Seriously, I could have spent a week at Yellowstone. As before, I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. Enjoy!
West Thumb Geyser Basin
This made me think of that scene in Liar Liar where Fletcher keeps saying the pen is blue...THE GODDAMN POOL IS BLUE!
The above appear to be bones of a former animal. Ribs, perhaps? Seemed very out of place...
Not much of a divide...

Old Faithful Area
Funny story: We showed up about an hour before Old Faithful was predicted to erupt. We waited. About 10 minutes after the predicted time, a sizable spew came out, but nothing fantastic to write home about. We looked at each other and said "Meh..." and walked away to explore the rest of the park. 5 minutes later, while we were in the woods, we heard the tourist "Ooooooh... Aaaaaah..." and realized the geyser had just erupted. This is all we could see:
Oh well. On to other things:
We eventually did make it back around to the next Old Faithful eruption. It was pretty impressive. I just wish there weren't so many damn people around!
More from the Old Faithful Area, which apparently contains the largest concentration of geysers on the planet.
We set out for the Grand Tetons later that evening.
More to come later...or tomorrow. Time to go slap some lime on some stones! WOOHOO!
