Got into the park before noon and got a campsite for two nights (even though I only stayed one) at the Bridge Bay campground, located on the Yellowstone lake. I set up camp, in the light, and set off sight seeing. Yellowstone is setup on a figure eight design. With about 9 hrs of light available I covered the northern loop. I went to the upper and lower falls and saw Mammoth Hot Springs. Saw great scenery and got some close up views of a BIG bull bison and a large elk with an awesome rack, still fur covered. The first bull bison I saw was heading for the road and I stopped well short of him. I have heard of them attacking motorcycles!! I found at the various stops that if something was over 2/10-3/10 of a mile that I didn't feel like walking it. So I would check out the closer items and then move on. I also saw the mud volcanos and the Dragons Cave.
Had a cold sandwich for dinner with a coke. Had a headache all day so took some aspering and an imitrex and was asleep before dark. Had a heavy but short rain that night.
I actually covered most of the park today so I may leave tommorow even though I paid for two days.
