Here are a few (well, a lot) of photos from our trip out west this summer. I had to break this post down into two parts because there are so many great images and since my hubby doesn't have a Facebook page, he'd like to use my blogsite to show our friends and family! I was so proud of myself to have only taken film cameras to Wyoming, although I occasionally used my fancy new iphone for any digital images I wanted to take. I took my Canon 1V, Lomo and my Holga.  
 
For the first part of the trip, Steph and I camped out in Yellowstone National Park. We got up really early on the first day and secured a beautiful campsite overlooking Slough Creek. We can set up our campsite in 10 minutes...we have it down to a science! We spent a few days hiking, touring the park and relaxing. It was SO great to get off the grid for a bit.

Here I am testing out my new Osprey water bladder - works like a dream and I'm kind of in love with it!

Slough Creek was our home for several nights...where all of the buffalo roam...I'm actually not kidding. The guy who had our campsite the nights before us said a bison walked right by his tent in the middle of the night...holy wow!

Here's our tent on the creek, it was so soothing to fall asleep to the sound of a creek every night.

A delicious dinner and don't you love my Jet Boil coffee press that I used as a vase?

I was so happy Steph was able to relax and get away from it all. As a financial advisor, it's really hard to not constantly have anxiety since the market is ALWAYS open! We weren't able to get cell service for most of the trip, which really forced us to focus on what was right in front of us: nature.

Here's Steph chilling-out, maxing, relaxing all cool, shooting some b-ball outside of the school (sorry, couldn't help myself).

I LOVE BISON!!! These guys were everywhere. It became our nightly ritual to go watch the sunset and look for wildlife every night. By the end of the trip, we were used to getting caught in a Bison jam.

Love these guys and I could so see this enlarged on our wall!

My trainer Catherine would be proud that I actually did workout. It's a little hard to breathe because of the elevation though!

We ran into this couple who were biking across the country! Aren't they cute? I loved observing the people who visit the park - I took pictures of a cute old couple and a few children who were dressed as little rangers.

Here's the guy's bike - he had a tiny bag of clothes and that's it!!! How awesome!

Here's Steph waiting for the wolves to emerge - we saw two of them in the park near our campsite, it was crazy!

We took a dip in the Boiling River, where a hot spring mixes with the freezing cold river and it's like a little hot tub along the rivers edge. It was so refreshing and relaxing.

Steph and his binocs again.

One last bison image....I love them so.
