Yellowstone





Well, we are now done with our adventure in Yellowstone and it was amazing. The first day we spent driving around the lower region of the circle. We visited the Mammoth Caves, however, it was sad to see that most of the sulfur sites, the orange areas if you've been, have mostly dried up. However, the waterfalls that we saw were beautiful and the sulfur sites that we did see were pretty amazing. We saw tons of animals moose, buffalo, and deer. The next day was probably one of the best days for us. We drove around with the family of Clint's schoolmate and had a blast. The first area that we went to was Old Faithful, but we just didn't see Old Faithful. In fact we only saw Old Faithful from a little ways away, but we saw the Grand Geyser, which was amazing. The Grand is the world's largest predictable geyser and it was a site to see, which was 5 min after Old Faithful and the Grand also erupted when Castle (another geyser) erupted. It was so beautiful and it was amazing that we got to see all three within minutes of each other. After our geyser viewings we toured around Yellowstone more. We saw more geysers and sulfur pools, which were beautiful. It was also tons of fun just looking at the wildlife for hours, but on our way back we saw so much wildlife it was unbelievable. First we saw a wolf, but then we realized that there was a grizzly with 2 cubs with it. Then as we continued, we saw 2 brown bears. Then again, we stopped and saw another bear and a white wolf. It was just great. As we all said that day, it couldn't have been a more amazing day. Now, we are in South Dakota and will be heading over to Mount Rushmore tomorrow. Oh and by the way, if you want to see the pictures in a larger size just click on them. Also you can contact me at Rag98@aol.com if you don't have a blogger account.

That's all for now.
