Back to Yellowstone Valley Inn 6-20-2010

On the way out of the park, we backtracked the same route and stopped at a couple of the turnouts beside Yellowstone Lake. The individual storm clouds were still over the lake and beyond in the hills. I took some video and Ernie took photos. Throughout the ride in the park we did not see any wildlife except for some pelicans, ducks and the Marmot. Oh yes, we did find the egress. In the valley we passed by some steep slopes of patchy grasses and shrubs. Kay startled us by crying out, "Oh my God, something's up there". I was driving and the animals were on the right side of the road. Not wanting to miss the sight I turned into a parking lot and went back. When the others directed me to the right area we could all see them. Three Mountain Goats,(Oops, they are Big Horn Sheep), two females and a baby. As we sat the baby seemed to be nursing from its mother, real cute. I took video and Ernie and Donna took photos again. After about 3 minutes we got back in the van and returned to the Inn and RV Park.
