Geez. I've touched down on five continents not knowing the most beautiful spot on earth is in one's backyard!

The most masterful colorist? Bacteria:

Okay. Here's obligatory shot of Old Faithful--you should now know where I went!

No wonder I was happy to toast the occasion with an Elk [Cove] pinot noir (albeit from Oregon), naturally next to to some Moose butter

followed by some 1950 Graham's with, yep, Bison chocolates!

Yes--Yellowstone proved government can work!  HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting the world's first national park -- I saw herds (herds!) of bison and elk!  Didn't see the wolves I was reading about, but I  knew they saw me ....

HAVE [G]O[N]E, AM HERE...!
