WEBELOS Over Nighter

This is the second weekend in a row spent doing scout activities... I guess it keeps me out of trouble.


Bob 'Whoompa' Roberts teaches the boys first aid. He is the Safety Specialist for Smoky Canyon. He is also highly envolved with the Lincoln County Search and Rescue and the Afton Volunteer Fire Department. You may also remember Whoompa from an earlier post. I went on a 10 day pack trip with him and others into the Yellowstone! Whoompa did a great job with the first aid.

Yellowstone Adventure

I am back!

I have spent the last 10 days on an adventure of sorts. Myself and five others went on a pack trip into the Wyoming wilderness. We left from Turpin Meadows, North of Jackson, and packed 28 miles to Hawks Rest, near Bridger Lake, just South of Yellowstone National Park. Our camp was on the Yellowstone River. We took 6 horses and 6 mules. We went to hunt. I had licenses for elk, deer, and black bear.

Taking a Break

This photo was taken near the half way point to our camp. This is near the continental divide, at Two Ocean Pass. This picture is on Pacific Creek. Atlantic Creek is just over the divide. Read here why Two Ocean Pass is so unique!

Animals Enjoying a Rest

Falcon Creek is in the background. Falcon Creek is where we did most of our hunting. On the right side (north) of the canyon is in Yellowstone National Park. The left side (south) is where we hunted.

Spotting animals from camp. We saw many elk within the park boundaries. Not many out of the park. Smart are they not?

A Bull Moose Wonders By Camp

This moose is on the banks of the Yellowstone River. I took the photo from our tent.
