Old Faithful
|
Our day-off ended, back on schedule. We left Jackson Hole for Yellowstone. Today's schedule is the "Old Faithful" Geyser, the Grand Prismatic Spring, the Black Basin, and our continuing search for the elusive bear.
Yellowstone was the first National Park established in the U.S. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President U.S. Grant on March 1, 1872. It is known for its wildlife and many geothermal features.
There about 10,000 hydrothermal geysers in the Yellowstone. Old Faithful is the most recognized. It erupts about every 90 minutes. Just be patient and your patience will be rewarded with an eruption. The Grand Prismatic Spring is the Yellowstone's largest hot spring. The tourists flock by the thousands to view this spring. Parking is a problem, as we can attest. It is beautiful. If you go there, don't miss it.
We saw everything we wanted to see except for a bear. We had lunch in the Old Faithful park. It was 40 degrees. We chose to eat in our SUV. Amanda and Linda prepared a 3 salad lunch of chicken salad, broccoli salad, and pasta salad. We took a break from sandwiches. We finished our mission (except for the bear) and returned to our condo for dinner. We had a delicious dinner of "Amanda's Crockpot Chicken".
Our Yellowstone adventure is winding down. Tomorrow we will travel the Moose-Wilson Road in search of more moose and lunch at Persephone Bakery. Tomorrow night we will have grilled pork chops at the condo.
