Day six - Saturday


Today was a sightseeing day. We got on the Grand Loop Road and drove 38 miles to see Old Faithful. We had about an hour to wait until Old Faithful did its thing again so we walked around for a while and then staked out a good seat for the show. We weren’t disappointed. Right on schedule, Old Faithful erupted in a column of steam and water. Although not the most spectacular of the geysers in Yellowstone, Old Faithful is the most regular. So far this had been the highlight of the Yellowstone visit. I’ve seen it before but Ann has not. She was impressed, as anyone seeing it for the first time would be.

Also today, we found a place near the campground where we can get a cell phone signal. If we drive out of the campground and down the road about a mile to a turnout, we can get a signal, make cell phone calls and hook up to the internet. The only problem is finding an electric outlet for the computer. J

BBQ dinner and a game of Scrabble closed out this day.
