Yellowstone

930AM

              Today is our down day ­ - slow down, relax and take our time. We walked down the street and went to the Bear & Wolf Discovery Center.  This center had rescue bears, wolves, eagles and hawks.  We were able to see the bears    at feeding times.  They hid fruit/berries and the bears would have to locate it throughout their habitat.

 

 

              In the afternoon, we took a motorcycle drive to Earthquake Lake.   Earthquake Lake was created by an earthquake back in 1959.  A part of the mountain broke off and slid down the mountain and made a river into a lake.   Well, there was a campground and home s located along the lake that were destroyed and 28 people were killed.   A sad story and it  happened in a matter of seconds.

                         
We then took a short spin into Yellowstone and  was able to capture one last picture (a close up of an elk).

 

               We then went back to our motor home for dinner and then a stroll in to town – one last ice cream cone!  We polished off  the night with  games of dice and then prepare for our departure from Yellowstone tomorrow.
