 Day 140 of Project 365... the guy and i finally went on the Yellowstone in a Day tour... it is free for employees and it goes to all the major villages and some worthwhile attractions... we had to wrestle someone else to get on... felt bad... but then again... it was more logical that we went since we made up the right numbers... quite a number of waterfalls... Rustic Falls... Gibbon Falls... Tower Falls... Upper and Lower Falls of Grand Canyon of Yellowstone... saw Old Faithful, the famous geyser, go off... visited the 103 year-old Old Faithful Inn... parked next to lazing bisons at the Yellowstone Lake Hotel... one even rolled over for reasons unexplained... walked the thermal areas of Fountain Paint Pots... and we were just in time to see a geyser that only erupts quite rarely go off... spotted a good number of animals... especially since i was sitting by the window... 3 bears, a grizzly and 2 blacks... a beaver... a hare... a chipmunk that jumped really high... (best part was, we were at a very crowded Artist's Point, and only we saw it...) 2 bull elks with fully grown antlers... a moose, without antlers though... a baby bighorn sheep... pronghorns... bisons... red-tailed hawks... ravens... sandhill cranes... pelicans... geese... ducks... elks... so i guess it was pretty awesome... therefore... picture of the day must undoubtedly be the world renowned Old Faithful geyser... during its eruption... not as spectacular as i imagined... but still pretty cool... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:59 --Link to Post |
