Yellowstone

The forests have been desimated on the eastern entrance to the Park and can be seen in the background of the Yellowstone Lodge. Hundreds of small spouts of steam burble out of the ground and smell of sulphur. We did a drive by of the official big Old Faithful, but did not wait around the 90 minutes until the next scheduled eruption. Instead this mini gyser responded to my proximity. Yellowstone Lake at SteamBoat Point looked vast and beautiful. There were warnings that swimming there would cause death within 3 minutes.......for some reason, George did not feel like testing out that theory. ANother fact we read about later ws that hundreds of people et gorged by buffalos every year, but the ones that we photoed seemed very indifferent to me.
