Day 10

We spent all of day 10 in the park. We woke up early b/c of the cold and headed out to see the park. We were probably on our way before 10AM. The first thing we saw was a big traffic jam. There was a line of cars a far as we could see so we pulled the car over and walked up to take a look. It turned out that there was a maintenance crew removing two dead buffalo from the road. We got there after they had been mostly loaded into the dump truck, so we don't know the circumstances of their deaths. Noah did remark that they were "Buffalo Soldiers."

From there we kept driving and eventually found a swimming spot.

The swimming was fantastic, possibly the best part of our entire trip. You could swim upstream and them jump into a rush of water and be shot down the river.

After swimming we drove around the park some more and eventually ended up back at the campsite. After we finished dinner, we were approached by a pair of German Teenagers. They were do a cross country road tip and were trying to camp in the park. They had been unable to find a spot in the campground and offered to split our site with us for the night. We agreed as a result saved $10 on our camping.
