We woke up yesterday morning and decided to go an adventure. We were going to go somewhere fishing but part of the way down the road we decided to go into Yellowstone Park. We had such a great day. Didn't see any wildlife, but saw so many amazing and beautiful things. The above picture is of Firehole. We usually swim in it. You jump into the stream and it carries you down stream. It is a blast, but right now the water is too high so there is not swimming. Steve was bummed!!
This is old Faithful going off. When I was a kid it went off every hour on the hour but now after some earthquakes it goes of between 60 and 90 minutes. Yesterday was a record high in many years and it lasted longer than it usually does. I think it did it just for us!!
This is the back of my dad!! What a great shot Old Faithful and my Dad.
We went into Old Faithful Lodge for an ice cream, we just sat and admired the amazness of this very old lodge. This is a block that is right in the middle of the lodge.
I took this picture to show two things the tall trees that are bare are from the fire that happened to yellowstone in about 1989. The thick new trees that you see are the new growth. When the pine cones fell to the ground the heat from the fire made them burst open and all the seeds eventually work their way up and produced new trees. It is a very healthy forest now. But will still be many many years before Yellowstone returns to all it's glory like it was before the fire.
Here is a picture of my traveling companions. Steve, Susan and my Dad. They are standing in front of Lewis Falls.
Another picture of tall trees still standing that got burned in 1989.
We had a great picnic around Jackson Lake.
Steve and I decided that when we ever build our dream home we want a scene like this out our picture window. This is mount Moran in Yellowstone park.
Steve and I standing in front of Lewis Falls. We had such a great day. We love to take sight seeing trips with Dad and Susan. They are always game for an adventure. My Dad loved being the co pilot because it could just look at everything and not have to worry about traffic, where to park, and just enjoyed the scenery.
