| In 1941 the Park wanted people to stop feeding the bears. It had been a common practice in earlier years. Some of the photos below look like feeding from cars was still happening. |
 |
| In the album there are only a few photos of Charlotte and Anne. We think this one is Charlotte. We wonder what kind of car (parked behind) they were driving. |
 |
| We think this is Anne. |
 |
| In 1941 Charlotte says the bears stop traffic. But not so many cars can be seen. Today, a bear sighting like this might stop a hundred or more cars. |
 |
| Were some people feeding bears from their cars? |
 |
| Interesting to compare to the crowds that wait for Old Faithful today. |

Thanks for stopping by John's Island.
They certainly documented their trip nicely!!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see all the changes,but Old Faithful is still Old Faithful.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting to see how life/things change over time. These two women really did an extraordinary job of documenting their journey.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great post. The young ladies really had a fantastic trip and covered so much territory. That was great for them especially in the profession they were in. I would love to see Yellowstone some day. Those bears are absolutely ginormous!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and postcards of a wonderful place in the USA! I remember our trip with you and Barb to Yellowstone and places in Montana. What fun we had and a great tour guide...John Robinett.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the nice comments! As many of you will know, I collect Yellowstone memorabilia. Found this memory book/scrapbook on eBay several years ago. I have never seen another one quite like it. Charlotte must have been fully into scrapbooking as a hobby. The clippings, comments, and photos are arranged so carefully and organized so well ... it really amazed me the first time I looked at it. (After looking the whole scrapbook over carefully, I'm still not positive which lady created it, but most likely it was Charlotte.) I wonder if either of the ladies are still alive. I would love for them to see this posting.
