Wyoming day 2. (or is this cabin for sale because I will move right now.)

One strange thing did happen in the mornings of Wyoming: I finally made omelets. Over the years I have tried but it either turns into a scramble or some strange frittata. Well: I finally got it!

My view during breakfast.

This has nothing to do with anything except to prove life is better out west.

So day two of Yellowstone. South to get a glimpse of the Tetons. Stopping at some geothermal fields. After lunch by the Tetons back to Yellowstone. On the way back in the road goes by Lewis Canyon. This area was hit by fire in 1988.  There are still tall burnt trees, but there is also strong regrowth. After hiking out a bit, I overlooked the most beautiful place I have ever seen.

Lewis Canyon

After this we heading to Old Faithful. Originally I thought this was not on the "must see" list. But after seeing the geothermal features it moved up on the list. Well we hadn't looked at the times it was erupting but we thought we would try. 

As we topped a hill, there it was..... erupting off in the distance. It was pretty funny.

LOOK! Old Faithful!

So we walked the big geothermal area, it rained, it was all so cool. A smaller geyser erupted. And then we waited for Old Faithful. The visitors center has estimated time, then says +/- 10 minutes. For us it was +20.  I now call it Old Faithful-ish.

Wild Cat.

Wild Deere.

The back to the cabin. One more night on the mountain. 

Now.... I suggest playing this song while you look through the photo album.

(really I suggest you listen to that song while driving in Wyoming.... It is amazing.)

OK Here's the whole day.

Wyoming... (or...WOW)

Well Wichita got what we are calling dysteria while on the Oregon Trail.  So the day turned into a long line of stops. But at least it was pretty. This is also how I found out the sun doesn't set till 9 something up there! We found our cabin; which was amazing. The dogs were happy, we were tired.
The next morning.... I woke up in Wyoming!
Off to Yellowstone of course. Just 30 minutes down the road and I saw the gates. The first part was affected by a wildfire in recent years so it was really cool to see it coming back.
Now I had researched Yellowstone, and asked people who had been there what they recommend. After pouring over pictures and descriptions I realized it didn't matter which direction; there would be something awesome. And really all I wanted to see was a bison.
So off to the northeast path. Barely past the visitor center.... and I saw what I came to see!
And immediately we stopped in a bison traffic jam.

The rest of the day was waterfalls, and 300 steps to the bottom of the falls, and a river, and picnic, and just so much beautiful nature!  

It ended in steak and whiskey back at the cabin.

Instead of all the details.... how about pictures? Here ya go: Wyoming day 1.
