Characters Welcome.

A tribute to, and a sampling of the characters we have encountered in and around Yellowstone National Park:

Here our friend Rachel poses with two of the most humerous of humans employed at the Hibernation Station: Lorene & Jim.

With her Jedi hairstyling and his Jim Hensen looks, the delight some couple pictured below will surely have success selling their hand-crafted goods at this year's Mountain Man Rendezvous.

In Virginia City, we observed this village dainty walking her pet ferret.  While waiting at the town creamery shortly after, we realized that the raw curdled material used to create the ice cream quite resembled the back of this woman's quadriceps.

We strongly discourage affiliating with this man and/or dialing the number seen on the back of his t-shirt. 

Just yards from the entrance of our hotel, this woman was either preparing for the worst or just had not sufficiently removed her garb after battle.

Though not visible from this photograph, the driver of this vehicle is adorned in a police uniform bearing the words "beer sheriff."  Also not visible is his partner in the passenger seat, Cousin It.  It became apparent very quickly that both were frequents at car shows and quick draws with the middle finger.
