We had our last day off on Wednesday the 14th and decided to drive around the lower loop one last time. We saw a bunch of bison and one male elk. We were able to get a picture that shows just how stupid some of the people that visit Yellowstone are. Fortunately, the rut was over, so the guy in the photo did not get attacked by the elk.

 

We also stopped at a turnout just north of the campground and climbed down the hill to the bank of the Gibbon River. With water levels at their lowest for the year, you can see the results of thousands of years of erosion on a rock in the middle of a river.

I also made a panorama of the river.

 

We left Yellowstone for the season Tuesday, October 20th. We only went about 130 miles and decided to stop in Declo, a place we've stayed a couple of other times. Penny was able to get a few photos of the sunset, looking across the Snake River.

 

We will be heading towards eastern Oregon today and will stay at Farewell Bend State Park for a couple of nights.
