Alaska Journey Day 111 / by Dave Hileman

Falls and Food Day

Even colder this morning, under 30 and heavy frost. Sunny and a bit warmer in the afternoon. Good for solar charging on the trailer. We had to run the generator for 3 hours yesterday. Went out before breakfast, saw a bull elk moving along the shore, pretty in the sunlight, some Bufflehead, a loon and an Osprey. Back to the trailer for a cooked breakfast today - French toast, eggs, Canadian bacon and then north to the Canyon area. At the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone we walked the 2 miles South Rim Trail. It was a beautiful day and the views from several points were outstanding. A quick drive on the North Rim and then ice cream at the old lunch counter in Canyon Village. We stopped for a long time on the way back in Hayden Valley to watch for animals, saw elk and bison then to Gull Drive where the sunset did not materialize too well but we saw a coyote. 

Cadillac’s Most Correct Viewpoint

Apparently I ought not to take a day off. Much turmoil about where I was and what I was doing or not doing. It is hard to understand because everyone loves me - they will all vote for me, right? Well, to keep everyone content, I will campaign today and tomorrow, speeches, baby licking and seeking campaign coordinators for some other states. (Still cannot imagine there are 50?)
