Some pictures from our 2017 USA Road Trip ... part 4

Last in the series (part 1, part 2 and part 3), going from Yellowstone through Boise to the Olympic Peninsula and achieving a bucket list item. This ended the trip, the USA is a beautiful country. We look forward to returning in 2018.

Bison holding up the traffic coming in from the west entrance ... @Sea2Ski the tailback was about 2 miles long moving at 5mph because everyone wants to see the Bison, we were heading out though. :)


Bears and wolf at the discovery centre in West Yellowstone:


The really long bridge into Washington state:


Some pictures of the west coast in the Olympic Peninsula. It looks like the gods had thrown down large tree trunks like they were matchsticks. It was so bleak and yet beautiful at the same time:










The Hoh rain forest, lush and green:






And to end it ... whales ... SWMBO took around 500 shots of these beautiful creatures and I got some video.






Thanks for looking.

    Cheers, it's the eye of SWMBO ... I'll pass this on. I've enjoyed putting them up, kinda reliving the journey. :)

    I'm used to being let down by my team but, we have a strong line on both sides of the ball. You all have good qb and receivers.  

    Our offense should be clicking well this year- so we should put up some decent points. 

    My concerns are we have bad coverage LB and young (but talented) backfield. I would expect to see your qb throw a lot a lot of screens, slants, etc- getting the ball out quickly. 

    I think we win this one but you never know- especially this early in the season. 

    Sorry for the hijack :)

    Thank you so much for sharing these pictures!  I just went through all parts and was amazed and brought back so many memories of my trip to Yellowstone.  Great pictures everywhere though and really enjoyed looking.
