Druid Pack

We got up early this morning and drove in to the park before dawn. The kids slept. We found a group of people with spotting scopes on a ridge in the Lamar Valley. We climbed up the ridge with our borrowed scope and set up. They were all watching a pack of wolves called the Druid Pack. There were ten in the pack and they were playing. Sliding on the snow and playing chase with each other while the mother and father watched. The mother's belly was extra large so she must be expecting soon. John when down and got the kids and they watched for a while too. That was most of the morning. Then we headed back to the Mammoth area and hiked the upper loop while John napped in the car. Most of the features along the road are no longer active. On the way back we stopped at a place called Boiling River which flows in to the Gardiner River. There is a hot spring in the river where you can bath if you want to. John, Jack and I walked up to the spring while the girls stayed in the car.
