Did a whirlwind trip through part of Yellowstone today. I hope the pics come out. We sort of went off the official trail to a hill to overlook Greater Prismatic and Excelsior- from above it was great. Can't see it as well at eye level.

Saw old faithful of course. Almost no one was in the park so we had just about all the sites to ourselves. When we got to Old Faithful there was no one on the benches and even after waiting there was still plenty of places to sit. Some places there were only a few cars. Great for us to see a lot in a little amount of time.

Drove over to the Lamar Valley to see Bison. We saw lots of wildlife.

The people I met up with today are very interesting and when there wasn't much to see conversation definitely kept me entertained. Silly humans.

Off to the badlands bright and early tomorrow morning. So far on this trip I've had little sleep (a few hours) and very little food. Maybe I'll shed some weight. Tawnya doesn't think I have much to lose though and is worrying. I'm exhausted perhaps I'll sleep tonight but I can hear a train...Where are my secluded woods with no sound but treefrogs?
