This is the top of the Lower Falls. They didn't know where to go so they wound up at the overlook at the top of the falls rather than the overlook where they could see the falls. They really needed my help.

Well today’s report is about same as yesterday’s. Sasha and I were relegated to staying in the RV all day while Marsha and Larry went out and had a great day looking around Yellowstone. Their mission was to see Tower, Upper and Lower falls. Without my supervision they didn’t have a chance of making it and they didn’t.

Larry said by the time they got to Upper falls time was running out. He didn’t seem to know why, but after reviewing all of the pictures, I can tell you they spent most of the time lolly-gagging and rubber-necking on the great scenery on the eastern side of Yellowstone. If you stop at every place that looks pretty in Yellowstone it will take you a week to get anywhere and that is about what they did.

Marsha told me that on the way back they stopped by the Yellowstone Museum and by chance it was about the time they take down the flag. They have a tradition here that they always ask two visiting veterans to take down the flag and Larry got “drafted.” Marsha thought it was so cool.

Sasha and Cooper really have a thing going now. Every time we get to go for a walk, Sasha heads for the door of Cooper’s RV. I heard Larry talking to Cooper’s humans and they said every time they take Cooper for a walk, Cooper heads for the door on our RV. Puppy love – its worse than all that Twilight stuff up in Forks.

Sasha doesn’t know it yet but her “date” with Cooper was the last time she will see him. Tomorrow we are on the road headed east. Larry said something about going to visit Gary Owen. Who the heck is Gary Owen?
