Enjoyed your pictures and always love to hear about people's trips to Yellowstone. We've spent about 30 days in the park this summer since we live so close and are retired. Unfortunately, this past week we forgot the camera. We spent 4 nights at Pebble Creek and then went to the Mammoth campground for 2 nights to enjoy the elk. The bulls were majestic. Yesterday morning there were over a dozen cow elk in the camground with two bull elk across the road bugling. And no camera! I thought it would be our last trip into the park for the season but the weather forecast for the next several days is great.
Your "close up" with the fox make me think to a book, that you know probably, "The little Prince" (le petit prince) from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
The match between the Little Prince and the Fox , the little Prince say : "Who are you ? " I'm a Fox" say the Fox and he add " Please tame me" "What mean to tame " ask the Little Prince, "It's a forgotten things" say the Fox.......
Hope that A. de Saint-Exupéry will forgive me for this bad and unpoetics translation ...

Thank you for taking the time and effort to post these pictures and comments.
Laughed out loud at the "Brown something coming down the trail" Great description! All of your photos were outstanding(there are some very talented folks here on this forum) but the pictures of the fox stole the show.
Again, thanks.. Bob

Thanks for the reminder. He(?) really did appear to be more tame than wild, especially when he disappeared around the bend then came back and waited for me.
Oh and GoinThisAway, don't even want to think about the miles/fish. With scenery like this, didn't care. As they say 'Trout don't live in ugly places.' Not sure how many more I could've caught if I hadn't been staring off somewhere when I heard the slurp of a fish taking the fly with me then being about 3 seconds too late to set the hook.
For someone that loves Yellowstone as much as I do, you captured such a wonderful part of it that more should see. Thanks for the wonderful photos, commentary and bringing us along on your adventure. Please share more.

I couldn't agree more. While there are certainly things to see in the rest of the park like falls, geysers, hot springs and other signs of volcanism, the natural beauty of the northeast corner I'm afraid is something many people don't see just because it doesn't have a specific attraction for people to set as a destination and isn't part of the "Grand Loop".
Since you asked...
Here's a few more from the first meadow of Slough Creek.
Approaching another buffalo jam on the road from the Slough Creek campground/trail head to the Northeast Entrance Road.
Thought I'd do a crop instead of a scale of a selected fox image.
Not sure if all those grey hairs are a sign of age or just the natural coloring. Anybody know?
Appreciate the comments from everyone. Glad you enjoyed the post.

Good show, Dan.
It's interesting to see others' perspectives in a travelog. You had a lot more fauna than flora in your piece, which is usually the other way. I'm glad you got to see Yellowstone again, BEFORE IT BLOWS!
regards, as always, jefe
