Alone

A lone buffalo at Yellowstone.
I caught a shot of this guy just before he crossed over the ridge.

Old Faithful

And, of course, we had to see the one and only Old Faithful.



It was still pretty impressive.



Some of the pools, hot springs, and geysers all around it were equally impressive.

Heart Spring


Eventually, I'll post more of the others.

This is the Old Faithful Inn. It was built in 1903 and had some amazing architecture, especially inside.


Inside


We didn't stay the night there, but we did get a nice hot bath at the end of our stay in Yellowstone. Niiiice...

Herding The Herd

One morning when we got up to go exploring, we saw this:
Several Rangers on horseback herding a herd of buffalo away from our camp. Apparently, the herd had decided not to cross the river like they usually did. It was pretty cool... and dusty.

The Road

From the roads of Nebraska.

Day 11- The LONG Drive Home

After Mt. Rushmore, we started the drive home.
We finally caught up with the rain when we started south while Amy was driving. Since she doesn't like to drive in the rain at night, I drove the first shift straight through until around 7:30am. That was a long stretch, but it was made easy by all the movies I watched on the laptop,
All told, we logged 4,285 miles. That would be the longest road trip I've ever been on.

Instead of driving all the way to Houston, we stopped in at my mother-in-law's which is about 100 miles north. I'm glad for the break since I am so friggin' tired.

I'll start looking at all of the photos when I get home on a decent computer. Wow... almost 5,000 shots! SURELY some of these are good...
We shall see.
