Best Western By Mammoth Hot Springs Gardiner

Der absolute Hammer...auch unser zweiter, dritter und vierter Tag im Yellowstone waren traumhaft, unbeschreiblich, spannend und dieses Mal hat sogar das Wetter mitgespielt. Wir haetten locker 1000 Fotos machen koennen, haben uns aber auf 200 beschraenkt :-) Wir haben Hunderte von Bisons (Amerikanische Bueffel), unzaehlige Elche, ca. 10 Koyoten, Springboecke, Gaense, Voegel, Squirrels, etc. gesehen. Die Elche hier sehen zwar eher wie grosse Hirsche aus, aber ...

... us that they were going before us but neither Cynthia nor I could hear. I was getting agitated when I lost my friend, so I walked fast, got back to the visitor center, asked the Ranger how long the other trail took. He replied that he was pretty sure it’s 0.5 miles. So I was half running down the steps. No, Cynthia wasn’t there. So I took some time just walking in the loop. Later Michelle and Gary ...

We were a day early getting to our reserved spot at the Yellowstone North entrance so this site was recommended to us. It was a nice relaxing park right by the Yellowstone River. The river is swift flowing and not very deep. It seems like most of the people here flyfish and the current moves them swiftly north and I am not quite sure how they get back it seems like a heck of alot of rowing.<br><br>Didn't do much today but relax.

... to Yellowstone National Park, the 1st American National Park! It was a beautiful sight to begin with. From the trees and the animals to the geysers and yellow stones, you can tell that all of this belonged to Yellowstone and nowhere else. It was sad, however, to see that half of the forest was burned down from the 1988 wild fires. They are still in their current, darkened state. But I heard that after 100 years, new ...

... his friend. <br><br>After that exciting adventure, we were obviously starved. So we went to the local pizza joint called the K Bar. It's kind of run down now a days. But it serves great pizza and in a fun atmosphere with an old school jukebox and pool tables. <br><br>K Bar rocks. <br>

... of Pizza, we came back to the hotel to be picked up for an evening tour of Historic Buffalo Ranch (this is where they bred the buffalo (bison and buffalo are the same) in the early to mid 1900s to bring back up the count of the bison in Yellowstone. It definitely worked, because we saw them EVERYWHERE. In fact, on our first day in Yellowstone, we met up with a bison that was walking on OUR side of the road. We ...

... times and the 45th Parallel (which is the half way point between the Equator and the North Pole). We ended the day by visiting Sheepeaters Cliff. There Brooks was able to climb on some really old lava formations. We also came across what looked like a beaver living in the lava formations. All in all, the south part of Yellowstone was really nice since it offered a vast range of views: mountains, grasslands, lava fields, geyser fields, boulder fields ...

... and then I got a couple of books at a used book store (2 books-$.35). Things were cheap here.<br> I got a bunch of stuff at a hardware store that had auto parts. I had checked the spark plug wires and saw that they were a big part of the problem. For those who don't know you use to run the engine when it was dark and you could see if the cables were bad by the flashing crossfire along the cables. Mine could have been lighting ...
