Red Lodge trip

Joan and Sandy came out for a visit - we took a trip to Red Lodge for several days. On the way there we drove through Yellowstone national park (didnt see any critters), and then on the beartooth highway. This is a stop at a water fall and old bridge.

Red Lodge is overrun by turkeys (not just tourists), here are a few we saw in town

The group did a hike up the West Fork Rock Creek - started out threatening rain, but turned into a nice day.

Ma spotted this moose on our way to the hike, but we couldnt get a good picture of him. After me and Sandy did a second hike we saw him with his two girls - he was trying to get fresh with one of them and we saw him chase her around for a bit before he gave up - you can see the frustration in his eyes.

Ma has decided to take up a new hobby in addition to quilting - a local hotel held the first meeting of the Hells Angels quilting club.
