To Yellowstone





We were very sad that we were only spending the night in Jackson Hole! Corey and I made the most of it, though, by getting up early to maximize our gawking time :o) Corey went for a chilly bike ride up to Moose, and I just wandered around the town.
After breakfast, we checked out of our adorable B&B, and meandered towards Yellowstone. We made brief stops for photos and teeny walks to vistas.
Between the Tetons and Yellowstone, there were miles of deciduous forest and big valleys. Some had wildlife, and some didn’t, but it was all beautiful.
Before we got to our hotel, we got a chance to see Old Faithful. Well, Old Faithful wasn’t on the way… it was more of an “improvised and unintended route,” you may say ;o) We were very lucky to arrive when we did. We only waited for 15 or 20 minutes for the geyser to erupt, while other people have been waiting for 90 minutes. It was really cool the first time. Now we can check Old Faithful off of our bucket list!
When the big show was over, we got in the car and headed back to Yellowstone Lake, where we needed to be. Our hotel at Yellowstone Lake was unremarkable, but it was a place to shower and get two good night’s rest.
We had a great dinner downstairs in the dining room of our hotel! After dinner, we just read our books and went to bed. Oh yeah, and I squished the barbs on my tackle and re-spooled my reel for fishing. Tomorrow will be the day to hit it hard!
