For all you folks that have already visited Yellowstone, you probably recognize this particular Bison, located at the West Entrance.
One of the many smoldering pits that were seen throughout the vast park.
Our approach to Old Faithful…
Thar she blows…
Cold, windy with intermittent drizzle/snow/sunshine.
Our campground for the Yellowstone portion was a NFS Campground located about 12 miles East of the Eastern Entrance called Rex Hale. Water/Electric/toilets. Located near a scenic river.
The campgrounds was situated between these high hills on both sides and consequently, the wind blew ALL THE TIME. After our experience in Idaho Falls, we were somewhat gun shy when it came to the wind, but at least we knew the worst that could happen was be blown into the river, since there were no significant trees nearby. But the wind never became that threatening.
Our plans were originally to proceed onto Mt Rushmore from here, but with all that had happened we decided to start our return trip back to Kentucky, still about 2,000 miles to our South. We had planned a week here but are now only staying 3 days, leaving tomorrow. In spite of a wide variety of weather and constant wind, we have thoroughly enjoyed our visit here.
