Good trip Craig,enjoyed your TR, brought back lot's of nice memories! Wish I was with you-looks like Riley had fun (Bob Says Hi). Nice country, as soon as my back is good again will be out there, have to go easy for now. Did I miss something or did you hit the same post three times ; maybe that's why i'm a non-blogger(not smart enough to even try to guess ), ?

Smoke

Still learning how it works. Figuring out the layout and all. Not sure why its doing newest first. I clicked the button to switch it.

Btw, saw at least a half dozen campers on the road. Gave one tour and had another inquiry. Nice being able to ignore the "not recommended for rv and trailers" signs.

I'm hooked on the blogger too. Makes it much easier to upload photos than using photobucket.

Enjoyed reading your Trip Report! Do you know when that wildfire was?

 

[craig333]

Would have been on Friday. Never saw or smelled smoke and the road wasn't closed long so I imagine it didn't amount to much.

Felt like home reading your trip story. Thanks for letting us tag along.

Welcome to blogger! I enjoyed your report. I want to get back to GBNP one of these days.

Good job, Craig. Glad you and the dog got an outing to GBNP, which is still on our bucket list.

 

[Wandering Sagebrush]

Craig, looks like you had a nice time! Thanks for sharing!

Nice TR Craig. GBNP looks just like I remember it. Thanks for the pics and nice story.

Ran across this vid from 1971. Maybe the parts they don't let us visit are because of water? Or are the pools just seasonal? Also found some info that state the lexington arch may not even be an arch but is actually a bridge. I find it interesting the scientists don't know for sure.

I'd love an explanation of why the Park doesn't have bears. Seems like suitable habitat.

Hmmm, now I read there are no bears in the entirety of the Great Basin? Thats going to require some more research, tomorrow.

 

[craig333]

Found some very interesting maps on bear habitat in NV. Appears that they don't exist in the Great Basin is largely, if not completely true. I'd never have guessed it. Even the historical range is pretty spotty.
