Today was a day to get some things done in town. Fun stuff like do the laundry, refill a propane tank, buy some groceries and get my bike seat replaced… the one that is laying on the road somewhere between here and GR. We also treated ourselves to a BBQ Beef lunch… it was very good.
In the afternoon we went back to the Old Faithful area and took our bikes so we could see some of the other geysers in the area. One of these, Castle Geyser, was really neat… better than Old Faithful in our opinion. It was supposed to go off sometime between noon and 2:45 PM. Well it didn’t go off until about 4:00 PM and it lasted at least 20 minutes. Just when we thought it was going to end, it started up again. Here are a couple of the pictures from the Geyser – note the rainbow!We also rode down to Morning Glory pond. The colors were spectacular!
Do you suppose Ashonishing Arda got me really steamed? HA! Note the rainbow coming from my head...
We also went to the “Ranger Campfire” which we have done every evening. They do a really good job of presenting various topics about the park and the wildlife. Tonight’s presentation is about reptiles and amphibians – whoopee! Did you know that the Boreas Choir Frog remains in the park over the winter by freezing solid and then thawing out in the spring. It is really amazing the way the different animals adapt to this climate.
It wouldn't be a day in the YNP without an Elk. This one was a small bull as his rack reflected this.
Until tomorrow.
