We drove to Yellowstone today, with a beautiful river beside us along most of the mountainous road. We quickly set up and hopped in the car to drive to the National Park. “Old Faithful” was only about 30 miles into the park and we had a brief ½ hour wait (along with hundreds of others) for the old geyser to do its thing! It was a pretty exciting thing to anticipate, then see, but I’m easily amused, and/or impressed. Ivan’s expectations are much higher, but he did enjoy it and now we can say we actually saw it!
On the drive to Old Faithful, we did see a grizzly bear, deer and a huge bison. Ivan had commented, when we saw hundreds of buffalo in South Dakota, that they were not as big as he had always imagined, and I agreed. This guy was the the picture we had!
We had hoped to do some fly fishing here, but were disappointed to find that the waters close to us are still too warm to be productive. Maybe we’ll investigate further tomorrow. Meanwhile, Ivan’s idea of a fabulous meal is to stop at KFC and take home chicken. I fixed my favorite……salad, and afterward managed to burn a bag of microwave popcorn. It will be a challenge to eliminate the smell from our coach. Another lesson learned!!!
