Image This is my grandson Rowan. I went up to Yellowstone this time hoping to bond more with this little guy who I don't get to see on a regular basis.

ImageI had a friend take a picture of me on the bike when I got back.

Image In this shot, I was trying to show the texture of the hills in the background.

Image This is a river that is not far from the West Yellowstone entrance to the park. In several spots there were people fly fishing in the middle of the river in waders. "Wader, I'll have the trout." :)

Nice pic of you and the grandson!

Not seeing the river pic, but is it the Gallatin River? Great spot if so. We did a Yellowstone road trip a few years ago and camped a few days right on the river about halfway between YNP and Bozeman. My parents and brother came West from NH and my brother spent nearly every waking minute catching and releasing.

Then you drove right past where my daughter lives. They live in Gardiner, Mt. We have canoed parts of the Yellowstone river. Every time we've seen a moose or a few of them.

The last pic has a river in the background. I don't think it is the Gallatin.

Rowan is a fine handsome fellow, Chuey.
The 'wader' pun was appalling - well done, mate.
The third and fourth pics aren't showing here.

The pics were there yesterday. I'll try to fix that tonight. They were the shots of Yellowstone park and were the original intent (actually, I motelled it) of the post.

Mellville, I'm thinking that is the Gibbons river. Just as easily wrong about that, but I couldn't think of it last night but it came to me tonight.

I got the pics back up there. I wonder what happened to the last two?

Nice pics, Chuey...and, along with your RS, that's quite a handsome grandson you have there too!

Thanks for the great pics, Chuey. I haven't been to Montana in a few years. I miss that otherworldly light they have out there. And beargrass.

Beargrass!?! I wasn't smokin' anything but I did have a couple glasses of wine. :)
