Thermal day in Yellowstone






Our goal today was to refresh our memories from our last visits to the park and fondly remember those that were with us during those visits.
We walked the boardwalks across the geyser basin and took several hikes even though we were at a mile and a half elevation. We just had to stop along the way and take lots of pictures.
The bent support for the bow over one of our beds worked fine after the good guys at the tire repair place opened their place up just after they closed and put a clamp on the support. We had come home and found one tent side collapsed. A storm came through while we were gone yesterday and bent the support. We witnessed the results of one of those storms in the mountains where we encountered the roads and mountain sides white with hail.
Today we spent all day doing the thermal pools and fininshed by waiting about an hour with some 1500 other people waiting for Old Faithful to do her thing. We were not disappointed as you will see in the photo.
We head out for Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons tomorrow as we make our way homeward. We plan to stay two days before we actually head home.
