Travels: STILL on the road (Day 5)

  We are still on the road (as you can probably tell from the title of this post). We are in Salt Lake City, UT. Paul wanted to come here after having stayed in SLC for a few days on a business trip. Tonight we are going to Red Iguana a pretty well-known Mexican restaurant that is the "best thing ever."
   I wanted to post some pics of our trip so far. I thought I should break up the trip into different blog entries since we are going so many places. Enjoy!
Our camp grounds in Custer, SD!


Awesome pie here in the city of Custer. We went 2 nights in a row!

Mt. Rushmore

Entering Yellowstone!


Our adorable cabin!

At the hot springs.



Momma bear and cubs right beside road!


Geysers

Fountain Paint Pots.

Old Faithful.


Just-born baby elk!

Bison.
    The best part about this trip is that we have no agenda. We decided in the car today that we wanted to visit Salt Lake. We are enjoying having the freedom to travel leisurely to Redding. A highlight of the Yellowstone trip was seeing a wild elk momma give birth to a baby- we saw it with our own eyes! We were right across the road from her as she was lying in a grove of trees. A ranger told us that the elk were starting to give birth closer to the camps because the bears were less likely to get the babies. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
