Thursday 5/26

 Yellowstone is beautiful but has terrible internet.  Our WiFi at the hotel (Old Faithful Snow Lodge) is very slow.  I feel like I'm on dial-up 😒

Tom's having camera issues (he forgot a cable) so I cannot get his pictures right now, so you get my iPhone pics for now.

We hit the road early and off to Mammoth Hot Springs, lots of hiking on the boardwalk.  We encountered a buffalo who decided to cross the boardwalk in front of us.  Wow that's a heavy animal.  I gave him lots of space and crossed the street.

Next was Canyon Area which is the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.  We did several hikes to view the upper & lower falls.

 

Norris Geyser is small but has lots of geysers, hot springs, fumaroles and mudpots. One of my favorite places because it has colorful springs.   

Then we drove to Old Faithful which included a traffic jam while people gawked at alleged bear & cub; we bearly (pun) saw them.  The jam was uncalled for.

We located our 4th charging station then off to grab dinner.  Old Faithful was expected to blow at 5:20 so we waited for that.  In the meantime some buffalo buddies came to graze. 

 

When we checked into our room there was a bear in there!

 

Fitbit stats:  23,617 steps = 10.3 miles.  55 flights of stairs  This would be way better with some pictures...
