The last few days have been the best days of the trip.We went to Yellowstone and it is such a beautiful place.
The first day at Yellowstone we went to Mammoth hot springs.Mammoth hot springs is full of some amazing things to see.My dad went to Yellowstone a few years ago and he said that it was different back then.He said that the hot springs had more color and that there were much more that were actually working and less that had stopped and sat there with all of the left over minerals that used to help it bubble and boil.
In the brochure that you will see about Yellowstone...must have been takin a few years ago because it does NOT,look the same.Yes it still has patches of color but most of it is covered in white mineral.But,that mineral did make some beautiful things.In one of the hot springs were bunch of fossilized bugs...and it was ssssooooo cool!There were fossilized butterflies dragonflies crickets bees and there were also some flowers which were really pretty.
The next day when we were driving to see Old Faithful, or what we called for the day Old Unfaithful,we saw smoke in the distance and we decided to stop and take a look.It was the hot springs again,but,since it had rained the night before,they had ssssooo much more steam and it was ssssooo many different colors!some were blue some were red some green,....it was amazing.Anyway back to old unfaithful.
Old faithful is a geyser that is supposed to be faithful in the time that she explodes...meaning spits boiling water super high in the air for 1 to 5 minutes...well we were there for about an hour and she wouldn't spit anything up!!!so we decided to go have lunch in the biggest wooden structure in the world instead of waiting for the poor old unfaithful to not spit up on time.
Today we were planning on leaving Yellowstone and when we were driving out of the park we saw HUGE clouds of smoke rising in the distance.it was the hot springs but not mammoth hot springs...this hot spring was not as well known so it did not have as many people...but it was better than mammoth!!!!!
There were so many amazing springs!some looked like huge pots of bubbling clay and then there were some that were super hot and spitting up aaaalllll over the place!But,my favorite was......the Dragons Mouth...it was so amazing.there was this huge whole and at the back was this cave and every 2 seconds a giant puff of smoke would shoot out so it looked like a dragon was back there blowing fire!!!!or should i say blowing smoke....IT WAS SO AMAZING!!!!!!it also looked like something you might see out of Pirates of the Caribbean.....IT WAS SO COOL!!!!
once we started driving again we saw....about 100 buffalo and one of them cam right up next to the RV..it was soooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are such rental animals although they look big and scary and if they poked you with one of there horns you would probably die....but they would only do that if you got them mad....but if you don't get them mad they are super nice....and SUPER COOL!!!!!
