Meet the Neighbors

That girl and I drove to Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone Park yesterday.  We braved a half-assed snowstorm to get here.  A half-assed snowstorm (for those unfamiliar) is one where snow fills the air and reduces visibility dramatically; but the snowflakes melt the instant they strike the ground—something like ghosts passing right through a wall.

I am teaching a digital multimeter class for park employees at a shop facility here in the park today.

We saw hundreds of elk scattered across landscape as we drove the final twisting miles to reach our destination.   Upon our arrival at Mammoth, a few of the neighborhood elk came out to meet us.  Posted today are two photographs I captured of elk just outside the Electric Shop at Mammoth.
