Today was Yellowstone! Since I didn't plan ahead, I didn't have a good plan of attack so I decided to just do one day and see what I could (or at least Old Faithful). Today turned out to be cloudy and cool so waiting for Old Faithful took a little more patience. (I kept thinking of the saying, "A watched pot never boils." Except it finally did.)
I then braved the weather and visited other geysers. Standing in the steam felt good except for the smell! When I was leaving, I stopped by a waterfall. There were some people swimming in the river. It had to be freezing!
While it was beautiful, I've decided I'm definitely a beach person. I like the wide open space.
That's why they call it "Ole Faithful" It will eventually show it self!!!
ReplyDeleteThey say that you used to be able to time your watch using the geyser but I think it's timing has become more lax in its old age!
ReplyDeleteThe rangers gave a certain time, and then hedged by saying +/- 10 minutes. It was on the plus side when I was there
