Our Yellowstone and other western points vacation, August 21-September 6, 2008. You may download photos for your personal use, but don't sell or put on another webpage without my permission. However, you may forward this link to anyone you want. All the photos were taken by myself,  Ken Ziegenbein. You can contact me by clicking on this email graphic:

Click on any image for that day's photos and captions. These are rather large photo files and I'll be changing them to have smaller 'clickable-to-enlarge' photos as I have time. However, if you have broadband, it will only take a few seconds to view each one. I am also going back to these webpages to add more information, using our maps and other data, so check back from time to time.
