6/25/08 Yellowstone- Morning



Muccch Warmer.
Wake up at 9:30 Mountain time. Check in. and SHOWER. for a fee.
It would have been easy enough to sneak in, but if paying for this shower aided in the general upkeep of this park, then i was ok with paying it.



After our showers, we make a fire, cook veggie dogs and make 1/2 smores... minus the gelatinous marshmallows. Walk 10 minutes to our campsite view, which was this:





Everywhere is blue.
field of buttercups.
turns into mud.
turns into amphitheater.
Strange neighbors take a candy bar.

Drive 30 mi into the park to visit Old Faithful
geysers. geysers. thousands, thousands of geysers.
Shoot a whole bunch of analogue photos, until i realized i didn't load film. hm.
only a few digital photos remain.

>>humans come to ogle at the land, they have not yet touched or destroyed.

After about an hour of geyser looking, we purchase the most expensive soft serve ever made...
Leave geyser park, and head to Kepler falls to climb around on the water fall rock for a while, searching for a hidden cave that we never found... bust.
Get soaked playing on freezing sand bar in Yellowstone lake:





Go back to camp site, make dinner- corn, veggie dogs, soup, and tea, all without the use of a pot or pan.
Storm comes, so we take cover in our tent. Watch Kevin Costner in dances with wolves on Craig's laptop until it dies, fall asleep to the storm.
