Rick woke up before 6 am unhooked the camper and drove out of
the campgrounds. I was awake but the
kids were all asleep. He got about 3
miles and screamed ‘BEARS!’ There were
three grizzlies out the drivers side on a little hill between some trees,
digging at the ground and eating stuff.
A mom and a teenager and a smaller one but not real small. WOW the two younger ones walked in front of
our camper and looked at us, it was amazing.
After that the day seemed a little boring..We drove back North towards Lamar Valley since it was still early and there are supposed to be wolves up there. Well it took 2 hours to get there since we had to take the scary road again and you just can't drive fast around Yellowstone. No wolves but we saw some more black bears. Then off to Mammoth Springs since we didn't really see it the day before and we had a chuckwagon dinner about 20 miles from there that afternoon. We pretty much drug Lauren around Mammoth Springs as she spent the whole time saying her legs hurt, they were tired and she wasn't going to walk. This is us all staring at her...
The chuckwagon dinner was fun, we rode out there in wagons to the dinner site and the best part was the kids got to sit in the front seat with the driver. There was also a guide in the wagon that explained things on the 45 minute ride. When we got to the spot they had a ton of food prepared. Though the kids didn't really eat as they were more interested in playing with the other kids in this little muddy creek that was nearby. The 'cowboys' sang some songs and told some stories. We drank some cowboy coffee or tried to - supposedly it is equal parts coffee and water, tasted like it or maybe it had some rust in it.
