Day 3: Old Faithful

May 24, 2013

Good Morning!
So far we are liking our little Reno. We have made delicious egg McMuffins and tuna fish casserole.  Although the kitchen is small, it works quite well. The sinks are a little tricky when washing bigger pots or pans, but I am sure I will figure out a system.  The shower works, but takes about 2 minutes for me to just get my hair wet... by that time the water starts getting a little cool. (Apparently, I did not let the water heat up long enough)  Everything else is finding its place rather nicely.
 
We headed off to Old Faithful. It was quite spectacular.  As we were waiting in the viistor center to get more information on hiking trails, we saw "bumblebee" go off. That is a geyeser right next to Old Faithful. After walking around the information center for awhile, we went and took our seat around the geyser. We met 2 interesting women who were very knowledgeable about Yellowstone. They informed us that Old Faithful is named that way not because of the frequency that it goes off, but the height it reaches.
 
Due to chilly winds, we decided to hold off on our hiking for the day and drove around to sites that were not as far. Most of the sites were other geysers. Since there was so much wind, there was a lot of steam making it difficult to see the majestic colors of some of the pools. None the less, we still were in awe all day of how majestic and creative our God truly is! We are so thankful that He decided to share it with us.

Oh, also in the previous post, we forgot to mention that on our drive into Yellowstone we saw Hundreds (not an exaggeration) of white tailed deer and 2 huge Bison grazing along the side of the road! 

Blessings!
