September 23, 2010We're leaving the Yellowstone area today and have decided to go south-ish rather than back up through Montana and S. Dakota. We plan a couple of days without internet, so if you need to get in touch with us, phone will be best, or send an e-mail and we'll get back to you when we are on-line. This could actually be later today, but since we have NO PLANS, we can't say for sure.
We saw one or two of these painted bison in Great Falls and didn't take any photos...one was inside the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center and the lighting was terrible. Now, in West Yellowstone we found quite a herd, scattered all over town.
I can't find anything on-line about these, but it looks similar to the thing that Chicago did a few years ago with cows. I did find a link to an article from the Bozeman (MT) newspaper from 2007 mentioning that West Yellowstone would be home to painted bison. My computer said that link was "unverified" so I didn't read it and am not linking to it.
In any case, we've enjoyed the area around Yellowstone and our time in the park. There are things we didn't see and places we didn't go, so it looks as if we'll be back!
