This place just oozes with love...
After breakfast, we did some shopping and than Sean and Steve went fishing on Lake Yellowstone by the marina.
We decided to rent a rowboat instead of a powerboat (cheaper). This is the only shot of Sean you'll see rowing. It lasted about 2 minutes and we went nowhere. But at least he gave it a valiant effort....
Since Steve was the picture taker and rower, you won't see any shots of that....but here is some proof of Steve's rowing experience – ouch!
We were advised by the ranger at the visitior's center that fishing was not very good at the moment. It was too “high” for fishing – not really sure what that means just yet. When we arrived at the marina, the ranger there said we could go fishing and that there are typically two (2) main types of trout being caught - the good ones and the bad ones. The good ones are the Cutthroat. The bad ones are the Lake. The reason the Lake Trout are bad is that they are very aggressive and eat the cutthroat so the park wants you to kill all Lake Trout. We were also advised that a Lake Trout is more than likely what we would catch if anything. Unless of course you are the mighty fisherman – Sean Murray.....
...a 16” Cutthroat. Just as we were about to head in, Sean landed this trout in true angler fashion. We were both beaming from ear to ear for the rest of the day. Yeehaaa!!!
It was now time for everyone to get ready for the big Chuckwagon Dinner. During our ride to Roosevelt Lodge, we wound up in a traffic jam. Just your typical herd of mountain goats blocking traffic on our way to dinner...
Another awesome animal shot by Jackie. She may be the next National Geographic photographer of the year with shots like these...
After the moutain goats finally left, we were off to our Chuckwagon dinner. This was a funtime had by all. Sean, Sarah and Steve went by horseback (1hour) to the cookout site while Shannon and Jackie rode the chuckwagon out to the site. We saw a coyote and badger either playing or fighting with each other – not really sure what they were doing. What an experience it was...
The food was fantastic – steak cooked to perfection and some awesome side dishes....yummy
over 200 people waiting in the chow line. The night was perfect complete with a campfire...
...entertainment (Cowboy Bill)
...and some new friends
Just an awesome time.
We than moseyed on back ….
...and headed for some much needed rest. Tomorrow is our last day here :-(
