June 9 - Day 5...So...have you ever been delayed in traffic due to buffalo? Me neither! Today was a first for me. Around 80 to 100 head arranged about an hour delay as they showed who's 'king' in Yellowstone. I didn't think of video until afterwards.
The day began with church service provided by a
National Park Christian group. The young college folk...Josh, Josiah, Briana and Nathan did a fine job. Josh gave a message from Psalm 139, with focus on God's purpose in and through our lives, giving a fine example of his own life. A boy born in Korean with a cleft palate, adopted into a family from America in whose home town resided the world's most well known hospital for cleft palate repair. I see God's precious hands in these young people's lives.

Buffalo Traffic Jam - Gotta Love It
From the service (and once past the buffalo city) I continued my venture through this absolutely magnificent park. I now see why people spend an entire vacation here. Todays sites included 'The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone'...surely a competion for beauty rights with its sister in Arizona. Definite must see! Then the 'Lamar' valley, with well over 300 head of buffalo roaming its lush terrain and a breath taking mountain backdrop. From here I enjoyed an hour 'listening' time in Soda Butte valley before exiting the park, gabbing a bite to eat at the 'Bearclaw' Cafe and concluding my day at 'Crazy Creek campground. And it is! It's here that 'Silver Spur' and 'Gear Up' Gary Callahan is camp host. Gary and I rode back to Cooke City, Montana for strawberry milkshakes and watched as my hopeful College World Series bound Oregon State Beavers were roughing up Kansas State in game two of their series. A win tomorrow and they're in! Got tickets to watch a couple CWS games a week from Monday. Yeah baby!
