Where's the Wildlife at, Yellowstone?

We are currently driving through Yellowstone.  It is a majestic 62 degrees out.  We haven't seen any animals; however, tree trunks keep siking me out.  Birds and ducks don't count, Gabbie.

Hippies practicing their meditation skillz.

RV's were everywhere (obviously).  We passed one where this little white yapper dog was sitting on the dashboard in the window barking and clawing at passing motorcycles.  It was hilarious.


Cascades.

Old Faithful.  It took a while for this guy to blow.  While waiting people were getting restless and there was almost a rumble in the jungle due to a science professor's umbrella blocking the view of a couple bikers.

We heard a tour while waiting, and the tour guide stated some really obvious sights.  For example, "and if you look behind us, you can see the Old Faithful Lodge.  There people can get ice cream, lunch or coffee, and watch Old Faithful erupt.  So if there's bad weather, you can be inside and still enjoy the show."  Wow. 

FINALLY!


Behind Old Faithful was a boardwalk that looped around all the other geysers and hot springs.


They went off more often.



The minerals and heat caused some crazy colors.


When we left Old Faithful, we passed more hot springs.

Elk.  

A coyote.

That's it.
