*got up late! 9:30!!! Had to pack up and check out of the campsite by 10!!
*went with pop tarts and OJ for breakfast.
*Used my shower in a bag. (alot of wet wipe type things) getting pretty dirty!
*loaded up and headed to Old Faithful.
*Saw a lot of girl elk!!
*got to Old faithful and had an hour and a half before the next geyser went off. We had a picnic of honey/peanut butter sandwiches and checked out the gift store.
*again...a lot of humanity. stadium like seating all around the geyser. Kind of takes the nature out of it all. but still cool.
*Old faithful goes off! it is so cool! and goes really high!
*walk around and check out all the other cool things that happen when there is thermal ground. Reenacted a pic of Jess's dad, Jim, at yellowstone years ago. Jess wore the same vest that his dad wore in the pic. pretty cute.
*we were exhausted and decided to hit the road.
*fueled up on energy drinks, but realized we went 50 miles in the wrong direction. whoops.
*drove across the whole state of wyoming. some really expensive homes here!! drove along the windy river for about 300 miles. very neat. saw 2 girl moose!!!!!! and about 50 deer all clumped together. deer everywhere. Didn't see any Rams. dang.
*arrived in Casper, WY KOA around 10 pm. Tried to blog on their free WIFI, but it messed up.
*Got allergies really bad. Took a pill, read our books, and hit the hay.


waiting for old faithful to blow.


old faithful. getting pretty gassy.

it is starting to blow!

there it goes!



The reenactment of Jim Royall.

hot earth

random, pretty pool of water. "Do not throw things in the pool"




on our drive, we got out to look at the 50 deer hanging out, and walking back to the car we realized the image was straight out of a car commercial. don't ya think! buy a VW passat...today!
