We ended up driving up to The Park today. I am officially a geezer, I got my forever geezer national parks pass. Animal viewing is always a crapshoot, but today we rolled a natural seven. First we saw a herd of mountain sheep ewes and lambs visit a small pond where they ate the fresh grass and had a nice drink. Then we saw a marmot doing marmot stuff. Finally we saw a bunch of elk eating and chewing their cud. We drove up the old dirt road and had food at the cafe at the top. I had some white bean chicken chili that was quite good. Drove part way down and got ice cream. I am really tired now due to the hiking, but it was awesome.
Now that I have the forever geezer pass, we are talking about going up to see some of the full moons above the tree line.
