Yee-Haw! Howdy from Wyoming, Part II

Just checking in again from our family trip out west where this suburban slicker continues to have an incredible time exploring this breathtaking part of the country. It’s been a whirlwind of getting back-to-nature activities including a visit to see Old Faithful erupt in Yellowstone National Park, flyfishing on the Snake River, paragliding (yup, that’s right, I took the plunge and jumped off a mountain!), and lots of getting up close and personal with wildlife. Some of my favorite sightings? A black bear and its cub, and this bison (that's a buffalo to you and me), just hanging out by the side of the road in Yellowstone.

Isn't he a cutie?

Just a PS to acknowledge and thank the wonderful staff at the Snake River Lodge. Mandy (one of the managers) and Erin (at the concierge desk) could not have been more helpful in making our visit one we will not forget.

Oh those bison are cute. Just don't let them lick you. They've got tongues that go on for days and saliva like rubber cement. (It's a dirty trick, taking a bus-load of fifth graders to a nature preserve and asking who wants to feed the buffalo.)
