River Float

Yesterday Velma, a river guide, took Sue's guests on a float down the Yellowstone River. Sue invited Rosemary and Holly and myself to join them in our own boats. We enjoyed floating the lazy current for about a 15 mile distance under the sunny sky. We spotted 7 or 8 big raptor nests in trees along the shoreline and sighted 3 or 4 each of bald eagles, osprey and golden eagles. And...those wonderful white pelicans treated us to the sight of their grand flight just above the water's surface.

At the end of the relaxing day, Holly and Rosemary and I bought a six-pack of beer and a delicious 'Flying Goat' pizza (feta, artichoke hearts, chicken, sundried tomatos) and went to Sacajawea Park down by the river to feast on our dinner.
