Celebrating 100 years of the National Park Service with a visit to Yellowstone

Our party of Happy Wanderers headed to Yellowstone Park to spend the night. We were able to stay and dine at the Old Faithful Inn properties. Yellowstone is always a treat but this time we had a few surprises like an American Badger sighting, A beautiful Great Grey Owl, a real prize and a few of our old favorites. We were able to enjoy 5 displays by Old Faithful and a lovely evening in the Inn over drinks and after dinner music. Carl and I even attempted our hand at Astro-photography and got a few reasonable shots of the Milky Way. Here's some highlights from our two days.
