Yellowstone Front Trip
Sept 3-14, 1977
WooDy & I took off driving at 7am Sept. 3,
and reached Innis Falls, Idaho, that evening.
Saw two Coyotes in a grassy pasture near
Elko but otherwise no wildlife. Ate Phyllis'
fried chicken in the motel room for supper.
Sept. 4
Stopped at Craters of the Moon National Mon.
to look around and chat with the Park Service
personnel. Very neat Visitor Center. Near there
we surprised a golden eagle eating a dead
collared lizard on the highway.
At Island Falls we had a visit with Will
Godfrey and set up our return visit for some
fishing Sept. 12 & 13. Will has a meat shop
just across the highway from Henry's Fork.
On my trip near Henry's Lake we saw
a dozen or so antelope on the south side
of the road and a flock of sandhill cranes
in a meadow on the north side.
Arrived at Mammoth Springs in the Park
mid-afternoon. Registered & pick and picked
up the key to our apartments at Visitor
Center. Leisurely dinner and early to bed.
