Yellowstone Hot Springs RV Park, Corwin Springs, MT

More bears.

I got a late start this morning and didn't see much until after lunch. I was driving just west of the confluence of Soda Butte Creek and the Lamar River when I saw a huge bunch of cars. They wee parking all over because of a grizzly and her cub fairly close to the road:

  Friday, May 21,2021 Yellowstone Hot Springs RV Park, Corwin Springs, MT Snow! The weather forecast was right – I woke to a light dusting of snow on the truck – all on the north side where the wind was coming from. It was cold – 34F. Out to Slough Creek and watched wolves for a bit, but the wind and cold drove them into the den early. I have been catching mice. I caught 4 yesterday and last night, using up my supply of traps. So I went in search of more. Once again, I ended up in Bozeman and bought 8. The last of my previous supply is still set, so that may be the end of it. No pictures – I spent the rest of the day in the camper and getting a shower at the campground shower. It's 5:00 pm now and the wind is still blowing and a light snow is falling. It's supposed to start warming and clearing tomorrow.

  Sunday, May 23,2021 Yellowstone Hot Springs RV Park, Corwin Springs, MT Rain! It's cold and rainy as I write this. I went out this morning, but the rain and snow obscured things so much, you couldn't see anything. So I came back to camp, had a hot lunch and a nap. Now I'm going to go into Gardiner and post the last few days, come back and have a hot shower, a hot dinner, and another nap. Tomorrow is my last day here, so unless I get some spectacular story or picture, this will be the last post for this trip. I expect to get home on Wednesday.

 Tuesday, May 18,2021 Yellowstone Hot Springs RV Park, Corwin Springs, MT Moving day. I used up all the time allowed in the National Forest campground, so I've moved to this RV park. It's very new, so I was able to reserve a week's stay with just a week's notice. I'll be here until the 25th and then I'll start home. That took all morning, so I just spent the afternoon in the park. The big excitement was a pair of courting black bears walking near the road between the Specimen trailhead and the Yellowstone picnic area. One of them came down to the road right in front of me and then turned back
