Day 52 October 6, 2014
This Morning we woke up hours before the
sun rose for the day, which happened to be around 3:45 am. Around 4:30am we all
pilled into the vans and took a 2-hour drive towards Lamar Valley, in hope to
see some wolves. We arrived at Lamar Valley way before the sun rose over the
mountains, which was absolutely breathtaking. It was unforgettable to watch all
the colors arise from the horizon and mountain. I will never forget the colors.
Once it was a little bit lighter out we took a drive down a twisty and curvy
road. As we made the journey down this road the many beauties of Yellowstone
showed up. We began to see many colors pull over to the side of the road. So we
did the same in hope to see a wolf. I really didn’t know what as running
through my head except I wanted to see a wolf. As we pulled over we all slowly
got out of the vans and went to the ridge top and waited a while to see some
wolves. We kept looking through Jeff binoculars and they finally emerged from
behind the aspen trees and we got to see wolves. Let’s just say it was well
worth waking up at 3:45 in the morning. Later in the day we also got to see a
Red fox. Tomorrow we pack up our home of 5 days and start the journey to Bear
Lake State Park, for our next journey in becoming outdoor leaders. So I will
leave you this quote…

a sense of the unknown and unknowable, life is flat and barren.”
