Yesterday was a busy day. We left Pocatello and made our way to Yellowstone. Yellowstone is a huge park, the largest. It is also the oldest in America. The first thing we did at the park was go through Fountain Pain Pot. It had some really cool geysers, something I had never seen before. It is really amazing to see the water shoot up from the ground. There were these things called mudpots which were basically mud that bubbles because it is so hot. Those were different from anything I’d ever seen.

After that we went on the Firehole Lake Drive where we got to see more geysers. We drove more making some stops to see more hydrothermal features when we eventually got to Old Faithful. We went in for lunch and we were lucky enough to be done at 4:30, ten minutes before Old Faithful would burst. We got there just in time to see it go. It was huge; the largest we had seen. It was really cool.

On our way back out of Yellowstone, we made a few stops. The first things we saw were bison. The baby bison looked like baby tigers. After driving a little more, we saw what we thought were female elk. We were about 25 yards away from them and they were pretty big. Then we saw a male elk in the water just standing there. Our last stop was a ledge that had a great view of the beautiful sunset.

Today we go to Yellowstone again. We will post pictures once we get some more reliable wifi.
