ESP Day 9 - Yellowstone River Classics Frustrating 25Jul19

Wilks left early and I spent extra time at camp to recharge the battery (which went dead after 4 days of use without the generator - much better). Today I hit the classic sections of the lower Yellowstone River between LaHardy Rapids and Mud Volcano. While I now know better where to fish in this area (possibly tomorrow), today I was largely searching aimlessly and did not catch a fish, or even get a strike. I was frustrated with AM fishing and chose to eat out at the Lake Lodge and try to get WiFi, as I have had no comm service of almost any kind for 4 days. I am communicating with Kala via satellite but that’s marginal as it’s just one tweet out per day. Their internet was down for the last 20 hours… sheesh. Their laundry still worked so I cleaned my clothes then headed out to contemplate along the shores of the awesome Yellowstone Lake before heading to the ghetto for the night. I was greeted by an elk mamma and her brood at my site. Oh too, I included the requisite bison pic from fishing today and from on the road passing the Crusher - they are majestic but they are all over and many cars stop on the road to view each nostril as it is was all new - just creates traffic issues IMO.
