Good Food and Photography

Grandma and I stopped by a Wildlife Gallery that has opened up in Silvergate. There were some gorgeous photos and it was very interesting to talk to Dan Hartman about how he and his wife stopped working and moved to Silvergate with their two daughters to pursue photography. What a courageous decision! The whole family spends their time out in the wilderness, trying to get good shots. The prefer to go out in the winter because they think the wildlife looks more dramatic when set against a stark white background.

After that, Grandma took me to the Log Cabin Cafe for a delicious trout dinner. It was so nice! The Log Cabin Cafe is for sale for 700,000, and that includes both the restaurant and two guest bungalows in the back. Seems like a lot of work though, considering that the current owners do all the cooking themselves. Whoever buys the place will have to learn to run the kitchen, or hire someone to do it for them. I wonder how many customers they get in the winter? Grandma and I were there in the middle of the week and every table was full. Of course, it was the middle of July and that is the peak of the tourist season. They say that Yellowstone is getting more and more tourists in the winter, though, because it is such a great time to see the wolves.
