USA Storm Chasing Expedition - 3rd - 5th June 2011
It's about time I took
a break from storms.
Actually, there were no
storms... Welcome to the "High Plains"
Where am I going?
Through the mountains
on Colorado HWY14
This looks like fun.
Great driving.
Through the mountain.
Around the bends.
Through the trees.
Into the snow....
Oh.
I see snow.
Beautiful.
What is this...?
It is a VERY HARD 6" Snowball.
Let's test the window
protector... Hey it works!
Back on the road.
Amazing place Colorado.
Spectacular scenery.
WOW!.
Welcome to Wyoming..
That's state no..... Ummm... I have actually lost count.. it's 23 or
something.
On Interstate I80
heading to Yellowstone National Park.
These are very quick
back roads.
Down the hill.
Up the hill.
Entering the edges of
Grand Teton National Park.
It's a National Park,
south of Yellowstone.
It makes for great
driving.
Almost there.
One last hill.
Welcome to Grand Teton
National Park.
Spectacular.
Nice.
Now in Yellowstone.
Making my way to the
southern loop.
Some roads are still
closed by snow storms... and it's summer!
Waterfall in the
distance.
Time to see some
wildlife.
Anything alive in here?
Anything.?
Oh.. ok.. I see an Elk.
You do NOT want to have
a bath in here.. you WILL be broiled.
Boiling..
A baby volcano thing
sticking out of the water.
Lots of steam coming
off this boiling lake.
They are really quite
creepy.
Want to go for a swim?
A mother Elk telling me
to get lost... I did.
Heading back to the
car.... Kind of...
Lake is still frozen.
The 4WD seems more at
home here
What is this we all
see?
People waiting for the
Bear to hunt the Elk.
A bison, doing its
usual traffic stopping thing.
Another Elk. (Almost
road kill)
Umm... Ok... you go
first..
Baby bison.
Cute.
Very cute... (Until
they grow up)
Another Bison.. I give
way of course.
Exiting Yellowstone...
Magnificent!
