Jeep Expedition: Fossil Creek/Verde Hot Springs
For more information see our Weblog
We had a ball. I went the first time by myself (Steve) and forgot the camera. I told Marnie and we went the very next weekend to check it out with the camera...

I usually try to limit the picts to nine but I couldn't help it, here are the best of the pictures we took.

Fossil Creek is a beautiful oasis in what is mostly desert. The creek was diverted to feed the local power plant but the decision was made to salvage the creek for native wildlife. The fish in the big pool (below) would swim within a few inches of our feet.

Native Fish Crazy Kids! That water is cold!


Upon entering the Verde River Valley this sign greets the visitor. There is a camping area on the Verde and the old hotel and hot springs are a mile hike up river. There is not much left of the hotel as it burned down in the 60s. The spring temperature is just a little warmer than body temperature so it didn't do much for us. The artwork was great.

There were two other couples there (boy, boy, girl, boy - you do the math!) and we saw at least a dozen hikers that never made it to the springs.









Okay, here is that gratuitous nudity shot you have been silently waiting for:

Yellowstone/Tetons 2006

What a great trip! The wildlife made the trip. The first big animal we saw as we entered the Tetons on our way to Yellowstone was a big Grizzly. I think this is a rare sight even for the area. We pretty much checked off all the big game animals except for Moose. We never saw one. The absolute coolest thing we saw was a Wolf carrying an Elk-calf head by the neck.

Sorry there are no picts of some of the sights as they were too close and Steve is kind of anal about disturbing wildlife. Imagine if the Wolf was carrying food back to her cubs and dropped it because of us. Some of them were just too close for pictures.
