LOCATION: Yellowstone National Park, in western Wyoming
WEATHER: Sunny and pleasant. Highs in 60s
We left Cody, Wyoming after eating breakfast with a nice couple from France, at the motel's lobby. We drove about 80 miles to Yellowstone. Photo opportunity at every minute. Here we are at a roadside pull-out. Still lots of snow.
We are staying 3 nights in the southern part of the park. Here is George setting up the Airstream with snowdrifts in the background
We drove a circular loop around the south end of the park, stopping at geysers along the way. This one is called Mud Pot
There are warnings all over about wildlife. Our campground does not allow tents or soft-sided pop-ups due to the number of bears in this area. While we were driving we saw lots of bison. This one had a baby with her. Cute!
Another one was just standing on the middle of the road, holding up traffic. A ranger came and blew a special horn to make him run away.
This geyser is called Dragon's Mouth. It looks and sounds like its name
The afternoon's trip culminated at Old Faithful. We sat on the old lodge's balcony sipping a drink, waiting for it to blow
The lodge itself is beautiful with huge wood beams and an enormous fireplace
DINNER: Pasta with sautéed shrimp in a garlic sauce with green beans and feta. Mixed green salad on the side.
