FINALLY!!!

on our way back from yellowstone, we came upon a huge pile of traffic.  we see alot of jams due to the animals, but this was so big that we figured it was some kind of traffic accident.  i didn't think to take a picture of the mess because we were concentrating what was going on ahead of us.

there had to have been at least 50 cars, trucks and tour buses.  probably more.

when we finally got up to where the majority of the congestion was, we noticed everyone was focusing on the field next to the road.  between that and all the people running around like crazy fools and crossing in front of cars and almost getting run over, we realized that is was an animal.

and that animal was a ....

BEAR!!!

it was out in the field quite a bit away from the road and it actually was too far away to really even say that we saw one, but i had to take pictures of it anyway.

see that small brown speck in the middle of the picture?

that is a bear

hopefully, the next bear pictures are better than this.

hopefully, there is a next time to get bear pictures.
