Getting Accustomed to Yellowstone

I sure like this place. We will actually start "working" in a couple days. That will be nice. Until now we have been in training, I'v e done some fishing (caught about 40 or so trout so far). we have been seeing the sights and doing some hiking. We are getting to know quite a few of the folks we will be working with and Sandi hs mad some friends of her own.
The wild life is awesome. We have seen perhaps thousands of bison, hundreds of elk, coyotes, grizzly bears, black bears, and more. Hiking and fishing takes on a new dimension. whenever we go out we carry bear spray, and industrial sized canister of pepper spray. It is not likely that we will ever have to use it but there has been one bear attack since we arrived - a photographer who insisted on getting too close to a sow grizzly with cubs had much of his face ripped off - but bear attacks are very rare. elk and bison injure more folks than bears do.
