Travels with Murray: Yellowstone

West Yellowstone, Montana

July 26 - Aug 2

It was a long drive from glacier to yellowstone but mostly went through some very pretty scenery. Most of Yellowstone is in Wyoming but the western side is at the very edge of Montana. The RV park was a in the town and a short ride to to the park entrance. If you haven't been to Yellowstone, you should put it on your list. As Sue put it, it is the all you can eat lobster buffet of wildlife. Elk, Buffalo, Eagles and Osprey for a few. We missed Moose, Bear, and Wolf.

Of course we went to Ole Faithful. Named that because it's one geyser that gushes on a regular basis. We had an hour to kill until show time so we had a drink at the beautiful Old Faithful Lodge. The interior seems made of all raw wood with ta huge stone fireplace!

The bar had these groovy cut glass windows separating it from the restaurant that depicted scenes with animals doing various human stuff. Think dogs playing poker of Fabulous Mr. Fox. Beautiful woodwork all around.

The geysers and hot pools are otherworldly. Bubbling pools of all different hues. Water shooting up hundreds of feet! the bacteria mat of life forms that thrive in the hot, sulphurous environment.

We had one of the worst food experience on the trip. We made the mistake of going to a Chinese restaurant that was not only pretty bad food, was also not an inexpensive meal. Better to cook our own food!

Dogs are getting left behind because National Parks are not very dog friendly so they end up spending a lot of time in the RV while we go off exploring the parks. They still get a lot of walks around the RV parks but I think they will be very happy when this trip is over.
