Yellowstone

Me, at Old Town.
This is a random pile of antlers, with birds nesting in it.
Old Faithful Geyser!!!
Um.... What is this a jacuzzi? No, it is a thermal pool, and it makes you feel like the world is about to explode.
A thermal pool, surrounded by yicky orange stuff.


Today we drove to Yellowstone!!! We saw many mini-geysers and.... OLD FAITHFUL! We only had to wait 45 minutes, and enjoyed the wait with frozen yogurt. We sat back a bit, because it was a nice view, and we didn't have to deal with the SMELL. It was sick. It smelled like... badness. And it had a very end-of-the-world feel to it. Especially with the dark clouds following us. Remember how we talked about the part in Jackson Hole to the Max where Yellowstone blew up? Yeah, it wasn't unlike that... But then it got better. Have no fear, we did not die. Then we drove to Cody WY where we stopped at this old town that was supposed to look like something from the West. It was very deserted and it looked like everyone that lived there died. Maybe from Yellowstone. They had moved everything from somewhere else here, so it was never really a town. It was pretty cool there, with lots of old dead animals, shark teeth and spears. I just wish we could walk into more buildings there especially in the rain. There was a Buffalo Bill museum that we were considering visiting, but we decided there was nothing more that we wanted to do other than lie in nice warm beds. And here we are. Good night Minnesota!
