First Day at Yellowstone National Park (YNP)

We arrived at YNP on Monday morning (no internet or phone service for 4 days - no blog updating).  We stayed in a cabin at Old Faithful Lodge - we could walk out our door and be at Old Faithful.  Lodging is tough to get in the park and this was one little cabin!  Dad thought at first there was a sewage problem and we quickly figured out it was the smell of sulphur from the geysers.  We saw so many geysers I can't begin to remember them all!


Kepler Cascades - Love the water rushing through the mountainds and the Lodge Pole Pines



Watched Old Faithful erupt twice - on different sides.



Bacteria mats where organisms grow - from the geyser run off.

Sometimes a guy walks so much you just have to stop and take off your shoes and rest!
