Movin' West - Day 15

Movin’ West – Day 15

Monday, September 16th – out early, left the dogs at the motor home because all they do is complain in the car. We headed back to Old Faithful after an expensive breakfast at Lake Village Lodge (stay away from that place!). We arrived in time to get some pictures of the geyser spouting from beginning to end, but those will not be in the Web Album because we already showed Old Faithful before. While at Old Faithful, we tried to log on to update the blog through Day 14, but our connection was too slow, so we decided to move on and get to the blog later (after we leave Yellowstone).

Our next stop was at the Middle Geyser Basin, just beyond Old Faithful. This was a good take! We took lots of pictures here of the HOT mineral springs and geysers, and the color variations in the rock formations. Also, got pictures of the hot thermal waters flowing into the river (Firepot River). We were amazed at all the variations in rock colorations here – and the color of the thermal pools (turquoise and opal) – magnificent. This is one of those destinations you HAVE to put on your “Bucket List” of things to see before you kick it! Our pictures just don’t do it justice!

From Middle Geyser Basin, we headed north to Madison, then over to Norris before heading back to Fishing Bridge campground. We spotted another coyote on the way back, but he was just too far away and going away from us, so we couldn’t get a good picture of him. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. About the only wildlife we do see in any numbers are buffalo. They’re EVERYWHERE!!! After we got back to the motor home, we took the dogs for a short ride to spend some time sitting by the lake, but we weren’t able to find a good spot – the damn buffalo were all over the place when we wanted to pull over!

Tomorrow, we are headed down to Jackson, WY and the Grand Tetons. Stay tuned for that report.
