brock, was not feeling well (fever, bronchitis) so we delayed our arrival time by a few days and detoured through Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. It was a tough detour! First Night - Lake Isabella - beautiful & quiet Yosemite This was our "church" Sunday morning - holy Such a massive wall - hard to get a photo perspective We finally arrived in Santa Cruz and ...

 Some of you have asked about our work - what we do, how many hours we work, if we find it difficult - so here goes. We work for Delaware North at the Fishing Bridge General Store, which is located pretty much in the middle of Yellowstone National Park. Our store is quite large and has LOTS of t-shirts, sweatshirts, all kinds of souvenirs, a camping section, a small grocery store and a fountain/grill (food & ice cream).  I work as a stocker in the apparel/gifts area which means I take note of things that are missing and I find them in the storage areas and replace or restock them. It's not difficult and doesn't take a lot of brain power, but it is quite challenging physically. All of the apparel storage is located upstairs and all of the extra gifts/souvenirs are stored in the basement, so any time I need to get more stock I have to walk up and/or down a flight of stairs. The store is VERY busy so for example, once I have inventoried and fully stocked all 25 racks of t-shi...
