Thank you all for the support. It means a lot. Since I have been in Yellowstone I have written letters/memories to those who have wondered how I have been. This is my fourth season, (2nd Winter/once this is finished, my second year). Photos will arrive on here when the internet allows. I do have to give a shout out to my friend, Craig, who has a entire web page devoted to Yellowstone. If you would like to visit, check out the webpage at:

Craig has put endless hours into the webpage and has nailed every aspect that one may ask about Yellowstone.
More on the subject...Not much has happened in the days I haven't wrote due to training. I have learned more than I thought I would entering the server position I accepted. When I say learn, I mean I have studied the menu and the etiquette of a server.
Today was my first day off of the season. I was lucky enough to not work more than 10 days in a row in the beginning of the season. In years past I worked anywhere from 7 to 13 days in a row before receiving a day or two off. What did I do with my day? It was cold and windy so I stayed inside.
After dinner I went to the employee pub and after some time Paul came in after he found it. Paul is new to the park and has a wonderful life story to my opinion. I won't go into details but for a short story, Paul is good with computers to a very high level, but followed his wife to Yellowstone and is now enjoying free time instead of working.
On a side note...
The other night there were a bunch of young elk who grazed upon my close yard. I walked back from the EDR and when I was near the dorm I saw three elk hanging outside the dorm like they owned it. A girl was talking on her phone walking down the sidewalk and came within 20 feet of an elk, to where the elk was like, "Hell no, your not walking on MY sidewalk!" The elk ran towards the girl and scared her off between two cars. When I saw this I hugged the building so he couldn't see me and snuck inside the doorwell and ran to the top of the stairs. Thankfully the architect that built the building, gave the top of the landing an open window to where people can stare town the creatures that roamed the front lawn.
There was no danger that evening. Security was notified and everyone made it to their room that night.
Are elk always so aggressive?
ReplyDeleteThe male elk are aggressive during runt season which is around September and October. The female elk are aggressive during the calving season around May. All wild animals can be aggressive at any point which is why it's nice to remind people to keep a safe distance.
