Dropped by Old Faithful for one last viewing before driving towards Madison and Firehole Lake, where we were fortunate to see a herd of bison up close - up VERY close! Like, in the middle of our road close! Really a gorgeous scene, with the steam rising off of the lake behind the herd....a herd just like this was probably grazing in this very spot thousands of years ago....a wonderful, inspiring sight.....
Lots of cool geyser formations here.....
Since we were going to head out of the park to the northwest on Sunday, and needed some laundry done after a week on the road - not to mention that I'd love to watch a little bit of the Ryder Cup on Sunday - we decided to leave the park and hookup in West Yellowstone, just into Montana. We're in a lovely commercial park for a couple of nights, adjacent to the Gallatin National Forest where dogs ARE allowed off leash! Just back from a nice walk there with Molly - she enjoyed the freedom after fairly strict rules of National Parks. Got to toutou just before a front of a thunderstorm rolled in....about 6pm, and Amy and I are going to eat out in town tonight....found a cute little restaurant with a chef-owner that looks good.....
Tomorrow morning we'll either drop off our dirty laundry to be washed and folded (if available), or we'll do it ourselves. Either way, we're having pancakes at Running Bear Pancake House - evidently quite well-regarded around here! We travel on our stomachs....
