Hi there from Yellowstone. Weather is fantastic and the scenery is super.
Monday we drove to Geyser basin (about 30 miles). The day was nice and we stopped several times to view the Elk. Here a Stag is standing in the middle of a meadow calling to females..... no luck with the ladies as far as we could see.
Everyone who visits Yellowstone has to have a picture in front of Old Faithful..... it's mandatory.... you can't leave the park without it.
Old Faithful erupts about every 90 minutes and the eruption lasts about two minutes. It's spectacular as 7000 gallons of hot water shoot skyward. We were closer than I expected and it was larger than I imagined. There are 150 geysers in geyser basin.... some larger than Old Faithful but none more famous.
Sharleen has spent many hours looking for a buffalo in the wild..... so...... she finally saw one. This big fellow was just along the road as we drove home. Yellowstone is truly a magical place. Steam comes from the ground everywhere and the scenery is truly amazing.
Tomorrow we take a all day tour to the grand canyon on Yellowstone. We'll let someone else do the driving and just enjoy the park.
More from down the road.

You are getting pretty close to MN! Why don't you just drive on over for a visit?!?
Howdy from the Gilberts!!
Myles wants to know if you have seen any Indians of Montana? We are studying all about Indians.
Jordan wants to know if the Buffalo have stinky breath??
Glad you are having a good time!!
Hi Miles and Jordan,
No Indians yet.... we'll keep looking. We did see a cliff that the Indians ran the Buffalo over when they were hunting them. It's called a Buffalo jump.
And, I don't know about Buffalo breath.... I refuse to get that close to them. The rule is no closer than 25 yards for saftey reasons.
