Day 7

Today we had planned to go into Yellowstone and go to Norris Springs and Canyon Falls, however, we got about 7 miles inside the park and were met by park rangers. They were hazing the bison today which means they were trying to move them from the outer boundaries of the park to more central areas. They were using a helicopter to scare the bison in the direction they wanted them to go. We were told it would be a 2-3 hour wait before we could go by so we decided today would be a good day to clean house and do laundry!
You can just see the buffalo in this picture as they are going down the hill toward the road. There were hundreds of them moving around. We plan to see Norris and Canyon tomorrow and will hopefully get through the road before they start moving the bison around again. The weather was a little better today but there are snowflakes just starting to fall.
