West Yellowstone MT

Hi All,

We all slept in this morning, some slept further in than others🙀. We spent the day touring around West Yellowstone, the town just west of the park. Here the Florida Greenbaums check out a carved eagle.


We spent a lot of time at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center.

We arrived in time for a naturalist presentation and feeding.

Adjacent to the wolf enclosure is a small Uinta Ground Squirrel community.

The Center has about nine grizzlies that are on exhibit two or three at a time.

The enclosure has many enrichment items to keep the bears sharp. One item is a locked cooler with food inside.

The Center is the Test site for the Interagency Grizzly Bear Group. If a cooler (or dumpster or trash can) survives 60-90 minutes of bear attention, it is considered "bear resistant".

Not all coolers make the grade!
The Center also has very informative exhibits.

While shopping around town, Carl engaged in his hobby of noting funny or poignant signs. Two standouts for today were the bear drawing that said,"Be alert-Out here not all organ donations are voluntary". 

This pillow was the best

Tomorrow we move to Gardner, MT for more exploring.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
